8 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Shurayh ibn Yunus narrated to me; ʿAbd al-Quddus narrated to us, from Bakr ibn Khunays, from al-Awzaʿi, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, who said: Luqman counselled his son, saying, “My dear son, this world is a vast sea in which many people have drowned. If you can, make your ship upon it faith in Allah, its cargo deeds of obedience to Allah, and its sail reliance upon Allah—so that you may be saved.”
