حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ عَنْ تَشَهُّدِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ " وَمَنْ يَعْصِهِمَا فَقَدْ غَوَى " . وَنَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ رَبَّنَا أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِمَّنْ يُطِيعُهُ وَيُطِيعُ رَسُولَهُ وَيَتَّبِعُ رِضْوَانَهُ وَيَجْتَنِبُ سَخَطَهُ فَإِنَّمَا نَحْنُ بِهِ وَلَهُ .
Ibn Shihab Narrated from:
Yunus asked Ibn Shihab about the address of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on Friday. He mentioned it in like manner. He added: Anyone who disobeys them (Allah and His Apostle) goes astray. We beseech Allah, our Lord, to make us from those who obey Him and obey His Apostle, and follow what He likes, and abstain from His anger; we are due to Him and we belong to Him.

This Hadith is a report from Ibn Shihab about the Friday address of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم. It follows the same meaning as the previous address and adds that whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle goes astray. It then includes a supplication asking Allah to make us among those who obey Him, obey His Messenger, follow what He likes, and stay away from His anger. The core topic is obedience. The main search phrase is obey Allah and His Messenger hadith. The wording is direct and personal.
