Narrated Abu Huraira:
That heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “We are the last but will be the foremost to enter Paradise).” The
Prophet added, “He who obeys me, obeys Allah, and he who disobeys me, disobeys Allah. He who
obeys the chief, obeys me, and he who disobeys the chief, disobeys me. The Imam is like a shelter for
whose safety the Muslims should fight and where they should seek protection. If the Imam orders
people with righteousness and rules justly, then he will be rewarded for that, and if he does the op –
posite, he will be responsible for that.”

Al-Asfar is afraid of him.’ “

Narrated Asma:
I prepared the journey-food for Allah’s Apostle in Abu Bakr’s house when he intended to emigrate
to Medina. I could not find anything to tie the food-container and the water skin with. So, I said to
Abu Bakr, “By Allah, I do not find anything to tie (these things) with except my waist belt.” He said,
“Cut it into two pieces and tie the water-skin with one piece and the food-container with the other
(the sub-narrator added, “She did accordingly and that was the reason for calling her Dhatun-Nit –
aqain (i.e. two-belted woman)).”
