The authority of Allah is the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet. Whoever among the rulers of the Muslims takes charge of any matter and appoints a man over the people while knowing that there is someone among them more deserving of it and more knowledgeable of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, has betrayed Allah, His Messenger and all the believers. Whoever abandons the needs of the people, Allah will not attend to his need until he fulfils their needs and gives them their right.
