It is reported that when Al-Hasan Al-Basrî was on his deathbed, some of his companions came to him and said:O Abû Sa’îd, offer us some words you can benefit us with. He replied, “I will equip you with three words, then you must leave me to face what I am facing. Be the farthest of people from those things you have been forbidden, and be the most involved of people in the good you have been commanded to do; and know that the steps you take are two steps: a step in your favor and a step against you, so be careful where you come and where you go.”Abû Nu’yam, Hilyah Al-Awliyâ` 2:154
