穆斯林有义务生活在一个国家之中，并由一位哈里发统治。世界上的穆斯林若拥有一个以上的国家、一位以上的哈里发，是被禁止的。

The Muslims are obliged to live in one State, and be ruled by one Khalifah. It is forbidden for the Muslims in the world to have more than one State and more than one Khalifah. .

在哈里发国家中，统治制度也必须是统一制度，禁止采用联邦制。

It is also necessary that the ruling system in the Khilafah State be a system of unity, and it is forbidden for it to be a federal system. .

这是由穆斯林（Muslim）引述阿卜杜拉·本·阿穆尔·本·阿斯（Abdullah b. Amru b. al-Aas）的传述而来，他报告说，他听到安拉的使者ﷺ说：

This is due to what Muslim narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. Amru b. al- Aas who reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) say: .

"谁与一位伊玛目订立效忠之约，把手交给他、把心中的诚意也献给他，就应当尽力服从他；如果另有人来与他争夺权位，你们就应当斩断后者的脖颈。"

"Whoever pledged allegiance to an Imam giving him the clasp of his hand and the fruit of his heart, he should obey him as much as he can, and if another comes to dispute with him, you must strike the neck of the latter". .

也有穆斯林记载,阿夫拉贾说:“我听到安拉的使者ﷺ说:”

It has also been narrated by Muslim that Afrajah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) say: .

"谁在你们的事务已经统一于一人之时前来，意图分裂你们的权力或瓦解你们的团结，就杀了他。”[穆斯林，《萨希哈》，第1844条]。

"Whoever comes to you while your affair has been united over one man, intending to divide your power or dissolve your unity, kill him".” [Muslim, Sahih, #1844] .

据穆斯林（Muslim）引述艾卜·赛义德·胡德里（Abu Said Al Khudri）的记载，真主的使者ﷺ说：

It has also been reported by Muslim from Abu Said Al Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) said: .

"如果为两位哈里发宣誓效忠（拜亚）已经完成，就杀掉后者。"[穆斯林，《萨希赫》，第1853则]

"If the Oath of Allegiance (bayah) has been taken for two Khalifahs, kill the latter of them." [Muslim, Sahih, #1853] .

穆斯林还记载：艾布·哈齐姆说：“我陪伴艾布·胡莱赖五年，听他讲述先知ﷺ的圣训：”

Muslim also reported that Abu Hazim said, “I accompanied Abu Huraira for five years and heard him talking about the Prophet’s (P.B.U.H) saying: .

以色列的后裔曾由众先知治理;每当一位先知去世,便有另一位先知接替他;但我之后不会再有先知。不久将会有哈里发出现,而且人数众多。他们问道:那么您命令我们怎么做呢?ﷺ

"The children of Israel have been governed by Prophet; whenever a Prophet died another Prophet succeeded him; but there will be no Prophet after me. There will soon be Khulafaa and they will number many; they asked: What then do you order us? .

他(愿主福安之)说:“你们要依次履行对他们的盟约,把他们应得的权利给予他们;因为真主必定会就他所托付给他们的事务向他们问责。”[布哈里,《沙希赫》,#3455]

He (P.B.U.H) said: Fulfil allegiance to them one after the other, and give them their dues; for verily Allah will ask them about what he entrusted them with".”[Bukhari, Sahih, #3455] ..

第一段圣训表明，如果伊玛姆（哈里发）的职位已经授予某人，就应当服从他；如果另有人前来争夺他的权威，那么，若此人不放弃争夺，就应当与之作战，直至将其杀死。

The first hadith demonstrates that if the Imamah (Khilafah) has been given to someone he should be obeyed, and if another man comes to dispute his authority, he should be fought and killed if he did not renounce the dispute. .

第二段圣训表明,当穆斯林在一位埃米尔的领导下团结一致时,若有人企图分裂他们的力量、瓦解他们的团结,则杀死此人成为必须之事。这两段圣训明确指出禁止肢解国家,严厉警告不得分裂国家,并阻止任何分离的企图,即使这意味着要诉诸武力。

The second hadith demonstrates that when the Muslims are united under the leadership of one Amir, and a person comes along with the intent to divide their power and dissolve their unity, his killing becomes compulsory. The two hadiths clearly indicate prohibition of dismembering the State, the strong warning against its division, and preventing any breakaway attempt even if it means raising the sword (force). .

第三条圣训表明，当哈里发因死亡、被罢免或辞职而缺位，并且向两位哈里发宣誓效忠时，后被宣誓效忠者应当被处死。这意味着，哈里发是第一个获得效忠宣誓的人，而在第一个之后获得效忠宣誓的人，如果不退出哈里发之位，就必须被处死。如果效忠宣誓的对象超过两人，那么除第一个获得效忠宣誓的人之外，所有人都必须被讨伐并处死，除非他们撤回了效忠宣誓。这清楚地说明，国家的分裂是被禁止的，也就是说，将其分割成小国是被禁止的；国家必须保持为一个统一的国家。

The third hadith indicates that in the case of the absence of a Khalifah, due to death, removal or resignation, and the contracting of the bayah to two Khulafaa, the latter of them should be killed. This means the Khalifah is he who was given the first bayah, whilst the one that who was given the bayah after the first must be killed if he does not withdraw himself from Khilafah post. If the bayah was taken to more than two, then all those, except the first person given the bayah must be fought and killed unless they withdrew from the bayah. This clearly demonstrates that the dismembering of the State is forbidden, which means that turning it into small Statelets is forbidden; it must remain one single State. .

第四条圣训表明,在先知(愿主赐福他并使他平安)之后,哈里发将会很多。圣门弟子问他,当哈里发众多时他命令他们做什么,他回答说,他们应当先向最早效忠的那位哈里发履行效忠,依次而行,因为他才是合法的,唯有他应当被服从。至于其他人,则不应被服从,因为他们的效忠是无效、无价值且不合法的,因为在已有哈里发在位的情况下,给另一位哈里发宣誓效忠是被禁止的。这条圣训还表明,服从唯一一位哈里发是必须的。因此,穆斯林同时拥有一位以上的哈里发、以及一个以上的国家,是被禁止的。

The fourth hadith indicates that the Khulafaa would number many after the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) and that the Sahabah asked him about what he ordered them to do when the Khulafaa numbered many, and he replied that they should fulfil their allegiance to the Khulafaa one after the other, starting by the first one they gave their bayah to, for he would be the legitimate one and he alone should be obeyed. As for the others, they are not to be obeyed for their bayah is void and null and unlawful, for it is forbidden for another Khalifah to be given a bayah while there exists a Khalifah already in office. This hadith also indicates that obedience to a single Khalifah is obligatory. Therefore it is forbidden for the Muslims to have more than one Khalifah and more than one single State.
