[12].Surah Yusuf [Joseph] : Ayat 80

Ayat 80. So, when they despaired of Yusuf (Joseph){PBUH}, they held a conference in private. The eldest among them said: "Know you not that your father did take an oath from you in Allah's Name, and before this you did fail in your duty with Yusuf (Joseph){PBUH} ? Therefore I will not leave this land until my father permits me, or Allah decides my case (by releasing Benjamin) and He is the Best of the judges.    

Hazrat Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "When Allah desires good for a ruler, He appoints for him a sincere adviser who will remind him if he forgets and helps him if he remembers. When Allah wishes for him the contrary, He appoints for him a bad adviser who will not remind him if he forgets, nor will he help him if he remembers.'' [Sanan Abu Dawood, Hadith # 2932]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Yusuf Ayat 80. "when they despaired of Yusuf (Joseph){PBUH}, they held a conference in private." In the recruitment of good and scrupulous aides lies the Blessing of Allah to a ruler because such aides will prove helpful to him in making sound judgements, reaching right conclusions and guarding him against leaning towards evil ways. Yet, if all of these aides are self-seekers, flatterers and corrupt, they will undoubtedly influence his decision-making in a bad way. And one can believe that the end of the ruler will be far from being desirable because history also supports this view. As for the Hereafter, he will be hardly safe from the infernal torment.
