Malik related to me from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his fatherfrom Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, said, "Allah is pleased with three things from you,and He is angry with three things from you. He is pleased that youworship Him and do not associate anything with Him, and that you takehold of the rope of Allah altogether, and that you give good counselto the one to whom Allah gives command over you. He is angry with youfor gossip, squandering property, and asking too many questions."
