Narrated Ali: The Prophet ﷺ sent an army unit for some campaign and appointed a man from the Ansar as its commander and ordered them the soldiers to obey him. During the campaign he became angry with them and said; Didnt the Prophet ﷺ order you to obey me? They said; Yes. He said; I order you to collect wood and make a fire and then throw yourselves into it. So they collected wood and made a fire; but when they were about to throw themselves into; it they started looking at each other; and some of them said; We followed the Prophet ﷺ to escape from the fire. How should we enter it now? So while they were in that state; the fire extinguished and their commander anger abated. The event was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ and he said; If they had entered it the fire they would never have come out of it; for obedience is required only in what is good. See Hadith No. 629. Vol. 5
