Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّ زِيَادًا اسْتَعْمَلَ الْحَكَمَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيَّ عَلَى خُرَاسَانَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ عِمْرَانُ يَتَمَنَّاهُ فَلَقِيَهُ بِالْبَابِ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ كَانَ يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ أَلْقَاكَ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا طَاعَةَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْحَكَمُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَكَبَّرَ عِمْرَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ.
English Translation
Abd al-Wahhab ibn Abd al-Majid al-Thaqafi narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Muhammad, that Ziyad appointed al-Hakam ibn Amr al-Ghifari as governor of Khurasan. Imran kept hoping to meet him, and he met him at the gate. He said: 'I have been wanting to meet you. Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: "There is no obedience in disobedience to Allah"?' Al-Hakam said: 'Yes.' Imran then said 'Allahu Akbar' (may Allah be pleased with him).
