"عن عمر أنه كتب إلى ابنه عبد الله بن عمر: أَمَّا بَعْدُ؛ فَإِنِّى أُوصِيك بِتَقْوَى الله، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَتَّقِ الله وَقَاهُ، وَمَنْ تَوَكَّلَ عَلَيْهِ كَفَاهُ، وَمَنْ أَقْرَضَهُ جَزَاهُ، وَمَنْ شَكَرَهُ زَادَهُ، وَلْتَكُنِ التَّقْوَى نُصْبَ عَيْنَيْكَ، وَعِمَادَ عَملكَ، وَجِلَاءَ قَلْبِكَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا عَمَلَ لِمَنْ لَا نِيَّةَ لَهُ، وَلَا أَجْرَ لِمَنْ لا (حِسْبَةَ) لَهُ، وَلَا مَالَ لِمَنْ لَا رِفْقَ لَهُ، وَلَا جَديدَ لِمَنْ لا خلَقَ لَهُ".

"Narrated from 'Umar that he wrote to his son 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar: To proceed: I advise you with the fear of Allah, for whoever fears Allah, He will protect him; whoever relies upon Him, He will suffice him; whoever lends to Him, He will reward him; and whoever thanks Him, He will increase him. Let piety be before your eyes, the pillar of your deed, and the polish of your heart. For there is no deed for one who has no intention, no reward for one who has no sincere purpose (hisbah), no wealth for one who has no gentleness, and nothing new for one who has no wear."
