[النصح بالتّقوى :] أُوصِيكُمْ عِبَادَاللهِ، بِتَقْوَى اللهِ وَطَاعَتِهِ، فَإنَّهَا النَّجَاةُ غَداً، وَالْمَنْجَاةُ أَبَداً. رَهَّبَ فَأبْلَغَ، وَرَغَّبَ فَأَسْبَغَ، وَوَصَفَ لَكُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَانْقِطَاعَهَا، وَزَوَالَهَا وَانْتِقَا لَهَا. فَأَعْرِضُوا عَمَّا يُعْجِبُكُمْ فِيهَا لِقِلَّةِ مَا يَصْحَبُكُمْ مِنْهَا، أَقْرَبُ دَار مِنْ سَخَطِ اللهِ، وَأَبْعَدُهَا مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللهِ!
Translation
[Drawing lessons from this world :] I advise you, O creatures of Allāh, to exercise fear of Allāh and to obey Him because it is salvation tomorrow and deliverance for ever. He warned (you of chastisement) and did so thoroughly. He persuaded (you towards virtues) and did so fully. He described this world, its cutting away from you, its decay and its shifting. Therefore keep aloof from its attractions, because very little of it will accompany you. This house is the closest to the displeasure of Allāh and the remotest from the pleasure of Allāh.
