[Machine] My friend advised me that I look at those who are beneath me and not at those who are above me, and that I love the poor and be humble towards them, and that I speak the truth even if it is difficult, and that I do not ask anyone for anything, and that I maintain family ties even if they are broken, and that I do not fear the blame of anyone in Allah, and that I frequently say 'there is no power or strength except with Allah'.
أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي بِسَبْعٍ أَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلَ مِنِّي وَلَا أَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقِي وَأَنْ أُحِبَّ الْمَسَاكِينَ وَأَدْنُوَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَنْ أَقُولَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُرًّا وَأَنْ لَا أَسْأَلَ أَحَدًا شَيْئًا وَأَنْ أَصِلَ رَحِمِي وَإِنْ أَدْبَرَتْ وَأَنْ لَا أَخَافَ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ وَأَنْ أُكْثِرَ مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
