[Machine] From his cousin, one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , came to Muawiyah and entered upon him. He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever is given authority over the affairs of the people but closes his door upon the poor, the oppressed, or those in need, then Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, will close the doors of His mercy upon him when he is in need and poverty. This is the poorest condition one can reach.'"
عَنِ ابْنِ عَمٍّ لَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَتَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ وَلِيَ أَمْرًا مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَغْلَقَ بَابَهُ دُونَ الْمِسْكِينِ وَالْمَظْلُومِ أَوْ ذِي الْحَاجَةِ أَغْلَقَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى دُونَهُ أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِهِ عِنْدَ حَاجَتِهِ وَفَقْرِهِ أَفْقَرُ مَا يَكُونُ إِلَيْهَا
