Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty says: 'I am Allah; there is no god but Me. I am the Owner of kings and the King of kings. The hearts of kings are in My Hand. When the servants obey Me, I turn the hearts of their kings towards them with compassion and mercy; and when the servants disobey Me, I turn the hearts of their kings against them with anger and vengeance, and then they make them taste the worst of punishment. So do not occupy yourselves with cursing the kings; rather, busy yourselves with remembrance and humble beseeching of Me, and I will suffice you against your kings.'"
