Al-Qasim narrates that Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When an amir is appointed as amir, he has two circles of confidants from among his own people: one urges him to obey Allah Almighty, and the other urges him to disobey Him. He will be with whichever of the two he follows.
Tabarani recorded it. The narrator al-Qasim did not live in the time of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him).
