"If you seek a friend, Allah Most High is sufficient for you. If we seek comrade, Kiraman Katibin are enough. If you seek consoler, the Holy Quran is enough. If you need work, His worship is enough. If you desire sermon, death is enough. And whatever is said to you is looked undesirable, then Hell is enough for you."
