"Si no puedes pasar tus días con lo que te promueve, por lo menos no pases tus días con lo que funciona en tu contra. Si no puedes hacer amistad con gente buena, al menos no te quedes acompañado de gente mala. Si no puedes regalar lo que es tuyo por amor a Dios, por lo menos no gastes tu fortuna en cosas que atraerán Su disgusto. Mantén el continuo arrepentimiento y duda que tu arrepentimiento sea aceptado.
- Sulami (d. 1021 CE), Kitab al-Futuwwah, trans. Tosun Bayrak (Vermont: Inner Traditions, 1991), 58.
"If you cannot pass your days with what furthers you, at least do not pass your days with what works against you. If you cannot befriend good people, at least do not keep company with bad people. If you cannot give away what is yours for God's sake, at least do not spend your fortune on things that will draw His displeasure. Keep continuous repentance, and doubt that your repentance is accepted."
- Sulami (d. 1021 CE), Kitab al-Futuwwah, trans./ed. Tosun Bayrak (Vermont: Inner Traditions, 1991), 58.
