Naseehat
Abu Dhar(RA) narrates that my close friend (Rasulullah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) enjoined upon me seven things: (1) He ordered me to love the poor, and be close to the them. (2) He ordered me to look at those inferior to me, and not to look at those who are superior. (3) He ordered me to bind ties of kinship; even if they turn away from me. (4) He ordered me not to ask anyone for anything. (5) He ordered me to speak the truth, though it may be bitter. (6) He ordered me not to fear the reproach of anyone in respect to the orders of Allah. (7) And he ordered me to recite frequently, La haula wala quwata illa billah (‘There is no might to resist evil, and no power to do good, except through Allah), for these words are undoubtedly from the treasures under the Throne. (Musnad Ahmad)
Note: You should always look to those that are inferior to you in regards to worldly things so that it makes you greatful and appreciative of what you have, and not look at those who has more than you. That will make you wish that you had more and not be greatful for the bounties that Allah has bestowed on you. Anyone who regularly recites La haula wala quwata illa billah undoudtedly is entitled to a very big reward (Mazahir Haque).
