Ameyaona kuwa kutakuwa kati yenu wagonjwa na wengine watakaosafiri nchi nzima wakitafuta fadhila za Allah, na wengine wanapigana katika njia ya Allah. Kwa hiyo soma kile kilicho rahisi kutoka kwake na simamisha sala, lipa zakah na mkopo Allah kwa mkopo mzuri. Na kila wema mtakaoutengeneza kwa nafsi zenu—mtaupata kwa Allah.
