It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever withdraws from obedience to the Imam and the ruler, and separates from the community of Muslims, and dies in that state, he dies the death of ignorance. Whoever fights under a blind banner, becoming angry due to tribalism and supporting others due to tribalism, and is killed in that state, his killing is also like that of the days of ignorance. And whoever comes out in rebellion against my Ummah, striking the righteous and the wicked alike, not sparing the believers nor fulfilling the covenant with those he has a covenant with, then he has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to do with him.
