EPISODE 2️⃣0️⃣
1️⃣6️⃣1️⃣ Imaam Bukhaaree said:
“And they (Imaam Bukhaaree’s Companions and Shaykhs) used to forbid innovations: whatever the Messenger (ﷺ) and his Companions were not upon due to His saying: ‘And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allaah (i.e, this Qur’aan), and be not divided among yourselves.’ [3:103] And His saying: ‘And if you obey him, you shall be on the right guidance.’ [24:54].”
[Quoted in Al-Laalikaa’ee’s Sharh Usool I’tiqaad Ahlu Sunnah, 2/172]
1️⃣6️⃣2️⃣ Sufyaan Ath-Thawree said:
“We do not know of anything better than seeking knowledge with (a sincere) intention (for the sake of Allaah).”
[Siyar, 7/244]
1️⃣6️⃣3️⃣ Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubaarak said:
“I see every life as unhappy and miserable, except for planting the spear in the shade of the horse, and standing in the dark nights, vigilant, guarding the people in the furthest outpost.”
[Qadi ‘Iyad’s Tartib al-Madarik]
1️⃣6️⃣4️⃣ ‘Abdullaah Ibn Al-Mubaarak said:
“Know that death nowadays is an honour for every Muslim who meets Allaah adhering to the Sunnah. Verily, to Allaah we belong and unto Him is our return. It is to Allaah that we complain of our Alienation, the passing away of our brothers, the lack of support and the emergence of bid’ah. It is to Allaah that we complain of the great calamity that has befallen this Ummah because of the passing away of the scholars and Ahl as-Sunnah, and the emergence of bid’ah.”
[Al-Bia’h wan-Nahy ‘anha by Ibn Waddaah]
1️⃣6️⃣5️⃣ ‘Abd Al-Rahman Bin Mahdi once said:
“I dislike people to disobey Allaah otherwise I would have wished everyone in this world to backbite me. There is no equal joy to find in your scale in the Judgment Day a deed you did not know about or even did.”
[Aldaa Wa Al Dawaa, by Ibn Al-Qayyim]
1️⃣6️⃣6️⃣ ‘Ali Ibn Abee Taalib said:
“The thing I fear for you most is following desires and having extensive hopes (about this worldly life). Following one’s desires blocks you from the truth, and having extensive hopes makes you forget the hereafter. Verily, this worldly life is departing and the hereafter is approaching and each of them has its children. So be children of the hereafter, not children of this world, for today there are (opportunities to do) deeds and there is no reckoning, but tomorrow there will be reckoning and no deeds.”
[Aboo Nu’aym, Hilyah Al-Awliyaa’, 1/40]
1️⃣6️⃣7️⃣ ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab said:
“Do not allow a ruing that you made in the past, to prevent you from reconsidering it and being guided to your senses concerning it. Indeed reverting back to the truth is better than continuing in something false and wrong.”
[Ad-Daaraqutnee, 4/207]
1️⃣6️⃣8️⃣ Abu Umamah Al-Baheli once said:
“In Judgment Day, the slave of Allaah will be given his book of deeds, where he finds rewards for things he did not do, so he asks: O My lord, where did I get these deeds? So Allaah replies to him saying: ‘these are because of the people who backbited you and you did not know about it.’”
[Aldaa Wa Al dawaa, by Ibn Al-Qayyim]
1️⃣6️⃣9️⃣ Imaam Maalik said:
“The last generations of this Ummah can only be reformed by that which reformed its first generations. What was not part of the religion then cannot become part of the religion now.”
[Ash-Shifa’ by Al-Qaadi ‘Ayaad, vol. 2, p. 88]
1️⃣7️⃣0️⃣ Salamah Bin Dinar said:
“Hide your good deeds (from the people) just like you hide your evil deeds.”
[Abu Nu’aym, Bayhaqee]
