Asim bin Humayd al-Sakuni (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out with him, giving him advice. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to look towards Madinah and said: "These people of my household think that they are the most entitled of people (to me), but it is not so. My allies among you are only the God-fearing, whoever they may be and wherever they may be. O Allah, I do not permit them to corrupt what You have set right. By Allah, my nation will be overturned upon its religion just as a vessel is overturned in an open plain."
