that he heard Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) 3 saying " We are the last but will be the foremost (to enter Paradise)." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "He who obeys me, obeys Allâh, and he who disobeys me, disobeys Allâh. He who obeys the Muslim chief, obeys me, and he who disobeys the Muslim chief, disobeys me. The Imâm is like a shelter for whose safety the Muslims should fight and where they should seek protection. If the Imâm orders people to be dutiful to Allâh and fear Him and rules justly, then he will be rewarded for that, and if he does the opposite, he will be responsible for that." [4:204-O.B]
