About preaching and counselling

Allah may bless him
who listens to a point of wisdom and retains it, when he is
invited to the right path he approaches it, he follows a leader
(by catching his waist band) and finds salvation, keeps Allah
before his eyes and fears his sins, performs actions sincerely and
acts virtuously, earns treasure of heavenly rewards, avoids vice,
aims at (good) objectives and reaps recompense, faces his desires
and rejects (fake) hopes, makes endurance the means to his
salvation and piety the provision for his death, rides on the path
of honour and sticks to the highway of truth, makes good use of
his time and hastens towards the end and takes with him the
provision of (good) actions.
