We were told by Ahmad ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Wahb ibn Muslim, who said: we were told by my paternal uncle ʿAbdullah ibn Wahb, who said: we were told by ʿAmr ibn al-Harith, who said: Bukayr told me, from Busr ibn Saʿid, from Junada ibn Abi Umayya, who said: We visited ʿUbada ibn al-Samit while he was ill, and we said: “Tell us, may Allah set you right, a hadith by which Allah may benefit us, one that you heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.” He said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, called us and we pledged allegiance to him. Among what he took from us was that we pledged to him upon hearing and obedience, in our ease and in our hardship, in our comfort and in our distress, and even when others are preferred over us, and that we would not dispute the authority of those in charge. He said: “Unless you see clear disbelief, for which you have from Allah clear proof.”
