(كلام علي) بن أبي طالب ﵁
The words of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37218 — The words of Ali bin Abi Talib
٣٧٢١٨ - حدثنا وكيع قال: حدثنا إياس بن أبي تميمة قال: سمعت عطاء بن أبي (رياح) (١) قال: كان علي بن أبي طالب إذا بعث سرية (ولى) (٢) أمرها رجلا فأوصاه فقال: أوصيك بتقوى اللَّه، لا بد لك من لقائه، ولا منتهى لك دونه، وهو يملك الدنيا والآخرة، وعليك بالذي يقربك إلى اللَّه، فإن (فيما) (٣) عند اللَّه خلفا من (الدنيا) (٤) (٥).
It is narrated from Ata bin Abi Rabah that he said: Whenever Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) sent out a military expedition, he would appoint a man in charge of it and give him advice, saying: "I advise you to fear Allah. You must certainly meet Allah, and short of Him there is no final end for you. He alone is the Owner of this world and the Hereafter. Be sure to do what brings you closer to Allah, for what is with Allah is also a replacement for the wealth of this world."
