“Whoever obeys, me obeys Allah and whoever disobeys me has disobeyed Allah. Whoever obeys the Amir obeys me and whoever disobeys the Amir disobeys me. The Imam alone is a shield behind whom they fight and are protected by. If he enjoins fear of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, and dispenses justice, there will be reward for him. If he enjoins otherwise, it will count against him.” [Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim]
