It is narrated from Awsat bin Ismail, may Allah have mercy on him, that after the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I heard Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood in this very place where I am standing in the first year of Hijrah. Then Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep, and then said:“Adhere to truthfulness, for it is with righteousness, and both of them lead to Paradise. And beware of lying, for it is with wickedness, and both of them lead to the Fire. And ask Allah for well-being, for after faith and certainty, nothing is better than well-being. Do not sever relations with one another. Do not turn your backs on one another, nor envy or bear malice towards one another, and be, O servants of Allah, brothers to one another.”
