Abdullah replied, "What is your need?". He said, "What is righteousness?". Abdullah said, "It is to be kind and accommodating to people". He said, "And what is kindness?". Abdullah said, "To help people in their needs". He said, "And what is wastefulness?". Abdullah said, "To spend money in unnecessary things". He said, "And what is the ummah?". Abdullah said, "It is the one who teaches people good things".
