4208. It was narrated that Abū Ayyūb said: “I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: ‘No prophet has ever been sent, nor has there been any Khalīfah after him, but he has two groups of advisers, a group that tells him to do good and a group that tells him to do evil. Whoever is protected from the evil group, then he is indeed protected.” (Sahih)
4203 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ اللَّيْثِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا بُعِثَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ، وَلَا كَانَ بَعْدَهُ مِنْ خَلِيفَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهُ بِطَانَتَانِ: بِطَانَةٌ تَأْمُرُهُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَاهُ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، وَبِطَانَةٌ لَا تَأْلُوهُ خَبَالًا، فَمَنْ وُقِيَ بِطَانَةَ السُّوءِ فَقَدْ وُقِيَ "

‘Adviser’: The Arabic term used in the text is Bitānah. The lexical meaning of the term Bitānah is the one who possesses knowledge of the inward, or the intrinsic state or circumstances of the case, or affair of someone: a particular person, or special, intimate, friend or associate. This expression is applied to the adviser also; the friend is also so called because both of them happen to be aware of each other’s secrets.
