OBLIGATIONS OF THOSE IN AUTHORITY

663

“‘If Allah places someone in authority over Muslims and he fails to remedy their grievances and poverty, Allah will neither fulfill his needs nor will He remove his poverty on the Day of Judgement.’ So, Mu'awiah appointed a man to look after the needs of people.”

Abu Daud and Tirmidhi with a chain up to Abu Maryam Azdi who related that he said this to Mu'awiah.
