وَعَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: عِظْنِي وَأَوْجِزْ، فَقَالَ: «إِذَا قُمْتَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ، فَصَلِّ صَلَاةَ مُوَدِّعٍ، وَلَا تَكَلَّمْ بِكَلَامٍ تَعْتَذِرُ مِنْهُ غَدًا، وَأَجْمِعِ الْإِيَاسَ مِمَّا فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ».
Translation: A man asked the Prophet ﷺ for brief counsel. He was told to pray as though bidding farewell, not to speak words for which he would apologize tomorrow, and to turn his heart away from coveting what people possess.
Source: Ahmad, as printed.
The three counsels address prayer, speech, and dependence on other people. Each is an exercise in inner responsibility.
