English Translation
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'While I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), he said to me: O young man, be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask Allah. When you seek help, seek help from Allah. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.'
