Sahih Muslim 1498a (Book 19, Hadith 19) #10894
Listening to Advice in Difficult Situations

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised Sa'd b. 'Ubada al-Ansari to listen to the advice of his chief instead of taking matters into his own hands when he found his wife with another person.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Sa'd b. 'Ubada al-Ansari said: Messenger of Allah, tell me if a man finds his wife with another person, should he kill him? Allah's Messenger said: #Sa'd said: Why not? I swear by Him Who has honored you with the Truth. There upon Allah's Messenger said: Listen to what your chief says.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، - يَعْنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ - عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يَجِدُ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً أَيَقْتُلُهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ لاَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سَعْدٌ بَلَى وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ بِالْحَقِّ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ اسْمَعُوا إِلَى مَا يَقُولُ سَيِّدُكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of listening to advice in difficult situations. In this hadith, Sa'd b. 'Ubada al-Ansari asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) if a man should kill someone if he finds his wife with another person, and the Prophet advised him to listen to what his chief says instead of taking matters into his own hands. This teaches us that it is important for us not only to seek advice from those who are wise but also take their advice seriously and act on it rather than making rash decisions in difficult situations which could lead us astray or cause harm or distress for others. It also teaches us that we should respect our elders and those who are wiser than us, as they can provide valuable guidance when we need it most.
