Sunan Abi Dawud 5215 (Book 43, Hadith 443) #25506
Showing Respect to Authority

SUMMARY: Respect should be shown to those in authority.

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri said: When Banu Quraizah capitulated agreeing to accept Sa’d’s judgement, the Prophet sent a messenger to him. When he came riding on a white ass, the prophet said: stand up to (show respect to) your chief, or he said : "to the best of you". He came and sat beside the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him).
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ أَهْلَ، قُرَيْظَةَ لَمَّا نَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمِ سَعْدٍ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ فَجَاءَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ أَقْمَرَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ قُومُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ ‏"‏ إِلَى خَيْرِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَجَاءَ حَتَّى قَعَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about showing respect and obedience to those in authority. It is narrated by Abu Said al-Khudri, who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The story tells of when Banu Quraizah capitulated and agreed to accept Sads judgement, the Prophet ﷺ sent a messenger riding on a white ass. He asked everyone present to stand up and show respect for their chief or leader, which they did. This hadith teaches us that we should always show respect for those in positions of authority, such as our parents or teachers, as well as leaders in our communities and countries. We should also obey them unless they ask us to do something that goes against Islamic teachings or laws.
