A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالق

?

Answer:
It is all authentic; the hadith is authentic
Obedience is in matters which are good and universally recognized.إنما الطاعة في المعروف
Sunan Abi Dawud 2625Sahih (Al-Albani)
A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالق
Mishkat al-Masabih 3696
Therefore, it is not permissible to obey the father, or the husband, the prince, or the sultan in sins against Allah. If the sultan, or the prince, or his father, or the husband says to the wife, “Drink intoxicants,” he does not obey him in that.

Question: Other than drinking intoxicants, if he says, “Shave your beard”?

Answer: Or if he says, “Shave your beard,” or “Insult your father,” or “Insult your mother,” or “Do not obey your father,” or “Do not obey your mother,” all of this… he does not obey him in that, or “Do not pray in congregation.”
