  • We Take Our Religion from the Companions Ê¿AbbÄd b. Al-Ê¿AwwÄm narrates:

    SharÄ«k b. Ê¿AbdillÄh came to us around fifty years ago, and we said to him, “O AbÅ« Ê¿AbdillÄh, here amongst us there are people from the MuÊ¿tazilah who reject these ÄḥÄdÄ«th [like]: ‘AllÄh descends to the lowest heaven’, and ‘the people of Jannah will see their Lord’. So SharÄ«k narrated to me around ten such narrations, then said: ‘As for us, we have taken our religion from the sons of the TÄbiʿīn, from the á¹¢aḥÄbah. Who have they taken from?’â€

    Al-ḎahabÄ«, Al-Ê¿Uluw. Graded á¹£aḥīḥ by Al-AlbÄnÄ« in Mukhtaá¹£ar Al-Ê¿Uluw article 146.
    "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

    • The Worst Fitnah It is reported that Ḥudhayfah – AllÄh be pleased with him – was asked:

      “What is the worst fitnah?†He replied, “That good and evil is presented to you and you do not know which of them to follow.â€

      "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

      • Three Exhorters It is reported that Ê¿Abd Al-Ê¿AzÄ«z b. AbÄ« RawwÄd – AllÄh have mercy on him – said to a man:

        Whoever does not take exhortation [and is not effected] by three things, will not be exhorted by anything: IslÄm, the QurÄn and old age (graying).

        Ibn AbÄ« Al-DunyÄ, Al-Ê¿Umr Wa Al-Shayb #40
        "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

        • Final Blame and Praise It is reported that KhÄlid b. MaÊ¿dÄn – AllÄh have mercy him – said:

          Whoever seeks praise by [saying or doing] what goes against AllÄh, AllÄh will turn those praises back on him to blame; and whoever is bold enough to [say or do] what brings blame [from people but] is in conformity to the truth, AllÄh will turn that blame into praise.

          AbÅ« DÄwÅ«d, Al-Zuhd #494.
          "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

          • Allied Souls


            It is reported that Ê¿AbdullÄh b. Masʿūd – AllÄh be pleased with him – said:
            If the people were gathered on one plain, all of them believers, except for two unbelievers amongst them, they would join each other. And if the people were gathered on one plain, all of them unbelievers, except for two believers amongst them, they would join each other.

            Ibn Baá¹­á¹­ah, Al-ʾIbÄnah Al-KubrÄ 1:455

            It is also reported that he said:
            The souls of people are allied together (like for like), they meet and detect one another like horses do; those that recognise each other come together, and those that disapprove each other, separate. If a believer entered a mosque in which there were a hundred people, amongst them only one other believer, he would end up sitting with him. And if a munÄfiq entered a mosque in which there were a hundred people, amongst them only one other munÄfiq, he would end up sitting with him.

            ibid.

            It is reported that Al-Fuá¸ayl b. Ê¿AyyÄd – AllÄh have mercy on him – said:
            The souls of people are allied together, those that recognise each other come together, and those that disapprove each other, separate; and [thus] it is not possible for a follower of the Sunnah to compromise with an adherent of BidÊ¿ah ever, except out of nifÄq (hypocrisy).

            Op. cit. 456
            "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

            • It is reported that MÄlik – AllÄh have mercy on him – said:
              It is upon whoever seeks knowledge to have a solemn, dignified demeanour, fearful [of AllÄh]; and to follow in the footsteps of those who went before him.
              "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

              • Verbal Security


                It is reported that Ê¿AbdullÄh b. Ê¿Amr b. Al-ʿĀs – AllÄh be pleased with them – said:
                Leave alone what you have nothing to do with, and do not speak about what does not concern you, and secure your tongue like you secure your money.

                Ibn ḤibbÄn Al-BustÄ«, Rawá¸atu Al-Ê¿UqalÄʾ 1:55.
                "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

                • Wolves in Sheeps’ Clothing It is reported that AbÅ«l-ʿĀliyah said:

                  There will come upon the people a time when their hearts will be derelict of the QurÄn; they will find neither sweetness nor pleasure by it. If they fall short of doing what they have been commanded to do, they will say: AllÄh is most forgiving, merciful (He will forgive us), and if they do what they have been forbidden from doing, they will say: we will be forgiven, we haven’t committed any shirk with AllÄh. Their affairs will all be based on [false] hope, having no truth and sincerity with it. They will wear the skins of lambs over hearts of wolves. The best of them in his religion will be someone who compromises.

                  ImÄm Aḥmad, Al-Zuhd article 1741.
                  "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

                  • It is reported that Ê¿UthmÄn b. Ê¿AffÄn – AllÄh be pleased with him – once addressed the people in a sermon. He praised AllÄh, then said:
                    O people! Fear AllÄh and obey Him, for piety is a valuable prize. Verily the most intelligent person is he who takes account of himself and works for what comes after death, and acquires through the light (guidance) of AllÄh a light for the darkness of the grave.

                    The servant of AllÄh should fear lest AllÄh the Mighty and Sublime resurrects him blind though he used to see. A few comprehensive words can be enough for a wise man, whereas the deaf (who does not listen to guidance) is being called from afar.

                    And know that whoever AllÄh the Mighty and Sublime is with has nothing to fear; but whoever AllÄh the Mighty and Sublime is against, then in whom can he hope after AllÄh?!

                    AbÅ« Bakr Al-DaynÅ«rÄ«, Al-MujÄlasah wa JawÄhir Al-Ê¿Ilm 4:116,117.
                    "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

                    • Just Playing


                      It is reported that ImÄm MÄlik – AllÄh have mercy on him – said:
                      Whatever you fool around with, don’t fool around with your dīn (religion).

                      Al-LÄlakÄʾī, Sharḥ ʾUṣūl ʾIÊ¿tiqÄd Ahl Al-Sunnah 1:163
                      "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

                      • It is reported that MasrÅ«q – AllÄh have mercy him – said: There is no house better for the believer than the niche of his grave, for then he will rest from the worries of this world, and be secured from the punishment of AllÄh.

                        Ibid. #87
                        "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

                        • Speech Therapy [Exhortation] It is reported that a man saw Ibn Ê¿AbbÄs – AllÄh be pleased with them – holding the tip of his tongue saying:

                          Woe to you, say what is good and you will reap gain, and be silent from speaking evil and you will be safe.

                          The man asked him:

                          O Ibn Ê¿AbbÄs, what is the matter that I see you holding the tip of your tongue saying such-and-such?

                          He replied:

                          It has reached me that the servant of AllÄh will not be as angry at anything on the Day of Resurrection as he will be at his tongue.

                          ImÄm Aḥmad, Al-Zuhd p236
                          "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

                            Tawakkul (reliance and trust in Allah) comprehends all of ĪmÄn.

                            HunÄd b. Al-SarÄ«, Al-Zuhd #534.

                            • Aḥmad b. YÅ«nus reports:
                              I saw Zuhayr b. MuÊ¿Äwiyah come to ZÄʾidah b. QudÄmah (d.160H) and speak to him to get him to narrate ḥadÄ«th to a man, so ZÄʾidah asked, Is he from Ahl Al-Sunnah? Zuhayr replied, I do not know that he has any bidÊ¿ah. ZÄʾidah said, No, that is another matter! Is he from Ahl Al-Sunnah? Zuhayr said, Since when have people become like this? ZÄʾidah replied, Since when did people curse AbÅ« Bakr and Ê¿Umar?!

                              • Sometimes the Manners Surpassed Knowledge


                                It is reported that ImÄm Al-ZuhrÄ« – AllÄh have mercy on him – said:
                                We used to sometimes come to a scholar and what we learned of his manners was more beloved to us than the knowledge we took from him.

                                AbÅ« NuÊ¿aym, Ḥilyatu Al-ʾAwliyÄʾ #4575
