Indeed the people feared you in the matter of their world while you feared them for your faith. Then leave to them that for which they are afraid of you and get away from them with that which you feared them for. How needy they are for that which you dissuade them from and how needless you are of that which they deny you. Even if the skies and the earth were closed to an individual and [then] he feared Allah, Allah would most certainly open a way for him in them. So let nothing give you comfort but the truth and let nothing distress you except falsehood. If you would have accepted their world [and its attractions] they would have loved you, and if you had shared in it they would have given you asylum.

20 يا أباذَرّ إنَّكَ (إنْ) غُضِبْتَ لِلّهِ فَارْجُ مَنْ غُضِبْتَ لَهُ، إنَّ القَوْمَ خافُوكَ على دُنْياهُمْ وخِفْتَهُم على دينِكَ،فَاتْرُكْ في أيْديهِمْ ما خافُوكَ عَلَيْهِ، واهْرُبْ مِنْهُمْ بِما خِفْتَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ، فَما أحْوَجَهُمْ إلى ما مَنَعْتَهُمْ، وما أغْناكَ عَمَّا مَنَعُوكَ، وَلَوْ أنَّ السَّمواتِ والأرضَ كانَتا على عَبْد رَتْقاً ثُمَّ اتَّقَى اللّهَ لَجَعلَ لَهُ مِنْهُما مَخْرَجاً، فلا يُؤْنِسَنَّكَ إلاَّ الحَقُّ، ولا يُوحِشَنَّكَ إلاَّ الباطِلُ، فَلَو قَبِلْتَ دُنياهُمْ لأَحَبُّوكَ، ولَوْ قَرَضْتَ مِنْها لأَمِنُوكَ.
