In accountability and transparency:
Narrated under the authority of Abdullah Bin Moghfal Al
Mazny, may Allah Be pleased with him saying: I hereby testify that I heard the
Messenger of Allah salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam saying:" No Imam, or ruler
spends his night after cheating his citizens, except that Allah Prevents him
completely from Jannah" (reported by Tabarani as sound)
Abu Maryam Al-Azdi
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I said to
Mu'awiyah (bin Abu Sufyan) (May Allah be pleased with them): I heard Messenger
of Allah salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam (ﷺ) saying, "If Allah invests to someone the affairs of the
Muslims and he (i.e., the ruler) ignores their rights, denies their access to
him and neglects their needs, Allah will not answer his prayer or realize his
hopes and will act towards him with indifference on the Day of
Resurrection." So Mu'awiyah appointed a person to keep a vigil on the
necessities of the people and to fulfill them.
[Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi].
