The reciter: Haddathana Hudayb ibn Khalid al-Azdi, Haddathana Hammam ibn Yahya, Haddathana Qatadah, from al-Hasan, from Dhabbah ibn Mahsan, from Umm Salama, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1854a.
The Shaykh : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) divided the rulers, regarding whom we recognize [the good] and deny [the evil] in relation to their subjects, into three categories. He divided the subjects, not the rulers, into three categories: First, the one who recognizes [the good] but does not follow them; this person is free from what they are upon of evil, but it is possible that he is safe and it is possible that he is not safe. And the one who denies [the evil] is safe. As for the one who is pleased [with the evil] and follows [them], he is like them. Then they asked: Should we fight them? He said: No, as long as they pray. That is to say, as long as they pray, do not fight them. If you combine this hadith with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 7055, 7056, it becomes clear to you that the one who abandons prayer is a disbeliever. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) prohibited fighting these oppressors as long as they pray. It is known from this that if they do not pray, they are to be fought. And it is known from the other hadith that we do not fight them unless we see clear disbelief from us, with proof from Allah in it.
This hadith is added to the evidence of those who say that the one who abandons prayer is a disbeliever, as is the truth by the indication of the Book and the Sunnah, and the consensus of the Companions on that. The grammatical parsing of "as long as they pray": "ma" is a temporal particle for a verbal noun, and the estimation is: for the duration of their prayer. That is to say, as long as they pray, do not fight them, even if they do what they do of sins.
In the near future there will be Amirs and you will like their good deeds and dislike their bad deeds. One who sees through their bad deeds (and tries to prevent their repetition by his band or through his speech), is absolved from blame, but one who hates their bad deeds (in the heart of his heart, being unable to prevent their recurrence by his hand or his tongue), is (also) fafe ( so far as God's wrath is concerned). But one who approves of their bad deeds and imitates them is spiritually ruined. People asked (the Holy Prophet): Shouldn't we fight against them? He replied: No, as long as they say their prayers.
سَتَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ فَتَعْرِفُونَ وَتُنْكِرُونَ، فَمَنْ عَرَفَ بَرِئَ، وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ سَلِمَ، وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ. قَالُوا : أَفَلَا نُقَاتِلُهُمْ؟ قَالَ : لَا، مَا صَلَّوْاThe Shaykh : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) divided the rulers, regarding whom we recognize [the good] and deny [the evil] in relation to their subjects, into three categories. He divided the subjects, not the rulers, into three categories: First, the one who recognizes [the good] but does not follow them; this person is free from what they are upon of evil, but it is possible that he is safe and it is possible that he is not safe. And the one who denies [the evil] is safe. As for the one who is pleased [with the evil] and follows [them], he is like them. Then they asked: Should we fight them? He said: No, as long as they pray. That is to say, as long as they pray, do not fight them. If you combine this hadith with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
unless we noticed him having open Kufr (disbelief) for which we would have a proof with us from Allah
