قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي لَا أَلْقَاكَ إِلَّا فِي السِّنِينَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِشَيْءٍ آخُذُ بِهِ فَقَالَ أُوصِيكَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَ الْوَرَعِ وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْفَعُ اجْتِهَادٌ لَا وَرَعَ فِيهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abu Al Magra’a, from Zayd Al Shahaam, from Amro Bin Saeed Bin Hilal Al Saqafy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I do not meet you<sup>asws</sup> except after years, so inform me with something I can take to’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> advise you with the fear of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and the devoutness, and the striving; and know that the striving would not benefit it there is no devoutness in it’.
