Sahih al-Bukhari 7054 (Book 92, Hadith 7) #6779
Patience and Loyalty in the Muslim Community

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of patience and loyalty to the Muslim community, even if one disagrees with their ruler.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said, "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 Pre-lslamic period of Ignorance (as rebellious sinners).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْجَعْدِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو رَجَاءٍ الْعُطَارِدِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ رَأَى مِنْ أَمِيرِهِ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَصْبِرْ عَلَيْهِ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ شِبْرًا فَمَاتَ، إِلاَّ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of patience and loyalty to the Muslim community, even if one disagrees with their ruler. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that whoever separates from the company of Muslims for any amount of time, even a short span, will die as those who died in pre-Islamic times. This means that it is important to remain loyal to your fellow Muslims despite any disagreements you may have with them or your rulers. It also implies that it is better to stay within a unified group than to separate yourself from it due to differences in opinion or beliefs. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us that we should strive for unity among all Muslims regardless of our differences so that we can continue living together peacefully and productively as a single community.
