Hadith #50811
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
" مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ وَلَا اسْتَخْلَفَ مِنْ خَلِيفَةٍ إِلَّا كَانَتْ لَهُ بِطَانَتَانِ: بِطَانَةٌ تَأْمُرُهُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَحُضُّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَبِطَانَةٌ تَأْمُرُهُ بِالشَّرِّ وَتَحُضُّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَالْمَعْصُومُ مَنْ عصمَه اللَّهُ ". رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
On the authority of Abu Saeed, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “God has not sent a prophet nor appointed a caliph without having two secrets: An inner circle commands him to do good and encourages him to do it, and an inner circle commands him to do evil and urges him to do it, and the infallible is the one whom God protects.” Narrated by Al-Bukhari
