Pearl of Wisdom
when some said to him, 'Why don't you sleep on a bed?' when the straw mat had left a mark on his sides, said, 'What do I have with this world? The example of me and the world is like a rider who rides on a summer's day, and then goes to take shade under a tree for a while during the day, and then rides on leaving it.'
Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa] Makdrim al-Akhlaq, v. 1, p. 64, no. 65

Sermon 117 In praise of his faithful companions
You are supporters of Truth and brethren in faith. You are the shield on the day of tribulation, and (my) trustees among the rest of the people. With your support I strike the runner away and hope for the obedience of him who advances forward. Therefore, extend to me support which is free from deceit and pure from doubt because, by Allah, I am the most preferable of all for the people.
