Riyad as-Salihin 671
وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ “من كره من أميره شيئاً فليصبر، فإنه من خرج من السلطان شبراً مات ميتة جاهلية” ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If a person notices in his ruler what he dislikes, he should show patience because he who departs from the (Muslim) community a cubit, dies like those who died in the Days of Ignorance."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
