:-Advise of Jundub-:

Yunus bin Jubair said to Jundub: Advise us.

He replied:

I advise you with taqwa (piety) of Allah, and advise you with the Qur’an, for It is the light in the darkness of night, and a guidance in the day. Act according with what you have of [your] health and poverty, and if calamities presents iteslf, be sure to give up your money before you give up your faith. If the calamities exceed, give up your money and yourself before you give up your faith. The ruined is one who ruined his faith, and the denied is the one who denied his faith, and know that there isn’t poverty after Jannah, and no richness after hellfire.

Translated from [Siyar A'lam An-nubala 173/3]
