1998 9-10 September-October 10 SYCOPHANTIC SUBORDINATES PORTEND DISASTER (78) Aishah reports the Prophet as saying: “When God desires the good of someone in a position of power, he assigns to him an honest counsellor, one who reminds him of God’s word when he forgets it, and who assists him when he remembers it. And when he desires the opposite for anyone, he gives him an evil counsellor, one who does not remind him when he forgets and does not assist him when he remembers.”
(Abu Dawud, Sunan)
