حَدَّثَنَا مِقْدَامٌ، ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ الرَّقِّيُّ، ثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، ثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ خِلَاسِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو. عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ:
أَنَا اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا، مَالِكُ الْمُلُوكِ وَمَلِكُ الْمُلُوكِ، قُلُوبُ الْمُلُوكِ فِي يَدِي، وَإِنَّ الْعِبَادَ إِذَا أَطَاعُونِي حَوَّلْتُ قُلُوبَ مُلُوكِهِمْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالرَّأْفَةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ، وَإِنَّ الْعِبَادَ إِذَا عَصَوْنِي حَوَّلْتُ قُلُوبَهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالسَّخْطَةِ وَالنِّقْمَةِ فَسَامُوهُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ، فَلَا تَشْغَلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِالدُّعَاءِ عَلَى الْمُلُوكِ، وَلَكِنِ اشْتَغِلُوا بِالذِّكْرِ وَالتَّضَرُّعِ إِلَيَّ أَكْفِكُمْ مُلُوكَكُمْ

✧ I am Allah, there is no god but Me, Owner of kings and King of kings. The hearts of kings are in My hand. When the servants obey Me, I turn the hearts of their kings toward them with compassion and mercy; and when the servants disobey Me, I turn their hearts against them with wrath and vengeance, and they inflict upon them severe punishment. So do not occupy yourselves with supplicating against kings, but rather occupy yourselves with remembrance and humble entreaty to Me, and I will suffice you against your kings.
