Advice in reference to the Book of Allah is to deliver belief in it, act in accordance to it, its fine recitation, humility on account of it, and esteem for it. It is also its understanding and seeking jurisprudence therein as well as protecting it from the misinterpretation of extremists and the assault of heretics.
Advice in reference to the Messenger of Allah is to deliver to people the affirmation of his prophethood together with all he brought and obedience to him in whatever he commands or forbids.
Abu Ibrahim Ishaq At-Tujibi said, "Advice to the Messenger of Allah is to conform to what he brought and adhere closely to his prophetic way through action."
During the life time of the Prophet the delivery of the advice of his Companions was to help him, protect him, oppose his enemies, obey him and spend their lives and property striving to serve him, and this is found in the Words of Allah, "Among the believers there are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah" (33:23). ”You shall believe in Allah and His Messenger and struggle for His Way with your possessions and yourselves" (61:11).

Amr was then asked on what account had Allah forgiven him to which he replied, "One day I climbed to the peak of a mountain and looked down upon my armies and its vast number pleased me. Then I wished I could have been with the Messenger of Allah so that I might have come to his assistance and helped him. It was because of this that Allah forgave me."
