COUNSEL

683

“Whenever Allah raised someone to be a prophet, or appoints a caliph he has two advisors, one counsels him with good and supports him in it, and the other counsels him with evil and entices him to it. Only the innocent person is saved from his sons by Allah.”

Bukhari with a chain up to Abu Sa'id Khudri and Abu Hurairah who relate that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him,said this.
