Explaining Patience with the Injustice of the Ruler

Question:
We heard something like this being asked. He says: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the injustice of the ruler, he said and he did not say, “And if he kills you,” because people cannot bear those who kill them.

Answer:
Who is it that kills you, the ruler? The ruler is not one who kills you; he takes your wealth and does not beat you with a stick. So be patient for the sake of uniting the word, and you will be rewarded, if Allah wills.
