Follow wise decisions when appointing leaders.

The Prophet Muhammad appointed Ibn Umm Makthum as the governor of Medina twice. This shows that the Prophet was very wise in his decisions and chose people who were capable and trustworthy to lead in his absence. He also showed that he was fair by appointing someone who may not have been from the most powerful tribe or family but still had the qualities necessary to be a leader. This hadith teaches us about leadership, trustworthiness, fairness and wisdom.
