یَابْنَ الْغَطارِفَةِ الْأَنْجَبِینَ أنتَ اَمانٌ لِأَهلِ اِلأرضِ....

I advise you (both) to fear Allah and that you should not hanker after the (pleasures of

this) world even though it may run after you. Do not be sorry for anything of this world

that you have been denied. Speak the truth and act (in expectation) for reward. Be an

enemy of the oppressor and helper of the oppressed. I advise you (both) and all my

children and members of my family and everyone whom my writing reaches to fear Allah

to keep your affairs in order and to maintain good relations among yourselves for I have

heard your grand-father (the Holy Prophet - p.b.u.h.a.h.p.) saying Improvement of mutual

                                                                   ."differences is better than general prayers and fastings

Fear) Allah (and) keep Allah in view in the matter of orphans . So do not allow them to)

.starve and they should not be ruined in your presence

Fear)Allah (and) keep Allah in view in the matter of your neighbours, because they were)

the subject of the Prophet's advice. He went on advising in their favour till we thought he

.would allow them a share in inheritance

Fear) Allah (and) keep Allah in view in the matter of the Qur'an. No one should excel you)

.in acting upon it

Fear) Allah (and) keep Allah in view in the matter of prayer, because it is the pillar of your)

.religion

Fear) Allah (and) keep Allah in view in the matter of your Lord's House (Ka'bah). Do not)

.forsake it so long as you live, because if it is abandoned you will not be spared

Fear) Allah (and) keep Allah in view in the matter of jihad with the help of your property,)

.lives and tongues in the way of Allah

You should keep to a respect for kinship and spending for others. Avoid turning away

from one another and severing mutual relations. Do not give up bidding for good and

forbidding from evil lest the mischievous gain positions over you, and then if you will pray,

the prayers will not be granted. Then he said: O' sons of `Abd al-Muttalib, certainly I do

not wish to see you plunging harshly into the blood of Muslims shouting "Amir al-mu'minin

.has been killed. Beware do not kill on account of me except my killer

Wait till I die by his (Ibn Muljam's) existing stroke. Then strike him one stroke for his

stroke and do not dismember the limbs of the man for I have heard the Messenger of

.Allah (p.b. u.h.a.h.p.) saying Avoid cutting limbs even though it may be a rabid dog
