Does armed rebellion occur through fighting and speech?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does armed rebellion occur through fighting and speech?

The Shaykh : No, sin is not considered rebellion, but disparaging the ruler is considered rebellion. For this reason, some scholars mentioned that the first rebels were those who said to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
Be just, for you have not been just اعدل فإنك لم تعدل
. Disparaging the ruler is a type of rebellion against him, and in reality, it is rebellion. That is, exposing his faults, which causes people's hearts to hate this ruler. It is well known that war first arises from such things: speech, then it intensifies and intensifies, and then rebellion with the sword occurs. Even if the ruler were characterized by this, be patient and seek reward from Allah.
