Sahih Muslim Hadith 4804 – The Best And

English

[4804] 65 – (1855) It was narrated from 'Awf bin Mâlik that the Messenger of Allah 14 said: "The best of your rulers are those whom you love and they love you, who invoke blessings upon you and you invoke blessings upon them. The worst of your rulers are those whom you hate and they hate you, and you invoke curses upon them and they invoke curses upon you." It was said: "0 Messenger of Allah, should we not fight them with the sword?" He said: "No, not so long as they establish prayer among you. But if you see something in your rulers that you dislike, then hate their deeds, but do not withdraw your hand from obedience to them."
