عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ الله صَلّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلّمَ : إِذَا أَرادَ الله بِالأَمِيْرِ خَيْرًا جَعَلَ لَهُ وَزِيْرَ صِدْقٍ ، إِنْ نَسِيَ ذَكَرَهُ ، وَإِنْ ذَكَرَ أَعانَهُ ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ الله بِهِ غَيْرَ ذلِكَ جَعَلَ لَهُ وَزِيْرَ سُوءٍ ، إِنْ نَسِيَ لَمْ يَذْكُرْهُ ، وَإِنْ ذَكَرَ لَمْ يُعِنْه On the authority of Aishah, she said: The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, said, “If God wills good for a ruler, He gives him a good minister, who, should he forget will remind him, and should he remember will help him.

وَزِيْر is the Arabic term for the Queen in chess. In classical Arabian chess, it was initially a much weaker piece than it is now, being allowed to move only one step orthogonally. It is still the word used to describe such a piece when playing variants of chess in which unorthodox pieces are introduced.
