Allah does not make obedience to ‘Ulil ‘Amr obligatory, than allow to oppose them
1 hadithعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ تَلَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ تَنَازُعاً فِي الْأَمْرِ فَأَرْجِعُوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَ إِلَى أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَيْفَ يَأْمُرُ بِطَاعَتِهِمْ وَ يُرَخِّصُ فِي مُنَازَعَتِهِمْ إِنَّمَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ لِلْمَأْمُورِينَ الَّذِينَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ.
212. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Uman Bin Azina, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya who said, ‘Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام recited “[4:59] O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you; then if you quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, and to the Guardian عليه الصلاة والسلام of the Command among you (Ul-Al-Amr)”. Then said: ‘How can He عز وجل Command for their عليه الصلاة والسلام obedience and then allow them (the people) to dispute with them عليه الصلاة والسلام. But rather, He عز وجل has Said that to the Commanded ones when He عز وجل Said to them (the people): “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger”.
