English

Abu al-Darda, may God be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "God Almighty says: I am God; there is no deity but Me, the King of kings, the Master of kings. The hearts of kings are in My hand. If My servants obey Me, I turn the hearts of their kings toward them with mercy and compassion. If My servants disobey Me, I turn their hearts with anger and resentment, and they afflict them with severe punishment. So do not occupy yourselves with praying against kings, but occupy yourselves with remembering and supplicating to Me, and I will suffice you against your kings."
