Giving Naseehat to Imam Abu Yusuf Rahmatullahi alaih, Imam Abu Hanifah Rahmatullahi alaih said:

• “In everything (that you do), bear in mind Taqwa and honesty.
• When you hear the Azaan, immediately prepare to leave for Salaah.
• Every month keep a few fasts.
• Daily after one of the Salaats, engage in some Thikrullah.
• Never omit reciting the Qur’aan Majeed.
• Occasionally visit the Qabrastaan (graveyard).
• Totally abstain from (all and any kind of) sport and futility.
• Conceal the faults of your neighbour.
•  Be constant in Amr bil Ma’roof Nahi anil Munkar (commanding good and forbidding evil).”
