It is narrated from Hasan, he says that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to his companions, may Allah be pleased with them: "Your example among the people is like the example of salt in food." The narrator says: Then Hasan said: Is food only tasty with salt? Hasan says: What will be the condition of the people whose salt is lost?
