It is reported that Jundub bin ‘Abdillâh
Al-Bajalî رضي اللّه عنـه was
once asked for advice and instruction. He said:
"I advise you to fear Allâh and obey
Him (taqwâ) and I advise you to adhere to the Qur'aan, for it is a light in the
dark night and a guidance during the day, so implement it no matter how much
struggle and poverty you have to face. If a calamity befalls you, put your
wealth forward to protect your religion, and if the calamity continues, put
forward your wealth and your life to save your religion [but NEVER risk your religion], for the ruined is
he whose religion is ruined, and the looted is he whose religion is taken. And
know that there is no poverty after Paradise, and no riches after the Fire."
{Al-Dhahabî, Siyar A’lâm
Al-Nubalâ` 3:174}
