حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ الْحَضْرَمِىِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَأَلَ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْجُعْفِىُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ يَا نَبِىَّ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قَامَتْ عَلَيْنَا أُمَرَاءُ يَسْأَلُونَا حَقَّهُمْ وَيَمْنَعُونَا حَقَّنَا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فِى الثَّانِيَةِ أَوْ فِى الثَّالِثَةِ فَجَذَبَهُ الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ وَقَالَ « اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَا حُمِّلُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ مَا حُمِّلْتُمْ ».

It was narrated from 'Alqamah bin Wa'il Al-Hadrami that his father said: Salamah bin Yazid Al-Ju'fi asked the Messenger of Akkah (s.a.w): "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think, if there are appointed over us rulers who demand their rights and withhold our rights, what do you command us to do?" He turned away from him, then he asked him again and he turned away from him, then when he asked him the second or third time, Al-Ash'ath bin Qais pulled him aside and he said: "Listen and obey, for on them will be their burden and on you will be your burden."
