On 11th May 2007, in his Friday sermon from the holy city of Makkah, a few feet from the door of the Ka'bah, where the consciousness of the presence of Allah should be felt at heart, the leader of the congregation emphasised the need for being bound by an allegiance to an "Imam" (a ruler) even if he is vicious. He claimed that the Prophet has said, whoever dies without being bound by an allegiance to an "Imam" (a ruler), dies the death of ignorance.

Even if the "Imam" is unjust and tyrannical, the believers must obey him as Ibn Taymiyyah (the guru of the Wahhabis) has required. He said, they can advise the "Imam" and guide him!!!

Quoting Abdullah ibn Umar's hadiths in Sahih Muslim, he said that when people wanted to rise against Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah, he stopped them because the Prophet had prohibited breaking the pledge given to an "Imam". When a companion wanted to rise against Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah, in the incidence of Hurra, Abdullah ibn Umar warned him that pledges are not given to be broken and that he had heard the Prophet saying that if anyone dies without being bound by an allegiance, dies the death of ignorance.

Hence, according to the Wahhabite rationale, allegiance to Yazid was a requirement of the Shari'ah! The leader of the congregation did not explain, what would be the position of those who broke the allegiance given in Ghadir? He did not explain why didn't Abdullah ibn Umar remember these alleged hadiths of the Prophet when he himself did not pay oath of allegiance to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, but felt the need to pay allegiance to a corrupt, irreligious and fasiq ruler like Yazid, who was imposed on the Muslims by his father. He did not explain what about the widely narrated mutawatir hadith of the Prophet which says "there is no obedience to the creatures in disobedience to Allah"? He did not explain that in the incidence of Hurra many Companions of the Prophet in Madina were slaughtered and thousands of their virgin daughters were rapped by the troopers of Yazid. To remain indifferent to a massacre of such a magnitude was like writing off the religious values that the Messenger of Allah (SAWW) had brought. But this is precisely the leader of the congregation was advising the worshippers.
