Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 256

Translation

The Prophet ﷺ said to Abu al-Haytham: "Do you have a servant?" He said, "No." He said: "When captives come to us, come to us." Then two captives were brought to the Prophet ﷺ, with no third person accompanying them, and Abu al-Haytham came to him. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Choose one of them." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, choose for me." The Prophet ﷺ said: "The one consulted is entrusted. Take this one, for I have seen him praying, and treat him well." His wife said, "You will not fulfill what the Prophet ﷺ said about him unless you free him." He said, "Then he is freed." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Allah ﷻ did not send any prophet or any caliph except that he had two inner circles: an inner circle that commands him to do what is right and forbids him from what is wrong, and an inner circle that spares no effort in causing him ruin. Whoever is protected from an evil inner circle has indeed been protected."
