The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever disapproves of something done by his ruler then he should be patient, for whoever disobeys the ruler even a little (little = a span) will die as those who died in the Period of Ignorance. (i.e., as rebellious sinners)." He narrated in another Hadith, "Whoever notices something which he dislikes done by his ruler, then he should be patient, for whoever becomes separate from the company of the Muslims even for a span and then dies, he will die as those who died in the Period of Ignorance (as rebellious sinners)." [9:177 and 178-O.B]

We entered upon Ubâda bin-while he was sick. We said, "May Allâh make you good and healthy. Will you tell us a Hadith you heard from the Prophet (ﷺ) and by which Allâh may make you benefit?" He said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) called us and we gave him the Bai'a pledge for Islâm, and-among the conditions on which he took the Bai'a pledge from us, was that-we were to listen and obey (the orders of a Muslim ruler) both at the time when we were active and at the time when we were tired, and at our difficult time and at our ease and to be obedient to the ruler and give him his right even if he did not give us our right, and not to fight against him unless we noticed him having open Kufr (disbelief) for which we would have a proof with us from Allâh." [9:179-O.B]

We went to Anas bin Mâlik and complained about the wrong, people were suffering at the hand of Al-Hajjaj. Anas bin Mâlik said, "Be patient till you meet your Lord, for no time will come upon you but the time following it will be worse than it. I heard that from your Prophet (ﷺ) " [9:189-O.B]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None of you should point out towards his Muslim brother with a weapon, for he does not know, Satan may tempt him to hit him and thus he would fall into a pit of fire (Hell)." [9:193-O.B]
