Al-Hakam ibn Amr al-Ghifari was a companion known for his firm adherence to principle over political expediency. When Ziyad ibn Abihi, the governor, ordered him to distribute spoils in a manner that violated Islamic law, al-Hakam refused, famously stating that the command of Allah supersedes the command of the emir. He served as a commander in the eastern conquests and was known for his piety, courage, and uncompromising stance toward justice even against those in power.
