Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “A Caliph is never appointed but that he has two advisors: one advisor orders him to do good and encourages him, and another advisor orders him to do evil and encourages him. The unscathed are only those whom Allah has protected.”
