4.20 乌玛(穆斯林共同体)无权罢免哈里发。
4.20 The Ummah does not reserve the right to remove the Khaleefah
尽管乌玛(穆斯林共同体)是任命哈里发并向其效忠宣誓(拜亚)的一方,但一旦按照伊斯兰教法(沙里亚)完成了拜亚,乌玛便无权罢免他(即解除其职务)。
Although the Ummah is the one who appoints the Khaleefah and gives him the Bay’ah, yet once the Bay’ah has been convened according to Shar’, the Ummah does not have the right to remove him (from office).

Al-Bukhari narrated from Ibnu ‘Abbas who said that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:
“如果有人在他的埃米尔(Ameerihi)身上看到某些令他不悦的事,他应当忍耐。因为,凡与统治者(Sultan,即权威)分离哪怕一掌之距,并以此状死去的人,他是以蒙昧时代(Jahiliyyah)的方式死去。”“Ameerihi”一词在这段圣训中是泛指的,因此它包括哈里发在内,因为他是信士们的埃米尔。穆斯林(Muslim)引述艾卜·胡莱赖(Abu Hurayra)的传述说:安拉的使者ﷺ曾说:
