It is narrated from Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him): Ziyad appointed Hakam bin Amr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) as the governor of Khurasan. Hazrat Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) wished to meet him, and he met him at the door of his house and said, "I wished to meet you. Did you hear the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that there is no obedience to any creature in disobedience to Allah?" Hakam (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "Yes!" Upon this, Hazrat Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Allahu Akbar."
