“The Muslim is obliged to obey (the ruler) whether he likes it
or
not, unless he is commanded to commit an act of disobedience. If he
is commanded to commit a sin then he should neither listen nor obey.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 24, Hadith 112

“Do I not have the right
that you should
listen to me and obey?” They said: “Yes.” He
said: “And if I command
you to do something, will you not do it?”
They said: “Of course.” He
said: “Then I command you to jump
into this fire.” Some people got up
and got ready to jump, and when
he saw that they were about to jump,
he said: “Restrain yourselves,
for I was joking with you.” When we
came to Al-Madinah, they
mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ), and the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: “Whoever among you commands you to do
something that involves
disobedience to Allah, do not obey him.”

“Among those in charge of you, after I am gone, will be men who
extinguish the Sunnah and follow innovation. They will delay the
prayer from its proper time.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, if I
live
to see them, what should I do?” He said: “You ask me, O Ibn
‘Abd, what
you should do? There is no obedience to one who disobeys
Allah.”
