Obey God's commands even if it goes against your own desires or opinions . Follow Islamic law regarding apostasy/reversion from faith .

This hadith is about Mu’adh bin Jabal being sent by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as an envoy to Yemen. When he arrived in Yemen he declared himself as the messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Musa gave him a cushion to sit on. However, a man who had been a Jew but then became Muslim before reverting back to Kufr was brought before him. Mu’adh refused to sit down until this man was killed because it was the decree of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ that such people should be put to death for their apostasy. This hadith teaches us that we must obey the commands of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ even if they are difficult for us or go against our own desires or opinions because they are what is best for us in this life and in the hereafter. It also teaches us that apostasy is not tolerated by Islam; those who leave Islam must be punished according to Islamic law so that others may be deterred from doing so themselves.
