Riyad as-Salihin: Book 0, Hadith 678

‘Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “When Allah desires good for a ruler, He appoints for him a sincere adviser who will remind him if he forgets and helps him if he remembers. When Allah wishes for him the contrary, He appoints for him a bad adviser who will not remind him if he forgets, nor will he help him if he remembers.”.

وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ “إذا أراد الله بالأمير خيراً، جعل له وزير صدق، إن نسي ذكره، وإن ذكر أعانه، وإذا أراد به غير ذلك جعل له وزير سوء، إن نسي لم يذكره، وإذ ذكر لم يعنه” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود بإسناد جيد على شرط مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
