Abu Maryam al-Azdi told Mu’awiya, “I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, “If Allah puts someone in charge of any of the affairs of the Muslims and he is then blind to their needs, friendship and poverty, Allah will be blind to his needs, friendship and poverty on the Day of Rising.'” Mu’awiya, therefore, put a man in charge of seeing to the needs of the people. [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]
