True Friend

On the authority of An-Nu'maan Ibn Basheer (may Allaah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

 

"There is no male or female slave (of Allaah) except that he/she has for him/herself three friends.

A friend that says: I am with you, take what you want and leave what you want. That is his/her wealth.

A friend that says: I am with you, when you arrive to the door of the King I will leave you. That is his/her servant(s) and family.

A friend that says: I am with you whenever you enter and whenever you leave. That is his/her actions."
