1️⃣9️⃣1️⃣ Aboo Al-Ashhab said:

1️⃣9️⃣2️⃣ ‘Umar saw a beggar asking people (for charity), with a sack full of foodstuff on his back. He took the food and gave it to the Zakah camels, then said to him: “Now ask for what you want.”

1️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ Qaasim al-Joo’ee said:
“I advise you with five matters: (1) When you are treated unjustly, do not behave unjustly; (2) When you are praised do not become happy; (3) When you are criticised, do not become upset; (4) When you are not believed, do not become angry; (5) And if the people act deceitfully towards you, do not act deceitfully towards them.”
[Related by Ibn al-Jawzee in Sifatus-Safwaa, 2/200]
1️⃣9️⃣4️⃣ ‘Alee Ibn Abee Taalib said:
“Whoever moves a handspan away from the body of the Muslims has gone beyond the pale of Islaam.”

1️⃣9️⃣5️⃣ It is reported that a man was closely watching Bishr As-Sulaimi, who was prolonging his prayer and praying it well. When Bishr completed his prayer, he said to the man:
“Do not be deceived by what you have seen from me. For indeed, Iblees the Devil (shaytaan) (may Allaah curse him) worshiped Allaah for thousands of years and then ended up being what he is now!”
[Bahrud-Dumoo, p.171]
1️⃣9️⃣6️⃣ ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab once said to Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qais:
“O Ahnaf, the more one laughs, the less dignity will he posses. Whoever jokes (excessively or indecently) is a person who will be taken lightly. Whoever does something frequently will become known by that thing. Whoever speaks often, errs often; the more often one errs, the less modesty will he possess; whoever has a low level of modesty will also have a low level of piety; and when one has a low level of piety, then his heart dies.”
[Sifatus-Safwah, 1/1449]
1️⃣9️⃣7️⃣ Imaam Ahmad said:
“Nothing compares to seeking knowledge, for the person who has corrected his intention. He intends to remove ignorance from himself and from others.”
[Majmoo’ Al-Fataawa 26/50]
1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣ Some of the salaf used to say:
“From amongst the punishments of committing sins is that they lead to more sins and from the rewards of performing good deeds is that one performs more good deeds, so if a slave performs a good deed another good deed calls towards him proclaiming do me too!”
[Ad-Daa Wad-Dawaa]
1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣ ‘Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubarak said:
“I borrowed a pen in Syria and I forgot to return it to its owner. When I came back to Marw [in Iran], I realised that this pen is still with me. So I went back to Syria and returned it to its owner.”
[Khatib Tareeh, 10/167]
2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ It was said to Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal:
“A man fasts, prays and stays in seclusion at the masjid, is that more beloved to you or if he speaks against the people of bida’ (innovation)?”
He replied:
“If he fasts, prays and stays in seclusion he benefits only himself, but if he speaks against the people of innovation, that benefits all the Muslims so that is better.”
[Majmoo’ Al-Fatawa]
