In Sahih Muslim: "O Allah, whoever is given charge of any affair of my Ummah and causes them hardship, then cause him hardship; and whoever is given charge of any affair of my Ummah and is kind to them, then be kind to him." And the supplication of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is answered. So, whoever causes hardship to the Ummah, Allah will cause him hardship. The chain of narration for the hadith: Harun ibn Sa'id al-Ayli narrated to me, saying: Ibn Wahb narrated to us, saying: Harmalah narrated to me, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Shumasah, from Aisha.
