English translation

2932. It was reported from 'Aishah, may Allāh be pleased with her, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When Allāh deems good for an Amīr, He grants him a truthful minister; if he forgets, he will remind him, and if he remembers him, he helps him. And when Allāh wants other than that for an Amīr, He grants an evil minister. If he forgets, he will not remind him, and he will not help him if he remembers." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

2932 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْمُرِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِالْأَمِيرِ خَيْرًا جَعَلَ لَهُ وَزِيرَ صِدْقٍ، إِنْ نَسِيَ ذَكَّرَهُ، وَإِنْ ذَكَرَ أَعَانَهُ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهِ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ جَعَلَ لَهُ وَزِيرَ سُوءٍ، إِنْ نَسِيَ لَمْ يُذَكِّرْهُ، وَإِنْ ذَكَرَ لَمْ يُعِنْهُ»
