My beloved friend ﷺ commanded me with seven things. He commanded me to love the poor and to draw near to them. He commanded me to look at those below me and not at those above me. He commanded me to maintain ties of kinship even when relatives turn away. He commanded me not to ask anyone for anything. He commanded me to speak the truth even if it be bitter. He commanded me not to fear, for the sake of Allah, the blame of any blamer. And he commanded me to say often, "There is no power and no strength except through Allah," for these words are from a treasure beneath the Throne.
أمرني خليلي ﷺ بسبع: أمرني بحب المساكين، والدنو منهم، وأمرني أن أنظر إلى من هو دوني، ولا أنظر إلى من هو فوقي، وأمرني أن أصل الرحم وإن أدبرت، وأمرني أن لا أسأل أحدا شيئا، وأمرني أن أقول بالحق وإن كان مرا، وأمرني أن لا أخاف في الله لومة لائم، وأمرني أن أكثر من قول: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، فإنهن من كنز تحت العرش.
Ahmad (21415), Tabarani in Al-Dua, (1648), and Nasai in Amal al-Yawm wal-Layla (354) reported it, and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (449), all of them from the hadith of Muhammad bin Wasi, from Abdullah bin Samit, from Abu Dharr, who narrated it. Its chain of transmission is sahih.
