Follow instructions from leaders humbly and faithfully

When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ became ill, he instructed his companions to ask Abu Bakr to lead the prayer in his place. Aisha objected because she thought that Abu Bakr was too soft-hearted for such a task. However, the Prophet ﷺ insisted that they should still ask him and reminded them of their connection with Joseph by saying “You are the companions of Joseph”. This shows us how important it is for us as Muslims to follow instructions from our leaders even if we don’t understand why they are asking us something or if we think someone else would be better suited for a task. It also teaches us about loyalty and faithfulness towards our leaders as well as being humble enough to accept their decisions even if we disagree with them.
