حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الصَّهْبَاءِ حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَ نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا هَؤُلَاءِ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى نَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنْزَلَ فِي كِتَابِهِ مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ قَالُوا بَلَى نَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ مَنْ أَطَاعَكَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَأَنَّ مِنْ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ طَاعَتَكَ قَالَ فَإِنَّ مِنْ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ أَنْ تُطِيعُونِي وَإِنَّ مِنْ طَاعَتِي أَنْ تُطِيعُوا أَئِمَّتَكُمْ أَطِيعُوا أَئِمَّتَكُمْ فَإِنْ صَلَّوْا قُعُودًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5679
Saalim ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar narrated that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar told him that one day he was with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and a group of his Companions. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) turned to them and said: "O people, do you not know that I am the Messenger of Allah to you?" They said; Indeed, we bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah. He said: "Do you not know that Allah revealed jn His Book that whoever obeys me has obeyed Allah?" They said: Indeed, we bear witness that whoever obeys you has obeyed Allah, and part of obedience to Him is obeying you. He said: "Verily, part of obeying Allah is obeying me, and part of obeying me is obeying your leaders. Obey your leaders and if they pray sitting then pray sitting."
