The proof for following the Messenger #1 – The Messenger ordains what Allah ordains

The Messenger of Allah (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) said :

“Oh people, I swear by Allah, I only order you with what Allah ordered you with and I only prohibit you what Allah prohibited you with, so be good in seeking sustenance, I swear the one whose hand the soul of Abul Qasim is in, sustenance seeks you just as death seeks you. If you find something hat is difficult then find it by obeying Allah.”
