This concept is articulated in a Hadith from the collection of Abu Muslim. “The Messenger of Allah called us and we took the oath of allegiance to him. Among the injunctions that he made binding upon us were: That we would listening to and be obedient to the Ruler (Emir) in both our pleasure and displeasure, in both our adversity and prosperity—even when somebody is given preference over us, without ever disputing the powers delegated to the man duly invested with them. Obedience shall be accorded to him in all circumstances, except when you have clear signs of his disbelief in (or disobedience to) God-signs that could be used as a conscientious justification for non-compliance with his orders.”

4 The 12 Tribes of Ishmael,” Nabataea.net. Esarhaddon tells us that, in his attempt to subdue the Arabs, his father, Sennacherib, struck against their capital, Adummatu, which he called t
he stronghold of the Arabs. Sennacherib captured their king, Kaza’il, who was called “King of the Arabs”. In one inscription of Ashurbanipal, Kaza’il is referred to as “King of the Kedarites”. From a geographical standpoint, Adummatu is often associated with the medieval Arabic Dumat el-Jandal, which was, in ancient times, a very important and strategic junction on the major trade route between Syria, Babylon, Najd and the Hijaz area. Dumat el Jandal is at the Southeastern end of Al Jawf, which is a desert basin, and often denotes the entire lower region of Wadi as Sirhan, the famous depression situated halfway between Syria and Mesopotamia. This area has water, and was a stop over for caravan traders traveling from Tayma, to Syria or Babylonia. This strategic location effectively made Dumah the entrance to north Arabia. This oasis was the center of rule for many north Arabian kings and queens, as related in Assyrian records.
