Sunan Abi Dawud 2932 (Book 20, Hadith 5) #23222
Appointment of Ministers by Allah

SUMMARY: Allah has a purpose for every ruler and appoints a minister accordingly to help them achieve it.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: The Messenger of Allah said: When Allah has a good purpose for a ruler, He appoints for him a sincere minister who reminds him if he forgets and helps him if he remembers; but when Allah has a different purpose from that for him. He appoints for him an evil minister who does not remind him if he forgets and does not help him if he remembers.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْمُرِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِالأَمِيرِ 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

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive to do what is right and be sincere in your intentions .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that when Allah has a good purpose for a ruler, He will appoint someone who is sincere and will remind the ruler if they forget something or help them if they remember something. On the other hand, when Allah has another purpose in mind for the ruler, He will appoint someone who does not remind them or help them in any way. This teaches us that we should always strive to do what is right and be sincere in our intentions so that we can be appointed as ministers by God. We should also remember that God knows best and His plans are always perfect even if we don't understand why He does certain things at certain times.
