1017 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to us; ʿAbd al-Razzaq narrated to us; Jaʿfar ibn Sulaymān narrated that Humayd al-Aʿraj related to him from ʿIkrimah ibn Khālid, who said:

Saʿd said to his son, “My dear boy, after I am gone you will never meet anyone more sincerely concerned for you than I am. When you wish to pray, perfect your wudu (ritual ablution), and offer a prayer after which you think you will ⦗150⦘ never pray again. Beware of greed, for it is poverty present before you; instead, embrace self-sufficiency, for that is true wealth. Keep away from every word and deed that would require an apology—then act as you like.”
