It is reported that when Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī was on his deathbed, some of his companions came to him and said:
O Abū Sa’īd, 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.”
Abū Nu’yam, Ḥilyah Al-Awliyā' 2:154
