穆斯林有义务生活在一个国家之中，并由一位哈里发统治。世界上的穆斯林拥有多于一个国家或多于一位哈里发，是被禁止的。

The Muslims are obliged to live in one state, and be ruled by one Khaleefah. It is forbidden for the Muslims in the world to have more than one state and more than one Khaleefah.

在哈里发国家中，统治制度也必须是统一制，而禁止采用联合制（即邦国联邦制）。

It is also necessary that the ruling system in the Khilafah State be a system of unity, and forbidden to be a system of union (federation of states).

这是因为穆斯林（圣训学家）所传述的：‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amru ibn al-‘Aas 说，他听到真主的使者ﷺ说：

This is due to what Muslim narrated that ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amru ibn al- ’Aas said that He heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say:

“谁向一位伊玛目宣誓效忠，给了他手上的相握和内心的果实，他就应当尽其所能地服从他；如果另有人前来与他争夺权位，你们就该砍掉后者的脖子。”穆斯林也有记载，阿尔法贾说：“我听见安拉的使者ﷺ说：……”

“Whoever pledged allegiance to an Imam giving him the clasp of his hand and the fruit of his heart, He should obey him as long as He can, and if another comes to dispute with him, you must strike the neck of the latter.” It has also been narrated by Muslim that Arfajah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say:

“凡在你们的事务已经统一于一人之时，有人前来，意图分裂你们的权力或瓦解你们的团结，你们就杀了他。”穆斯林也从艾卜·赛义德·胡德里传述，先知ﷺ说：

‘Whoever comes to you while your affair has been united over one man, intending to divide your power or dissolve your unity, kill him.’” Muslim has also reported it from Abu S’aid Al Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:

“如果为两位哈里发宣誓效忠（Bay’ah），就杀掉后一位。”穆斯林（Muslim）记载，艾布·哈齐姆（Abu Hazim）说：“我陪伴艾布·胡莱赖（Abu Hurayra）五年，听他讲述安拉的使者ﷺ。”

“If the Oath of Allegiance (Bay’ah) has been taken for two Khulafaa’, kill the latter of them.” Muslim reported that Abu Hazim said: “I accompanied Abu Hurayra for five years and heard him talking about the Messenger of Allah (pbuh).

他说：“以色列的后裔一直由众先知治理；每当一位先知去世，便有另一位先知接替他；但我之后不会再有先知。将来会有哈里发，而且人数众多。”他们问道：“那么您命令我们怎么做？”他（愿主赐福于他）说：“你们要依次效忠他们，并把他们应得的权利交给他们；因为真主必定会就他们所受托的事务问责他们。”这第一段圣训表明：如果伊玛目（哈里发）之位已授予某人，就应当服从他；如果另有人前来争夺他的权威，那么，若此人不肯收回主张，就应当与之作战并将其杀死。

He said: ‘The children of Israel have been governed by Prophets; whenever a Prophet died another Prophet succeeded him; but there will be no prophet after me. There will soon be Khulafaa’ and they will number many’, they asked, ‘what then do you order us?’ He (pbuh) said, ‘Fulfil allegiance to them one after the other, and give them their dues; for verily Allah will ask them about what He entrusted them with.’” The first Hadith demonstrates that if the Imamah (Khilafah) has been given to someone He should be obeyed, and if another man comes to dispute his authority, He should be fought and killed if He did not withdraw the claim.

第二段圣训表明,当穆斯林在一位埃米尔的领导下团结一致时,若有人企图分裂他们的权力、瓦解他们的团结,杀死此人便成为必须之事。这两段圣训明确表明禁止肢解国家,并严厉警告不得使其分裂,即使以刀剑(武力)也要阻止任何分离的企图。

The second Hadith demonstrates that when the Muslims are united under the leadership of one Ameer, and a person comes along with intent to divide their power and dissolve their unity, his killing becomes compulsory. The two Ahadith clearly indicate prohibition of dismembering the state, and strong warning against its division, and preventing any breakaway attempt even by using the sword (force).

第三条圣训表明：若哈里发因死亡、被罢免或辞职而缺位，而且已有两位哈里发接受了效忠（Bay'ah），那么后者应当被处死；若效忠者超过两人，则更应如此。这清楚地说明，分裂国家是被禁止的，也就是说，把它分成多个国家是被禁止的，国家必须保持为一个统一的国家。

The third Hadith indicates that in the case of the absence of a Khaleefah, due to his death, removal or resignation, then if the Bay’ah has been taken for two Khulafaa’, the latter of them should be killed, and the more so if they were more than two. This clearly demonstrates that the dismembering of the state is forbidden, which means that turning it into many states is forbidden, rather it must remain one single state.

第四段圣训表明，在先知穆罕默德ﷺ之后，哈里发将会有许多位。当圣门弟子问他，哈里发人数众多时，他命令他们应当怎样做，他回答说，他们应当依次履行对哈里发的效忠誓约。他们应从他们最先效忠宣誓的那一位开始，因为他才是合法的，只能服从他一人。至于其他人，不应服从，因为他们的效忠誓约无效且不合法。这是因为，在一位哈里发在位的情况下，禁止再给另一位哈里发宣誓效忠。这段圣训还表明，服从唯一一位哈里发是必须的。因此，穆斯林不得同时拥有一位以上的哈里发，也不得同时存在一个以上的国家。

The fourth Hadith indicates that the Khulafaa’ would number many after the Messenger of Allah (pbuh).When the Sahabah asked him about what He ordered them to do when the Khulafaa’ numbered many, He replied that they should fulfil their allegiance to the Khulafaa’ one after the other. They start by the first one they gave their Bay’ah to, for He would be the legitimate one and He alone should be obeyed. As for the others, they are not to be obeyed for their Bay’ah is null and void as well as unlawful. This is because it is forbidden for another Khaleefah to be given a Bay’ah while there exists a Khaleefah already in office. This Hadith also indicates that obedience to a single Khaleefah is obligatory. Therefore it is forbidden for the Muslims to have more than one Khaleefah and more than one single state.
