Narrated Ali: The Prophet ﷺ sent a Sariya under the command of a man from the Ansar and ordered the soldiers to obey him. He i.e. the commander became angry and said Didnt the Prophet ﷺ order you to obey me! They replied; Yes. He said; Collect fire-wood for me. So they collected it. He said; Make a fire. When they made it; he said; Enter it i.e. the fire. So they intended to do that and started holding each other and saying; We run towards i.e. take refuge with the Prophet ﷺ from the fire. They kept on saying that till the fire was extinguished and the anger of the commander abated. When that news reached the Prophet ﷺ he said; If they had entered it i.e. the fire ; they would not have come out of it till the Day of Resurrection. Obedience to somebody is required when he enjoins what is good.
