He said: "O my people! Tell me, if I have a clear evidence from my Lord, and He has given me a good sustenance from Himself (shall I corrupt it by mixing it with the unlawfully earned money). I wish not, in contradiction to you, to do that which I forbid you. I only desire reform so far as I am able, to the best of my power. And my guidance cannot come except from Allah, in Him I trust and unto Him I repent.
Akasema: Enyi watu wangu! Mwaonaje ikiwa ninayo dalili wazi inayo tokana na Mola wangu Mlezi, na ikawa Yeye ameniruzuku riziki njema kutoka kwake? Wala mimi sipendi kukukhalifuni nikafanya yale ninayo kukatazeni. Sitaki ila kutengeneza kiasi ninavyo weza. Na sipati kuwezeshwa haya ila na Mwenyezi Mungu. Kwake Yeye ninategemea, na kwake Yeye naelekea.
