[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "O Allah, whoever is given authority over any matter concerning my Ummah (followers), and he makes it difficult for them, then make it difficult for him. And whoever is given authority over any matter concerning my Ummah, and he shows them kindness, then show him kindness."
