The Best of Friends

Good fearing people, find them even if you have to spend all your life looking for them, those whom you miss and wish that you will not live any longer after losing them, those who scold you for the sake of obeying Allah, those who hurry to do good deeds, those who call you to say the truth, those who are truthful, those who call you to do good, those who aid you to obey Allah and avert Allah’s disobedience, those who help you to do good deeds for the sake of the Hereafter, those who become angry with you when you err, those who don’t let you down and in need of others, those who guide you in order to be aware about your shortcomings, those who feel indebted to you because you did favor to them, those who, when they know that you are need of something, hurry to help you before you ask, those who do not keep their shortcomings secret till they are discovered by others, those who mirror their friends, those who inspect their friends, thus remembering the absentee, visiting the present and calling upon the sick.
