Hadhrat ‘Ali ibn Abî Tâlib (karam Allâhu wajhu) said, “He who does not have the sunnah of Allâh, the sunnah of His Messenger (salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), and the sunna of His chosen ones, has nothing.
It was asked “What is the sunnah of Allâh?” He replied, “Safeguarding secrets.”
It was asked, “What is the sunnah of the Messenger (sallallâhu alaihi wa âlihi wa salim)?” He replied, “Being gentle with people.”
It was asked, “What is the sunnah of His chosen ones?” He replied, “Bearing people’s harm.”
