Muhammad ibn ‘Abdur-Rahmaan ibn ‘Abbaas informed us, saying: Abul-Fadl Shu’ayb ibn Muhammad ibn Raajiyaan narrated to us, in the year 257H, saying: I heard Shu’ayb ibn Harb saying, “I said to Aboo ‘Abdullaah Sufyaan ibn Sa’eed ath-Thawree, ‘Narrate to me a saying from the Sunnah by which Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, will benefit me, so that when I stand in front of Allaah, the Blessed and Exalted, and He asks me concerning it’, saying, ‘From where did you take this?’ I will say, ‘O my Lord, Sufyaan ath-Thawree narrated this saying to me and I took it from him…’ so that I am saved and (then) you are questioned for it.’ So Sufyaan said, ‘O Shu’ayb, this is an assurance and what (other) assurance (can be better than this)? Write …
In the Name of Allaah, the Most-Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy.
The Qur’aan is the Word of Allaah. It is not created. It originated from Him and to Him it will return. Whoever says other than this is a disbeliever … O Shu’ayb, what you have written will not benefit you until you: … hold the necessity of patiently remaining under the flag (i.e. leadership) of the Ruler (sultaan) whether he is an oppressor or just.’ [Refer to Sharh Usoolul-I’tiqaad (7/1229-1233), Al-I’tiqaad of al-Bayhaqee (pp. 242-246) and As-Sunnah of Ibn Abee ‘Aasim (pp. 508-511)].

“Whoever spoke of [the obligation of] praying behind every righteous or sinful [leader], made jihad behind every leader, did not view [the permissibility] of revolting against the leader with the sword and supplicated for their rectification has departed from the statement of the Kharijites, from its beginning to its end.”

“And whoever revolts against a leader from among the leaders of the Muslims, after the people had agreed upon him and united themselves behind him, after they had affirmed the khilaafah for him, in whatever way this khilaafah may have been, by their pleasure and acceptance or by (his) force and domination [over them], then this revolter has disobeyed the Muslims, and has contradicted the narrations of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). And if the one who revolted against the ruler died he would have died the death of ignorance.
And the killing of the one in power is not lawful, and nor is it permissible for anyone amongst the people to revolt against him. Whoever does that is an innovator, (and is) upon other than the Sunnah and the [correct] path.”
