Respect those with authority over you, obey reasonable orders from them.

This hadith teaches us that it is not appropriate for anyone to give instructions or orders unless they are in a position of authority. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that only those who have been appointed as rulers, put in charge, or are presumptuous should give instructions. Being presumptuous means thinking too highly of oneself and believing one has the right to do something without being asked or given permission. This hadith reminds us that we should respect those who have been given authority over us and follow their instructions if they are reasonable. We should also remember not to think too highly of ourselves and try to take control when it is not our place to do so.
