Al-Hasan disse sobre os governantes: "Eles assumem a responsabilidade por cinco dos nossos assuntos: a sexta-feira e a oração em congregação [jam/tab], o ʿEid, as fronteiras e os castigos. Por Allah! A religião só será reta e eficaz por meio deles, ainda que sejam tiranos e opressores. Por Allah! Aquilo que Allah endireita por meio deles é mais do que aquilo que eles corrompem, embora, por Allah! a obediência a eles seja difícil, mas separar-se deles é kufr."
Al-Khallal narrou no "Kitab al-Imarah – Livro dos Emirados" a partir do hadith de Abu Umamah que ele disse: "O Profeta ﷺ ordenou aos seus companheiros, quando haviam feito a oração de Ṭhuhr: 'Reúnam-se, porque tenho necessidade de vocês.' Quando terminaram a oração da manhã, ele perguntou: 'Vocês se reuniram como eu disse?' Eles responderam: 'Sim.' Ele disse três vezes: 'Adorem Allah e não associem nada a Ele! Compreenderam isto?' Respondemos: 'Sim.' Ele disse três vezes: 'Estabeleçam a oração e paguem o zakah. Compreenderam isto?' Respondemos: 'Sim.' Ele disse três vezes: 'Ouçam e obedeçam!' Ele disse três vezes: 'Compreenderam isto?'" Ele disse: "Pensávamos que o Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ faria um longo discurso, mas então [vimos que] ele havia reunido para nós todo o assunto."

Al-Hasan said about amirs, “They take charge of five of our affairs: the ]umucah and the congregational prayer [jam/tab], the cEid, the frontiers, and the ^^punishm ents. By Allah! the deen will only be straight and effective by them, even if they arc tyrannical and wrongdoing. By Allah! that which Allah pill.s right by means of them is more than that which they corrupt, although, by Allah! obedience to them is tough, but separating oneself from them is kufr.” Al-Khalal narrated in the “Kitab al-Imarah -Book of Ami rate" from the hadith of Abu Umamah that he said, “The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, commanded his companions when they had prayed Tsha’, ‘Assemble, because I have need of you.’ When they finished the morning prayer, he asked, ‘Have you assembled as I told you?’ They answered, ‘Yes.’ He said three times, ‘Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him! Have you grasped this?’ We answered, ‘Yes.’ He said three times, ‘Establish the prayer and produce the zakah\ Have you grasped this?’ We answered, ‘Yes.’ He said three times, ‘Hear and obey!’ He said three times, ‘Have you grasped this?’” He said, “We had thought that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was going to give a long discourse, but then [we saw] that he had collected together the entire affair for us.” (Ibn Rajab al-Hanbalij/^m/'1 al-ulum wa’l-hikam translated by Abdassamad Clarke and published by Turath Publishing Ltd., as The Compendium (of knowledge and wisdom).
