عن ابي الشماخ الازدي عن ابن عم له من اصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم رضي الله عنه اتى معاوية فدخل عليه فقال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يقول ”من ولي امرا من امر الناس ثم اغلق بابه دون المسكين والمظلوم او ذي الحاجة اغلق الله تبارك وتعالى دونه ابواب رحمته عند حاجته وفقره افقر ما يكون إليها“
Abu al-Shamakh al-Azdi narrates from one of his cousins, who was among the Companions, that he went to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever is made a ruler over people and he closes his door to the poor, the oppressed, or the needy, Allah Almighty will close the doors of His mercy to him at the time of his need and poverty, while he will be in dire need of His mercy.

عن علي بن الحكم قال حدثني ابو حسن ان عمرو بن مرة قال لمعاوية يا معاوية إني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يقول ”ما من إمام او وال يغلق بابه دون ذوي الحاجة والخلة والمسكنة إلا اغلق الله عز وجل ابواب السماء دون حاجته وخلته ومسكنته“ قال فجعل معاوية رجلا على حوائج الناس
It is narrated from Abu al-Hasan that Amr bin Murrah said to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him): O Muawiyah! I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever, as a ruler, closes his door to those in need and the poor, Allah Almighty closes the doors of the heavens to him at the time of his need, want, and poverty. After this, Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed a person to look after the needs of the people.
