Takhrij Hadith 37: "‌ My dear friend ﷺ…"

‌ My dear friend ﷺ commanded me with seven things: he commanded me to love the poor and to be close to them; and he commanded me to look at those who are below me and not to look at those who are above me; and he commanded me to keep good relations with relatives even if they turn away; and he commanded me not to ask [or beg] anyone for anything; and he commanded me to speak the truth even if it is bitter; and he commanded me not to fear the blame of any critic in the cause of Allah; and he commanded me to frequently say: ‘There is no power and no strength except with Allah’ (La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah), for these words are from a treasure beneath the Throne .
