واعرف ما يجمع عمّالك من الأموال وما ينفقون منها ولا تجمع حراما ولا تنفق إسرافا. وأكثر مجالسة العلماء ومشاورتهم ومخالطتهم وليكن هواك اتّباع السّنن وإقامتها وإيثار مكارم الأخلاق ومعاليها
Be acquainted with the property that your officials collect and use for their expenditures. Do not take any forbidden property, and do not be a wasteful spender. Sit down often with scholars and seek their advice and company. Let it be your desire to follow and establish the Sunnah (of the Prophet) and to prefer noble and lofty character qualities
