2️⃣8️⃣1️⃣ Al-Hasan Al-Basree said:
“The life of this world is made up of three days: yesterday has gone with all that was done; tomorrow, you may never reach; but today is for you so do what you should do today.”
[Al-Bayhaqî, Al-Zuhd Al-Kabeer, p.197]
2️⃣8️⃣2️⃣ A man once asked Aboo Al-Dardaa’ for advice, so he said:
“Remember Allaah in good times and He will mention you in hard times. When you remember those who have passed away, consider yourself like one of them. And when you think of involving yourself in some worldly matter, consider first what it will lead to in the end.”
[Al-Dhahabî in Siyar A’lâm Al-Nubalâ’, under the biography of Abû Al-Dardâ’]
2️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ ‘Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ud said:
“A memoriser of the Qur’aan should be known for his long night prayers when people are asleep, his fasting when people are eating, his saddness when people are happy, his silence when people are talking nonsense, and his humbleness when people are not. He should be wise, gentle and not talk to much: he should not be rude, negligent, clamorous, nor hot tempered.”
[Ibn Al Jawzee, Sifaat As-Safwa: 1/413]
2️⃣8️⃣4️⃣ Ibn Kathir says in his Tafsir:
“A characteristic of the dunya is that it flees from the one who chases her, and it chases the one who flees from her.”
[Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 4/197]
2️⃣8️⃣5️⃣ Jesus, the son of Mary, said:
“The example of a person who seeks dunya is like that of a person who drinks (salt) water from the ocean. The more he drinks, the thirstier he gets, until he is killed by it!”
[Kitaab Dham Ad-Dunya, 3/342]
2️⃣8️⃣6️⃣ Wahb Bin Munbih said:
“The example of the dunya (worldly life) and hereafter is like the example of a man who has two wives. If he pleases one of them, the other one will be displeased.”
[Kitaab Dham Ad-Dunya, 1/119]
2️⃣8️⃣7️⃣ Al-Hasan Al-Basree said:
“A man from amongst them (the Sahaabah) would seek knowledge until it was readily seen from his khushoo’ (humbleness), his zuhd (asceticism), his speech and sight.”
[Siyar A’laam al-Nubalaa’]
2️⃣8️⃣8️⃣ Sufyaan Ath-Thawree said:
“A person who sits with a heretic (an adherent of bid’ah) will not escape one of three things: (1) Either he will become a trial (fitnah) for others, (2) Or some deviation will occur in his heart and he will slip and be cast into the Fire by Allaah, (3) Or he will say to himself, ‘By Allaah, I don’t care what they say, I am confident about myself,’ but whoever feels secure from Allaah about his religion even for the blinking of an eye, Allaah will take his religion away from him.”
[Ibn Waddâh, Al-Bida’ p125]
2️⃣8️⃣9️⃣ al-Khatib al-Baghdaadee said:
“To the ‘aalim, ignorance is seen as ignorance and to the jaahil (grossly ignorant), knowledge is seen as ignorance.”
