Be patient with yourself upon the Sunnah and stop were [Al-Qawm-the people (i.e. Sahaabah(1)] stopped; speak with what they spoke with; refrain from what they refrained from and follow the path of your righteous predecessors; for indeed what sufficed them suffices you. (2)

Abu Uthmaan Saeed Bin Ismaa’eel [rahimahullaa (1)] said: ”Advice the Muslim ruler (in private) and make a lot of supplication for him to be righteous and rightly guided in speech, action and judgement. Indeed, if they (rulers) are righteous, the slaves of Allaah will be righteous by way of them (i.e. through their ruler ship). Beware of supplicating against them by way cursing and thus they increase in evil and (cause) calamity upon the muslims. Rather supplicate for them to be granted the ability to repent, so that they abandon evil and calamity is removed from the Muslims.

A man said to Abdullaah Ibn Umar (radiyallaahu-anhumaa): “O you the best of the people and the son of the best of the people!” So Ibn Umar said, “I am neither the best of the people nor the son of the best of the people; rather I am a slave from the slaves of Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic). I have hope in Allaah and I fear Him. By Allaah! You do not leave a man alone until you destroy him.”
