This hadith emphasizes the importance of patience and obedience to one's ruler, even if they do something that is not approved of. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that whoever disobeys their ruler, even a little bit, will die as those who died in the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance. The Pre-Islamic Period was a time when people did not follow any laws or rules and were rebellious sinners.
