Sunan an-Nasai 4208 (Book 39, Hadith 60) #18741
Staying True to Faith

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of staying true to one's faith and not following rulers who are unjust.

It was narrated that Kab bin Ujrah said: "The Messenger of Allah came out to us and we were nine, fie and four, some 'Arabs and some non- 'Arabs. He said: 'Listen. Have you heard that after me there will be rulers, whoever enters upon them and believes their lies and help them in their wrongdoing is not of me, and I am not of him, and he will not come to me at the Cistern? Whoever does not enter upon them or believe their lies or help them in their wrongdoing is of me and I am of him, and he will come to me at the Cistern"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، قَالَ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ تِسْعَةٌ خَمْسَةٌ وَأَرْبَعَةٌ أَحَدُ الْعَدَدَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ وَالآخَرُ مِنَ الْعَجَمِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اسْمَعُوا هَلْ سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ سَتَكُونُ بَعْدِي أُمَرَاءُ مَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَصَدَّقَهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَأَعَانَهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَلَسْتُ مِنْهُ وَلَيْسَ يَرِدُ عَلَىَّ الْحَوْضَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَلَمْ يُعِنْهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَهُوَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ وَسَيَرِدُ عَلَىَّ الْحَوْضَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of staying true to one's faith and not following rulers who are unjust. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was speaking to a group of nine people - four Arabs and five non-Arabs - when he said that whoever follows an unjust ruler will not be with him in the afterlife. He also said that those who do not follow such rulers will be with him in the afterlife. This hadith teaches us that it is important for us to stay true to our beliefs even if it means going against those in power or authority. We should always strive for righteousness and justice even if it means standing up against those in power or authority. It also reminds us that we should never compromise our beliefs just because someone else tells us otherwise or because we think it might benefit us in some way. In this way, we can ensure that we remain on the path of righteousness and justice throughout our lives.
