Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ السُّكَّرِيُّ أَنْبَأَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ الصَّفَّارُ ثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ التَّرْقُفِيُّ ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ صُبَيْحٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا مَرَرْتَ بِبَلْدَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا سُلْطَانٌ فَلَا تَدْخُلْهَا إِنَّمَا السُّلْطَانُ ظِلُّ اللهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَرُمْحُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ
English Translation
Narrations about the prohibition of rebellion against the Muslim ruler, even if he is unjust. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever sees something he dislikes from his ruler, let him be patient, for whoever separates from the community by even a hand's span and then dies, dies a death of ignorance."
