It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) advised me regarding ten matters, saying: Do not associate anything with Allah, even if you are killed and burned; never disobey your parents, even if they command you to leave your family and wealth; never deliberately abandon the obligatory prayer, for whoever deliberately abandons the obligatory prayer, the protection of Allah is lifted from him; never drink alcohol, for it is the root of all indecency; avoid disobedience, for due to disobedience the wrath of Allah descends; avoid fleeing on the day of battle, even if people are dying; when people are afflicted with widespread death and you are among them, remain steadfast; spend on your family according to your means; do not keep your stick away from them for the sake of teaching them discipline, and instill in them the fear of Allah.
