حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ، حُجْرٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ أَيُّوبَ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ - أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ كُنَّا نُبَايِعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ يَقُولُ لَنَا ‏ "‏ فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of obeying and listening to the orders of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. 'Umar that they used to take an oath to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that they would listen and obey his orders, with a condition that it lies within their power. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive our best in following what Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has taught us, even if we are not able to fulfill all his commands due to our limited capabilities or resources. We should also remember that obedience towards Allah SWT comes first before anything else, so if there is ever a conflict between obeying Allah SWT or His messenger, then we must prioritize obeying Allah SWT over His messenger.
