Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمَّتِي، تَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْكُمْ عَمَلاً فَأَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا جَعَلَ لَهُ وَزِيرًا صَالِحًا إِنْ نَسِيَ ذَكَّرَهُ وَإِنْ ذَكَرَ أَعَانَهُ " .
Translation
Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad said: I heard my paternal aunt say that the Messenger of Allah said: If one of you is appointed to a position of authority and Allah intends good for him, He gives him a righteous minister who reminds him when he forgets and helps him when he remembers.
