How authentic is the Hadith: "I am the King of kings; the hearts of kings are in My hand. So, whoever obeys Me, I will make them a mercy upon him, and whoever disobeys Me, I will make them a vengeance upon him. Therefore, do not preoccupy yourselves with reviling kings, but rather turn to Me in repentance, and I will show them favor toward you"?

This hadith is not authentic from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and its chain of narration is very weak. Rather, it is authentically narrated from Malik ibn Mughawwil or Malik ibn Dinar, who narrated it from the ancient scriptures.
