Anyone of you who is with me should adhere to five characteristics...
Firstly, he should direct me to justice through the best possible ways which I would not miss.
Secondly, he should help me in doing good.
Thirdly, he should tell me something that no one else can tell me.

Fourthly, he should never talk in my presence about anyone behind his back.
Finally, he should be trustworthy to those who entrusted him. If anyone of you has these characteristics, then he is welcome to be in my company, but if not then he should not be allowed in my company and to be in my presence.
