Narrated Abu Maryam AlAzdi: When I entered upon Muawiyah; he said: How good your visit is to us; O father of so-and-so. This is an idiom used by the Arabs on such occasions. I said: I tell you a tradition which I heard from the Prophet. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If Allah puts anyone in the position of authority over the affairs of the Muslims; and he secludes himself from them ; not fulfilling their needs; wants; and poverty; Allah will keep Himself away from him; not fulfilling his need; want and poverty. He said: He Muawiyah appointed a man to fulfil the needs of the people.
