服从统治者的义务中，有一项被排除在外的情况，即他命令犯罪。这一排除已有经文确证。Nafi’ 转述，Ibnu ‘Umar 说，真主的使者ﷺ说：“穆斯林有义务听从并服从（统治者），无论他喜欢与否，除非他命令做罪恶之事。若他命令做罪恶之事，穆斯林既不应听从，也不应服从。”[穆斯林辑录] 这里所讨论的，是统治者命令穆斯林犯罪的情形，并不涉及统治者本身有罪的问题。如果统治者在你面前犯了罪，但并未命令你去犯，你仍然须服从他。穆斯林辑录，‘Awf Ibnu Malik Al-Ashjai’ 转述，他说：“我听到真主的使者ﷺ说……”

One matter that has been excluded from the obligation of obeying the ruler is when He orders a sin. This exclusion has been confirmed by text. Nafi’ reported on the authority of Ibnu ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said; “It is obligatory upon a Muslim that He should listen and obey whether He likes it or not, except when He is ordered to commit a sinful act. If He is ordered to do a sinful act, a Muslim should neither listen nor obey.” [Narrated by Muslim] The subject being addressed here is the case of a ruler ordering a Muslim to commit sin. It does not address the issue of a ruler being sinful. If the ruler committed the sin before you, without ordering you to commit it, you still have to obey him. Muslim reported on the authority of ‘Awf Ibnu Malik Al- Ashjai’, He said; “I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say:

“你们最好的伊玛目，是你们爱他们、他们也爱你们，你们为他们祈祷、他们也为你们祈祷的人；你们最差的伊玛目，是你们恨他们、他们也恨你们，你们诅咒他们、他们也诅咒你们的人。” 我们问道：“安拉的使者啊，那我们是否可以起兵反对他们呢？”他（愿主赐福他并使他平安）说：“不可以，只要他们在你们中间维持拜功。要注意！谁的上级被任命管理他，而他看见上级犯了违抗安拉的行为，他应当憎恶上级违抗安拉的行为，但不应从顺从中撤手。” 这段圣训证明，所谓命令犯罪，是指统治者下达违抗安拉的命令本身，而非指统治者亲自去犯罪。如果看见统治者自己犯罪，违抗他并不合法；但如果他命令某人违抗安拉，那么就不应服从他，因为在违抗造物主的事上，对任何受造者都没有服从可言。
