Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا السَّائِبُ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ عَنْ أَبِي الشَّمَّاخِ الْأَزْدِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَمٍّ لَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ أَتَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ وَلِيَ أَمْرَ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَغْلَقَ بَابَهُ دُونَ الْمِسْكِينِ أَوْ الْمَظْلُومِ أَوْ ذِي الْحَاجَةِ أَغْلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ دُونَهُ أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِهِ عِنْدَ حَاجَتِهِ وَفَقْرِهِ أَفْقَرَ مَا يَكُونُ إِلَيْهَا.

Abu Sa'id, freedman of Banu Hashim, narrated to us: Za'idah narrated to us: al-Sa'ib b. Hubaysh narrated to us, from Abu al-Shammakh al-Azdi, from a cousin of his among the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he came to Mu'awiyah and entered upon him and said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'Whoever is placed in charge of the people's affairs and then closes his door against the poor, the wronged, or the needy, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will close the doors of His mercy against him at his time of need and poverty, when he is most in need of it.'"
