Advice of the Holy Prophet, Sallallahu ʿAlayhi waalihi

130. From him, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام having said that: ‘A man came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and said to him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, ‘O Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, advise me’. The Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said to him: ‘So will you follow it if I صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم give advice to you?’ To the extent that he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said that to him three times, and during each of which the man said to him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, Yes, O Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم’. So the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said to him: ‘So I صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم hereby advise you that whenever you feel like doing something, ponder over its consequences, for if there is guidance for you, so do it, and if it is a straying for you, so abstain from it’.
