The first: I looked at the creation and found that every person has something that is beloved to him, but when that person reaches his grave, he would depart from his beloved. So I made the most beloved thing to me my righteous deeds, so that they may be with me in my grave.
The second: I looked at the saying of Allaah the Elevated:
"and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts." (79:40)
So I strove against my self, repelling desires and lusts from it until it settled upon obedience to Allaah.
The third: I saw that whoever possessed something valuable would keep it in a safe and secure place, I then looked at the saying of Allaah the Glorified:
"Whatever is with you will come to an end, and whatever is with Allaah will remain." (16:96)
So whenever something of value came into my possession, I gave it in His cause, so that it may remain for me with Him.
The fourth: I saw that people return to wealth, lineage and nobility, and they are all worthless, so I looked at the saying of Allaah the Glorified:
"Indeed the most honourable of you with Allaah are those who have Taqwaa." (49:13).
So I worked on attaining Taqwaa so that I may be honorable with Allaah.
The fifth: I saw that people envy each other, so I looked at the saying of the Elevated:
"It is We Who portion out their livelihood between them." (43:32)
So I forsook envy and jealousy.
The sixth: I saw them taking each other as enemies, so I looked at the saying of the Glorified:
"Surely, Shaytaan (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy." (35:6).
So I left their enmity and took Shaytaan as my only enemy.
The seventh: I saw that they humiliate themselves in pursuing provision, so I looked at the saying of Allaah the Glorified:
"And no moving (living) creature is there on earth except that its provision is due from Allaah." (11:6).
So I concentrated on what was due to Him from me, and left what was due to me from Him.
The eighth: I saw them dependent upon their trades, professions and health, so I depended upon Allaah the Glorified.
