To catch a glimpse of his nasiha (advice), perhaps the best place to begin is to see how he advises his own son Shaykh ‘Abdur Razzaq, Rahmatullahi ‘alayh. He advised him to acquire eight character traits that are basic to tasawwuf (spiritual culture).
These are:
Sakha (generosity) of Nabi (Prophet) Ibrahim, ‘alayhissalam
(peace be upon him)
Rida (joyful contentment with whatever Allah ordains) of Nabi Is-haq, ‘alayhissalam
Sabr (patience) of Nabi Ayyub, ‘alayhissalam
Ishara (symbolic instruction) of Nabi Zakariyya, ‘alayhissalam
Ghurba (life as a stranger in far-off lands) of Nabi Yusuf, ‘alayhissalam
Lubs us suf (the wearing of Sufi clothes) of Nabi Yahya, ‘alayhissalam
Siyaha (wandering travel) of Nabi ‘Isa, ‘alayhissalam
Faqr (worldly poverty with spiritual riches) of Nabiyyuna wa Habibuna wa Shafi’una Muhammad Mustafa, Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam.
(cited by Al-Hajj Isma’il ibn as-Sayyid Muhammad Sa’id al-Qadiri, in al-Fuyudaat ur Rabbaniyya, Emanations of Lordly Grace, p. 40).
