Al-Kāfi - The Book - Garden (of Flowers) Chapter: Allah does not make obedience to ‘Ulil ‘Amr obligatory, than allow to oppose them عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠َرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ ٠ُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ تَلَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلا٠) أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَ أُولِي الْأَ٠ْ تَنَازُعاً فِي الْأَ٠ْرِ فَأَرْجِعُوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَ إِلَى أُولِي الْأَ٠َّ قَالَ كَيْفَ يَأْ٠ْ وَ يُرَخِّصُ فِي ٠َا قَالَ ذَلِكَ لِلْ٠ُورِينَ الَّذِينَ قِيلَ لَهُ٠ْ أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ.

Then said: ‘How can He (azwj) Command for their (asws) obedience and then allow them (the people) to dispute with them (asws). But rather, He (azwj) has Said that to the Commanded ones when He (azwj) Said to them (the people): “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger”. حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/76)) يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi)
