عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال: كُنْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا، فَقَالَ: «يَا غُلَامُ، إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ، احْفَظِ اللهَ يَحْفَظْكَ، احْفَظِ اللهَ تَجِدْهُ تُجَاهَكَ، إِذَا سَأَلْتَ فَاسْأَلِ اللهَ، وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْتَ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللهِ، وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْأُمَّةَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِشَيْءٍ، لَمْ يَنْفَعُوكَ إِلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللهُ لَكَ، وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ بِشَيْءٍ، لَمْ يَضُرُّوكَ إِلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ، رُفِعَتِ الْأَقْلَامُ وَجَفَّتِ الصُّحُفُ».
Imepokewa kutoka kwa Bin Abbas -Radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake na baba yake- amesema: Siku moja nilikuwa nyuma ya Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- akasema: "Ewe kijana, hakika mimi ninakufundisha maneno, muhifadhi Mwenyezi Mungu naye atakuhifadhi, muhifadhi Mwenyezi Mungu utamkuta uendako, utakapoomba basi muombe Mwenyezi Mungu, na utakapotaka msaada basi taka msaada kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, na tambua kuwa umma mzima lau wangekusanyika ili wakunufaishe kwa chochote, basi wasingelikunufaisha isipokuwa kwa kitu alicho kuandikia Mwenyezi Mungu kuwa chako, na lau kama wangelikusanyika ili wakudhuru kwa chochote, basi wasingeweza kukudhuru isipokuwa kwa kitu alichokiandika Mwenyezi Mungu dhidi yako, kalamu zimenyanyuliwa na kurasa zimekauka".
Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: One day, I was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he said: "O boy, I shall teach you some words: Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him before you. If you ask, ask Allah; if you seek help, seek help from Allah. And know that if the Ummah were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah had already prescribed for you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allah had already prescribed against you. The pens have been lifted, and the scrolls have dried."
Umuhimu wa kuwafundisha vijana na watoto wadogo mambo ya dini kuanzia Tauhidi na adabu na mengineyo.
Malipo huenda sawa na matendo.
Amri ya kumtegemea Mwenyezi Mungu, na kutawakali kwake bila kumtegemea asiyekuwa yeye, na yeye ndiye msaidizi bora.
Kuamini maamuzi na mipango ya Mwenyezi Mungu na kuridhika nayo, nakuwa Mwenyezi Mungu amekwisha kadiria kila kitu.
Atakayetelekeza amri ya Mwenyezi Mungu basi Mwenyezi Mungu naye humtelekeza na humnyima ulinzi.
