Compete regarding the goodness with its people , and precede them to it, for the goodness is like its name and leave from the world what you -as are self-sufficient from it, and your -as eyes should not look towards every one intrigued by it and has allocated himself to it. And know, that every ‘ Fitna ’ (strife) begins by the love for the world; and do not seek anyone with a lot of wealth, for along with the abundance of wealth are a lot of sins for the Obligatory rights.
And do not seek anyone by pleasing the people about him until you know that Allah -azwj is Pleased from him, and do not seek people by obeying the people for him, for in obeying the people for him and seeking them for him upon other than the truth, there would be destruction for him and for the one who sought him”’.
