Is what I said concerning the ruling on revolting against the unjust ruler who governs by Sharia, and the ruling on revolting against rulers who govern by man-made laws, correct Islamically?
What the questioner mentioned does not deviate from the discourse of the scholars concerning the issue of judging by man-made laws. Ibn Hazm interpreted the phrase "endurance of having one's wealth taken and back beaten" from Hudhayfah's to mean that this applies if the leader does so rightfully. If he does so wrongfully, it should not be endured, as it contradicts Allah's saying: {And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.}
He pointed out that the addition in Hudhayfah's hadith: "even if your back is beaten and your wealth is taken," was narrated by Muslim through the route of Abu Salam. Ad-Daraqutni considered it mursal (lacking a link in the chain of narration) because Abu Salam did not hear from Hudhayfah. He also mentioned that Sheikh Muqbil Al-Wadi'i deemed this addition weak due to its broken chain, yet he noted that Abu Salam was not the only one to narrate this addition; Subai' bin Khalid also narrated it with the wording "even if your body is exhausted and your wealth is taken."
