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