كتاب القدرThe Book of Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainment)
بَابُ الْمَعْصُومُ مَنْ عَصَمَ اللَّهُ:Chapter. Al-Masum (the sinless or the saved or the protected) is the one whom Allah protects.
Hadith 6611
اُردوEn
عَاصِمٌ مَانِعٌ قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ : سَدًّا عَنِ الْحَقِّ يَتَرَدَّدُونَ فِي الضَّلَالَةِ ، دَسَّاهَا أَغْوَاهَا .
Allah, the Exalted, said (in Surah Hud) «لا عاصم اليوم من امز الله», the meaning of «عاصم» is "one who prevents." Mujahid said regarding what is mentioned in Surah Ya-Sin «وجعلنا من بين ايديهم سدا», meaning "We have placed a barrier before them from accepting the truth, so they wander blindly in their error (pit)." And the word «دساها» in Surah ash-Shams means "He led astray."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَا اسْتُخْلِفَ خَلِيفَةٌ إِلَّا لَهُ بِطَانَتَانِ : بِطَانَةٌ تَأْمُرُهُ بِالْخَيْرِ وَتَحُضُّهُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَبِطَانَةٌ تَأْمُرُهُ بِالشَّرِّ وَتَحُضُّهُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَالْمَعْصُومُ مَنْ عَصَمَ اللَّهُ " .
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: That the Prophet said, "No Caliph is appointed but has two groups of advisors: One group advises him to do good and urges him to adopt it, and the other group advises him to do bad and urges him to adopt it; and the protected is the one whom Allah protects."

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
This matter is not exclusive to the Prophet or the Caliph; every person encounters this situation. He meets both good companions and bad ones. Fortunate is the person who is dominated by good companions and advisors, and this is not possible without the mercy of Allah, the Exalted. And unfortunate is the person who remains under the influence of bad companions and advisors.
