Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ أَيُّوبُ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ زِيَادًا اسْتَعْمَلَ الْحَكَمَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيَّ فَقَالَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أَلْقَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ قَالَ فَلَقِيَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عِمْرَانُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَوَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا طَاعَةَ لِأَحَدٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَذَاكَ الَّذِي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ لَكَ.
English Translation
'Abd al-Razzaq told us, Ma'mar informed us, from more than one of them -- Ayyub, from Ibn Sirin: that Ziyad appointed al-Hakam ibn 'Amr al-Ghifari. 'Imran ibn Husayn said, "I wish I could meet him before he leaves." He said: So he met him, and 'Imran said to him, "Do you not know, or did you not hear the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say, 'There is no obedience to anyone in disobedience to Allah, Blessed and Exalted'?" He said, "Yes indeed." He said, "That is what I wanted to say to you."
