أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الأَصْبَهَانِيُّ بِالْكَرْخِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْقَطَّانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ شَيْبَانَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ وَاسِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِخِصَالٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ : أَوْصَانِي " بِأَنْ لا أَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقِي ، وَأَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ دُونِي ، وَأَوْصَانِي بِحُبِّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَالدُّنُوِّ مِنْهُمْ ، وَأَوْصَانِي أَنْ أَصِلَ رَحِمِي وَإِنْ أَدْبَرَتْ ، وَأَوْصَانِي أَنْ لا أَخَافَ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةَ لائِمٍ ، وَأَوْصَانِي أَنْ أَقُولَ الْحَقَّ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُرًّا ، وَأَوْصَانِي أَنْ أُكْثِرَ مِنْ قَوْلِ لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللَّهِ ، فَإِنَّهَا كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: My beloved friend (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) advised me with some words of goodness. He advised me that I should not look towards someone above me, but rather look towards someone below me. He advised me to love the poor and to stay close to them. He advised me to maintain ties of kinship even if they turn away from me. He advised me not to fear the blame of any blamer regarding Allah. He advised me to speak the truth even if it is bitter. And he advised me to frequently recite "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah," for it is one of the treasures of Paradise.
