Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates:“O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.”(an-Nisa: 59) (O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.) This verse was revealed regarding Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hudhafah bin Qais bin ‘Adi Sahmi (may Allah be pleased with him) when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed him as the commander of an army and sent him forth.
