165. Abu Dharr said: My friend ordered me to observe seven things. He ordered me
to love the poor and be near them; he ordered me to consider my inferior and not
consider my superior; he ordered me to join ties of relationship even when
relatives are at a distance; he ordered me not to ask anyone for anything; he
ordered me to speak the truth even when it is bitter; he ordered me not to fear
for God's sake reproach anyone may cast on me; and he ordered me to repeat
often, "There is no might and no power except in God," for these words are a
part of the treasure under the throne.
(Ahmad).
