Wrap yourself in Sabr and wind on the turban of Tawba.
Wear the shirt of Zuhd and in it exhaust your strength.
Put on the twin sandals of Khawf and Raja'.
Take the staff of Yaqin and a store of Taqwa.
Take the bridle of 'Ilm and horse of Himma
And the protection of companions who will guard you from Bala' (trouble).
So struggle seriously and travel quickly on the journey.
Do not be stopped by the comtemplation of created existence, that would veil you from the place of safety.
Rather reflect on Ihsan and be sincere in shukr to Him
and get up at dawn, be humble, and hand over your trouble to Him.
Muhammad ibn al-Habib
