Hazrat Abu Qalabah narrates that some people from Kufa came to Hazrat Abu Darda and said: "Your brothers from Kufa send you greetings and request that you give them some advice." He replied: "Then convey my greetings to them and instruct them to act upon the Qur'an with all their heart and soul; it will grant them ease and comfort, and it will protect them from oppression and sorrow."
