✧ Hamza with Lam
"الأخلَّاءُ ثلاثةُ: فأمَّا خليل فيقولُ: أنا معك حتَّى تأتى بابَ الملِك ثم أرجعَ وأتْرُكَكَ فذلك أَهلك وعشيرتُك يشيعونك حتَّى تاتى قبرَك، وأَمَّا خليل فيقول: أنا لك ما أعطيتَ وما أَمسكْتَ فليس لَكَ، فذلك مَالُكَ، وأَمَّا خليلٌ فيقولُ: أَنا مَعَكَ حيثُ دخلتَ وحيثُ خرجتَ فذلك عملك، فيقولُ: والله لقد كنت من أَهونِ الثَّلاثة عليّ".

"Friends are three: as for one friend, he says: 'I am with you until you reach the gate of the king, then I will return and leave you.' That is your family and your kin, who accompany you until they reach your grave. As for another friend, he says: 'I am yours as long as you give, and if you withhold, I am not yours.' That is your wealth. As for another friend, he says: 'I am with you wherever you enter and wherever you leave.' That is your deed. He says: 'By Allah, you were among the least of the three in my estimation.'"
