O my Son!
* Allah Ta’ala protects the one who admonishes himself. Allah increases the honour of one who deals justly with people.
* Disgrace in the wake of obedience to Allah, brings about proximity to Allah Ta’ala, and respect in the wake of disobedience distances one from Allah Ta’ala.
* The punishment the father metes out to his son, is like fertilizer for the farm.
* Beware of debt. Debt causes disgrace during the day, and worry during the night.
* Lies eliminate (spiritual) glitter from the face. An evil character afflicts one with considerable worry.
* It is easier to move rocks than to convince a moron.
* I have lifted rocks, iron and many loads. No load is heavier than an evil neighbour.
* Nothing is as bitter as dependence on others.
* Participate much in Janaazah (funerals), and abstain from participating in weddings.
* Do not eat to satiation (i.e. do not fill your stomach to capacity). At the time of satiation it is better to give your food to a dog than to eat it.
* There is no goodness in acquiring further knowledge if you do not practically implement your existing knowledge.
* Before befriending someone, observe his conduct in anger. If in anger he acquits himself with justice, then befriend him otherwise maintain your distance from him.
