Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32731 — Reports on talk about rulers
٣٢٧٣١ - حدثنا وكيع عن عمران بن حدير عن (السميط) (١) عن كعب قال: لكل زمان ملوك، فإذا أراد اللَّه بقوم خيرًا بعث فيهم مصلحيهم، وإذا أراد (اللَّه) (٢) (بقوم) (٣) شرا بعث فيهم مترفيهم.
Al-Sumayt narrates that Ka'b said: Every age has its own kings. When Allah Almighty intends good for a people, He makes the righteous among them their kings, and when He intends evil for a people, He makes those given to luxury among them their kings.
