From Abu Najih 'Irbadh bin Sariyah (rodhiallahu' anhu) he said, "The Prophet Muhammad once advised us that throb with the advice and shed tears. We asked, O Messenger of Allah, it seems this is a parting advice, because it give us advice. He said, "I bequeath to you to maintain devotion to Allah 'aza wa Jalla, subject to obey (the leader) even if you are led by a slave (Ethiopia). Because the people who live after me will see many disputes. Let you hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah Khulafah Rasyidin who provided instructions (God). Hold firmly with the sunna molars and depart from the teachings of the new (in religion) because all innovation is misguidance. "(Reported by Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi).

Prophet Muhammad had predicted the state's people after the death of his later. There will be a huge dispute on the people of the Prophet Muhammad. Because he also told his companions intestate as a handle in the future. This will also apply to us, and all the people of the Prophet Muhammad. There are two wills Prophet Muhammad described by friends as thrilling and shed tears.

First, piety to God and submit to the leader. Devotion to God Almighty is the key provision, the main provision for Muslims. Anyone who follows the rules of God. Away from His prohibitions, and carry out His commandments. He would certainly have saved the world hereafter. Obedient to the leader to minimize discord. In the event of rebellion to the leader. Or vote of no confidence to the leaders. So the bloodshed can not be inevitable. History has recorded many such things.

It is also guaranteed by God, His Word, "O ye who believe, obey Allah and obey His Messenger, and ulil amri among you. Then if you are different opinions about something, refer it to Allah (Qur'an) and Prophet (Sunnah), if you truly believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is more mainstream (for you) and the better the outcome. " (An Nissa [4]: ​​59).

Second, firmly adhere to the sunna and the sunna Prophet Khulafah Rasyidin. As menggitnya with graham teeth. Here is how the Prophet Muhammad warned us he tuk uphold traditions. If we look at the verses which hinted to obey Allah SWT is always adjacent to obey His Messenger.

View (Ali Imran [2]: 32), (An Nisa [4]: ​​13, 14, 59, 80), (Al Anfaal [8]: 24, 46), (Al Maidah [5]: 92)

This shows how important it is to uphold the sunna Prophet Muhammad and menghidupakannnya. So is the sunna Khulafah Rasyidin. Four friends who we know as the first four caliphs. Known for his religious splendor and proficiency in the lead. Namely Abu Bakr As Shidiq, Umar ibn Khattab, Uthman ibn Affan, Ali ibn Abi Talib.

According to Imam Nawawi that is Khulafah Rasyidin are the four caliphs, namely: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali. Imam Ibn Daqil 'Eid also explained that they are the four caliphs were based on consensus. Ibn Taymiyyah in Minhaju As Sunnah An Nabawiyah, explaining that the Prophet Muhammad has told us about their leadership, "Caliphate after me lasted for thirty years. Abu Bakr held the government for 2 years, 10 years old Umar, Uthman and Ali 12 years 6 years ". And Allaah knows best-bish shawab.
