(1) CHAPTER. The Statement of Allah: “(O you who believe!) Obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad (p.b.u.h.)) and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority… (V.4:59)
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, Whoever obeys me, obeys Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah, and whoever obeys the ruler I appoint, obeys me, and whoever disobeys him, disobeys me.
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Apostle said, Surely! Everyone of you is a guardian and is responsible for his charges: The Imam (ruler) of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; a man is the guardian of his family (household) and is responsible for his subjects; a woman is the guardian of her husband's home and of his children and is responsible for them; and the slave of a man is a guardian of his master's property and is responsible for it. Surely, everyone of you is a guardian and responsible for his charges.
