Kutoka kwa Abu Hurairah (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) amesema: Mjumbe wa Allah amesema: "Hakika Allah Ta'ala amesema: Yeyote anayemfanyia uadui kipenzi Changu (walii wangu), basi nimemtangazia vita. Na mja Wangu hajikurubishi Kwangu kwa kitu Ninachokipenda zaidi kama kile Nilichomfaradhishia. Na mja Wangu ataendelea kujikurubisha Kwangu kwa amali za sunna mpaka Nimpende; Nikimpenda Ninakuwa masikio yake anayosikilizia, macho yake anayoonea, mkono wake anaoshikia, na mguu wake anaotembelea. Akiniomba hakika Nitampa, na akijikinga Kwangu hakika Nitamkinga."

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allah said: "Verily Allah the Exalted has said: Whosoever shows enmity to a wali (friend) of Mine, then I have declared war upon him. My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have obligated upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with optional works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask of Me, I would surely give it to him; and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant it to him."
