Kings are the worst creatures because they always oppose those who seek their rights."

God's Prophet (a.s) said: "Whoever is in charge of the affairs of ten people and does not treat them fairly will be resurrected on the Resurrection Day with his hands, head and feet inside the holes of a hatchet."  God's Prophet (a.s) said: "God will misguide whoever is in charge of the Muslims' affairs of the Muslims but misguides them."  Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: "Whoever is in charge of the Muslims' affairs but closes the doors of his house and hides from the people will be subjected to God's Curse and Wrath, until he opens the doors of his house and lets those who have any problems or complaints enter."  Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "The Almighty God has servants in the courts of oppressive kings who can help fend off oppression from God's friends. They are saved from the Fire by God."  Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "The penalty for working for a king is to fulfill the needs of believing brothers."  Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Do not ask the kings to fulfill your needs, since they will then ask Us to fulfill their needs in the Hereafter."  Imam Reza (a.s) said: "God has friends in the courts of the kings to help defend God's friends." In another tradition we read: "and they are saved from the Fire by God."  Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted the Prophet of God (a.s): "God has granted special privileges to some people regarding His blessings and Has entrusted them with the benefits of other people to give away in charity. But if they do not do so, God will take these privileges away and entrust others with these privileges."  Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s): "There are people among God's creatures to whom others go to fulfill their needs. They are saved from God's Punishment."  Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Kings are the worst creatures because they always oppose those who seek their rights."  Imam Baqir (a.s) said that God the Almighty said: "I am the only God, and there is no other god besides Me. I am the King of the kings. I have full control over the hearts of the kings. I can make the kings kind-hearted towards whoever obeys Me, and can make the kings bother whoever disobeys Me. Beware, and do not waste your time swearing at the kings. Rather turn in repentance towards Me, so that I make their hearts soft towards you."
