    • It is reported that Al-Hasan Al-BasrÄ« – AllÄh have mercy on him – once said during the funeral of a man:
      May AllÄh have mercy on the man who works for the likes of this day; for today you are able to do what these brothers of yours, the residents of these graves, cannot do. So make full use of your health and free time before the day of distress and accounts comes upon you.

      Ibn AbÄ« Al-DunyÄ, Dhamm Al-DunyÄ article 53.
      "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 YÅ«nus b. ‘Ubayd (d. 139H) – AllÄh have mercy on him – said:
        I only liken the worldly life (dunyÄ) to a man who, whilst sleeping, sees in his dream things he likes and things he does not like. Then he wakes up (the world ends and the next life starts).

        Ibn AbÄ« Al-DunyÄ, Dham Al-DunyÄ article 21.

            Never does the servant turn wholeheartedly to AllÄh except that AllÄh turns the hearts of the believers to him, providing him their love.

            • Muhammad Ibn Al-HanafÄ«yah – AllÄh have mercy on him – said:

              He is not wise who does not live in a good way with the person he has no choice but to live with, until AllÄh gives him relief from that [situation].

              • calami­ties that af­flict knowl­edge imÄm al-zuhrÄ« said:

                verily, knowledge has calamities [that afflict it]. one of its calamities is when the scholar is left, until he goes away with his knowledge. another calamity is forgetting [knowledge]. yet another calamity is lying about [knowledge], and this is the worst type.

                ibn ‘abd al-barr, jÄmi’ bayÄn al-‘ilm article 684.

                • Stupid: Asking for Quran without Sunnah It is reported that ‘ImrÄn b. Husayn – AllÄh be pleased with him – was once relating hadÄ«th amongst a group of people, when a man said:

                  Leave this and give us something from the Book of AllÄh. ‘ImrÄn said, “You are a dunce (stupid). Do you find in the Book of AllÄh details of prayer. Do you find in the Book of AllÄh details of fasting!? This Qur`Än prescribes those matters, and the Sunnah explains them.â€

                  Al-HarawÄ«, Dham Al-KalÄm article 244, et al with various wordings.

                    O people! Yes, I am a man from Quraysh, but there is not a white man (literally: red), nor a black man amongst you who exceeds me in righteousness (taqwÄ) except that I wish I was in his skin.

                    Al-DhahabÄ«, Siyar A’lÄm Al-NubalÄ` 1:18.

                    • It is reported that ‘AbdullÄh b. Masʿūd – AllÄh be pleased with him – said:
                      This world (the dunyÄ) is [only taken as] a home by those who will have no real home [in Jannah], and it is the wealth of those who will have no real wealth, and it is gathered and collected for by those who have no real intelligence.

                      Ibn AbÄ« Al-DunyÄ, Dhamm Al-DunyÄ article 16.
                      "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 ImÄm Al-Ḥasan Al-Baá¹£rÄ« – AllÄh have mercy on him – said:
                        To learn a single topic of knowledge and teach it to a Muslim is more beloved to me than having the whole world and giving it in the cause of AllÄh.

                        Al-Khaá¹­Ä«b Al-BaghdÄdÄ«, Al-FaqÄ«h wa Al-Mutafaqqih article 53.

                        • It is reported that ‘AbdullÄh b. Masʿūd – AllÄh be pleased with him – said:
                          By AllÄh, he who gives people verdicts (fatwÄ) for every question they ask him is crazy (majnÅ«n).

                          Ibn Battah Al-‘UkbarÄ«, Ibá¹­Äl Al-Ḥiyal article 81, et al.

                          ImÄm Ibn Battah (d. 304H) laments:

                          So here is Ibn Masʿūd, swearing by AllÄh that a person who gives people verdicts for every question they ask him is mad. And [now] if a person swore, he would not be breaking his oath, and if a person said, he would be speaking the truth: that most of the muftis of our time are mad. For you will hardly find a man who is asked about an issue pausing to consider carefully before answering, nor fearing AllÄh and bringing to mind that AllÄh is watching him, and fearing that He will say to him: What is the basis of your answer? Rather, most of them worry that it will be said: so-and-so was asked a question and he had no answer…

                          • It is reported that AbÅ« Bakr Al-Maṭū’ī said:

                            I sat in the circle of AbÅ« ‘AbdillÄh Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal for twelve years while he read the Musnad to his children, and I never wrote a single ḥadÄ«th, I only looked at his behavior, character and etiquette.

                            Ibn Al-JawzÄ«, ManÄqib Aḥmad, article 210.
                            "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 people of knowledge and understanding that I have met in our country, when one of them was asked a question on an issue, he would feel like one about to die. But the people of our own time love giving fatwa (without hesitation). Had they known what they are going to face tomorrow (in the Day of Judgement) they would not have done that. Umar, `Ali and ‘Alqama are some of the best Companions of the Prophet, yet when anyone of them was asked a question, he would consult his fellow companions before giving an answer. But it is unfortunate that fatwa has become the pride for the people of our timeâ€.
                              Imam Malik ibn Anas.
                              "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 Al-Ḥasan Al-Baá¹£rÄ« – AllÄh have mercy on him – said:

                                One who acts without knowledge is like one who travels off the path; and the one who acts without knowledge corrupts more than he rectifies. So seek knowledge in a way that does not harm your worship, and seek to worship [AllÄh] in a way that does not harm [your seeking of] knowledge. For verily, there were people (the KhawÄrij extremists) who sought to worship [AllÄh] but abandoned knowledge until they attacked the Ummah of Muḥammad – AllÄh’s praise and peace be upon him – with their swords. But if they had sought knowledge, it would not have directed them to do what they did.

                                Quoted by Ibn ‘Abd Al-Barr, JÄmi’ BayÄn Al-‘Ilm wa Faá¸lihi article 905.
                                "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)
