Abu Maryam al-Azdi reported: When I went to see Mu‘āwiyah, he said: "How good your visit is to us, O father of so-and-so." (This is an idiom used by the Arabs on such occasions). I said: "I will tell you a Hadīth that I heard.

I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'If Allah, the Exalted, puts someone in the position of authority over the affairs of Muslims and he secludes himself, not meeting their needs, deficiencies, and poverty, Allah will keep Himself away from him, not fulfilling his needs, deficiencies, and poverty.'" He said: “He appointed a man to meet people’s needs.”

Source textOriginal Arabic
عن أبي مريم الأزْدي، قال: دخلتُ على معاوية فقال: ما أنْعَمَنا بك أبا فلان -وهي كلمة تقولها العرب- فقلتُ: حديثًا سمعتُه أُخبرُك به، سمعتُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «مَنْ ولَّاهُ الله عز وجل شيئًا مِنْ أَمْر المسلمين فاحْتَجَبَ دُونَ حاجَتِهم وخَلَّتِهِم وفقرهم، احْتَجَبَ الله عنه دون حاجَتِه وخَلَّتِهِ وفقره» قال: فَجَعَل رجلًا على حَوائِج الناس.
