Ibn Taimiyyah said, “Very rarely is it the case that the one who revolts against the ruler with power finds anything except a greater evil than any good brought about. This was the case with those who revolted against Yazeed in Madinah.
This was also true for ibn al-Ashath who revolted against Abdul Malik in Iraq. Such was true for ibn alMuhallab who revolted against his son in Khurasaan. The same was true for Abu Muslim, the leader of the call in revolting against them in Khurasaan also. And such was true for those who rebelled against al-Mansoor in Madinah and Basrah. [And the same was true for] other similar examples.
The most that occurred for them is that they were defeated or they defeated others for a short period of time and then were removed leaving behind no [positive] legacy. Abdullah ibn Ali and Abu Muslim killed a large number of people and both of them were killed by Abu ]afar al-Mansoor.
As for the people of [the Battle of] al-Harrah, ibn al-Ashaath, ibn al-Muhallab and others, they were defeated and their companions were defeated and they did not establish religion nor did they leave a worldly legacy.
Allah did not order any deed that does not result in either good for the religion or good for this world. Even if the people involved are from the devout and pious servants of Allah and from the people of Paradise, they cannot be more virtuous than Ali, Aishah, Talhah, al-Zubair, and others but these people were not praised for their fighting although they have a greater place with Allah and a purer intention than others.”
You can wander from the scholars and disobey them as much as you like, but their wisdom will encompass you eventually.
