It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said from the pulpit: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The part of the world that remains now is nothing but hardships and tribulations, and the example of your deeds is like that of a vessel; if its upper part is clean, then the lower part will also be clean, and if the upper part is impure, then the lower part will also be impure.
