It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion regarding this: if rulers are imposed over us who do not follow your Sunnah and do not act upon your command, then what is the ruling for us regarding them? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who does not obey Allah Almighty, he cannot be obeyed.
