عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: «مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ، وَفَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَمَاتَ، مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً، وَمَنْ قَاتَلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةٍ عِمِّيَّةٍ، يَغْضَبُ لِعَصَبَةٍ، أَوْ يَدْعُو إِلَى عَصَبَةٍ، أَوْ يَنْصُرُ عَصَبَةً، فَقُتِلَ، فَقِتْلَةٌ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ، وَمَنْ خَرَجَ عَلَى أُمَّتِي، يَضْرِبُ بَرَّهَا وَفَاجِرَهَا، وَلَا يَتَحَاشَى مِنْ مُؤْمِنِهَا، وَلَا يَفِي لِذِي عَهْدٍ عَهْدَهُ، فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَلَسْتُ مِنْهُ».
Imepokewa kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- kutoka kwa Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- amesema: "Atakayejitoa katika utiifu, na akasambaratisha umoja akafa, atakuwa amekufa kifo cha zama za ujinga, na atakayepigana chini ya bendera kibubusa anachukia kwa sababu ya ndugu zake, au akahamasisha katika (kupendelea kwa sababu ya) udugu, au ana nusuru udugu, akauwawa, basi hicho ni kifo cha zama za ujinga, na atakayejitoa katika umma wangu, akimpiga mwema wake na muovu wake, na wala hajali muumini wake, na wala hamtimizii mwenye ahadi ahadi yake, basi huyo si miongoni mwangu na mimi si miongoni mwake".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever gives up obedience and isolates from the community and dies has died a death like that of jāhiliyyah (the pre-Islamic era of ignorance). Whoever fights under a blind banner, getting flared up for his people's pride, calling to fight for the sake of his people's pride or in support of his people's pride, and gets killed, his killing is like that of jāhiliyyah. Whoever revolts against my Ummah, killing the righteous and the wicked of them, not avoiding the believers among them and not fulfilling a covenant with those with whom he has made covenants, he does not belong to me, and I do not belong to him."
Kuwatii viongozi ni wajibu katika mambo yasiyomuasi Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu.
Kuna tahadhari kubwa kwa aliyetoka katika utiifu kwa kiongozi, na akasambaratisha umoja wa waislamu, akifa katika hali hii, atakuwa amekufa katika njia ya watu wajinga.
Katika hadithi kuna katazo la kupigana vita kwa sababu ya ubaguzi.
Ulazima wa kutimiza makubaliano.
Katika utiifu na kushikamana na umoja kuna heri nyingi, na amani na utulivu, na hali kutengamaa.
Katazo la kujifananisha na watu zama za ujinga.
Amri ya kushikamana na umoja wa waislamu.
