مسند احمد

724
Musnad Ahmed
Sahih (Darussalam), al-Bukhari (7257) and Muslim (1840)]
It was narrated from ‘Ali that
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent out an army and appointed a man in charge of them. He lit a fire and said: Enter it. Some people wanted to enter it, but others said: This is what we wanted to flee from. That was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said to those who had wanted to enter it: “If you had entered it you would have remained in it until the Day of Resurrection.” He said some kind words to the others, then he said: "There is no obedience in that which involves disobedience towards Allah; obedience is only with regard to that which is right and proper."
