In Rauzat al-Vaezeen it is quoted that God's Prophet (a.s) narrated that God the Almighty said
“I am God and there is no one else but Me to worship. I have created the rulers and have full control over their hearts. I shall make them merciful with whoever obeys Me, and make them angry at whoever disobeys Me. Beware not to waste your time swearing at the rulers. Turn to Me in repentance so I may make their hearts kind toward you.”
من كتاب روضة الواعظين: قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): قال الله عز وجل: أنا الله لا إله إلا أنا، خلقت الملوك وقلوبهم بيدي، فأيما قوم أطاعوني جعلت قلوب الملوك عليهم رحمة، وأيما قوم عصوني جعلت قلوب الملوك عليهم سخطة، ألا لا تشغلوا أنفسكم بسب الملوك، توبوا إلي أعطف بقلوبهم عليكم.
