Abd Allah ibn Mubarak (Allah be pleased with him), said, “How often it is that a small action becomes great by its intention. And how often it is that a great action becomes small by its intention.” [Dhahabi, Siyar A`lam al-Nubala’, 8: 400]] (repost, got deleted last time for no source) |

 - Truth is radiant -  Someone asked: "How are we to know whether a wise man is right or wrong in what he says?" Muath replied: "A wise man may utter a word lightly, and you feel uncomfortable with it and question it in your heart. Do not feel awkward, nor impel yourselves to agree without questioning such statement should your heart not agree with what the wise man may have said, for perhaps, and should his words be unquestionable wrong, he will retract his expression when he hears the truth from you, and therefore he will correct his own statement, for indeed, truth is a radiant light, and it is assertive of itself." (Hilyatul Awliyaa, Imam Al-Asafahaani (rh))  .

- Race to catch up - Ubaidullah bin Umar Qawariri said," I never missed the evening congregational prayer (prayer with Jamath). But once a guest came to my house and I remained in his company until late. I went out, looking for any mosque in Basra at which I could catch the evening prayer, but to no avail. The people had all prayed and gone home. I returned to my house,saying to myself,'It is reported in tradition that congregational prayer is twenty-seven times more excellent than individual prayer.' So I prayed the evening prayer twenty-seven times over and slept. I saw in a dream that I was with a group of people who were racing on horses, and I was also racing with them on my horse but my horse was falling behind. I kicked my horse to catch up with them but I could not. One of the riders turned to me and said,"Do not urge your horse, for you will not be able to catch up with us." I said,"Why not?" He replied,"We prayed evening in congregation and you prayed it alone!" Therefore, I learned a lesson and was deeply grieved." [Imam Dhahabis Al-Kabaair - The major sins]

- Asking Relevant Questions - In the book Tarteeb al-Madaarik by Qadi Iyaadh(rh) he mentions a story amidst his biography of the great scholar and Faqeeh Ziyaad bin Abdur Rahmaan al Qurtubee, a student of Imam Malik(rh). Here is the exact quote: Habeeb said: We were sitting with Ziyaad one day when a herald of the King came with a parchment. Ziyaad read it and then dipped his pen in ink and wrote a reply. He then rolled up the parchment gently and returned it to the herald to be given to the King. When the herald had left, Ziyaad turned to us and asked, "Do you know what the author of this parchment asked? He asked about the bowls of the scale (Meezaan) on the day of Qiyaamah- are they made of Dhahab (gold) or Waraq (silver)? So I wrote back to him: I heard from Malik from Ibn Shihaab who said: The Messenger of Allah(SAW) said, "It is from the beauty of ones Islam that he leaves that which does not concern him." Then I wrote: Don't worry, when you are resurrected you'll find out. .

- The Essential Questions - Verily a dead man is taken to the grave, and then the (believer) man (or person) sits in his grave without fear and perturbation. Afterwards it is said to him: Wherein were you? He will reply: I was in Islam. He will then he asked: Who is this man? He will reply: Muhammad, The Messenger of Allah. He came to us with clear proof from Allah and so we did believe in him. It will be questioned to him: Have you seen Allah? He will reply: It is not in power of anybody to see Allah. Then an opening will be made out for him towards the Fire, and he will see towards it, some hurling down over others. It will be said to him: Look what Allah has saved you from. Then an opening for him will be made towards Paradise and he will cast his glance towards it and what is therein. It will be said to him: This is your place; upon the sure (belief) you lived and on it you will be raised up if the Almighty Allah so wills. (But) an impious man (or person) will sit in his grave fearful and perturbed. It will be questioned to him: Wherein were you? He will say: I don't know. It will then be asked to him: Who is this man? He will reply: I heard the people say a word which I say (too). Then an opening will be made for him towards Paradise and then he will look to its fineries and what is therein. He will be asked: Look to what Allah has deprived you from. Then an opening will be made for him towards the Fire. He will look at it that some of them were hurling others down. It will be said to him: This is your place, upon doubt you live, upon it you died, and upon it you will be raised up again if the Almighty Allah so wills. [Narrated by Abu Hurairah and transmitted by Ibne Majah. Mishkat Al-Masabih; Hadith Vol 1 No.131. ]

- How do I stop sinning? - Ibraheem ibn Adham was approached by a man who wanted to stop his sins. He asked for advice that will help him realize the consequences of his actions. He was told: If you want to disobey Allah, you can, in 5 cases: 1- If you want to disobey Allah, then don't eat from His rizq (provision.) The man said: Then where am I to eat when every provision is from Allah? Ibraheem said: O such a person! Is it honorable and good to disobey Allah, and eat from His provision? The man said: give me the second one. 2- If you want to disobey Allah, then do not live on Allah's property. The man said: Then where am I to live if not on Allah's property? Ibraheem said: Is it good then, to eat from His provision, live on His property, and disobey Him? The man said: Give me the third one. 3- If you want to disobey Allah, then disobey Him in a place where He will not see you. The man said: How am I to do this when He not only sees what others see, but what is in the hearts? Ibraheem said: o you such a person, how do you eat from His provision, live on His property, and disobey Him openly? The man said: Give me the fourth one. 4- If you want to disobey Allah, when the Angel of Death comes to you, tell him to come back later, after you repent. The man said: He will not accept this from me! Ibraheem said: O you such a person, when you cannot delay death, how do you expect a savior? The man said: Give me the fifth. 5- If you want to disobey Allah, then after death comes to you, on the Day of Judgement, when the Angels of Hell come to drag you into Hell, refuse to go with them. The man said: They will not accept that from me! Ibraheem said: Then how do you expect to be saved? The man said: Enough! Enough! I seek forgiveness in Allah and make tawbaah! AstaghfirAllah wa i'tubuu ilayk! He made sincere tawbaah, and left all his acts of disobedience, and he died in such a state. .

- Sabrun Jamil - Beautiful Patience - Mujâhid said: “Beautiful patience is patience without any panic.” ‘Amr ibn Qays said: “Beautiful patience means to be content with adversity and to surrender to the will of Allâh.” Yűnus ibn Yazîd said: I asked Rabî‘ah ibn Abu ‘Abdur-Rahmân: “What is the ultimate of patience?” He said: “To be outwardly the same at the time of affliction as one was the day before it struck.” (This does not mean that a person does not or should not feel pain or anguish; patience in this instance means that one refrains from panicking and complaining.) "Whoever tries to be patient, Allah will make him patient. And nobody can be given a better and greater gift than patience." (Bukhari: Volume 2, Book 24, No. 548) Omar ibn Al Khattab said: "Whatever hardship befalls a believing servant, Allah will make an opening for him after it, and one hardship will be overcome by two eases." (Malik Muwatta Book 21, No. 21.1.6) Commenting on the meaning of Sabrun Jamîl, i.e, beautiful patience, in the verse : "So be patient with a good (i.e, beautiful) patience." (Quran Ma'aarij 70:5) Qays ibn al-Hajjâj said: “The person who is suffering from some affliction should behave in such a way that nobody is able to distinguish him from others (Ibn Qayyim) . .

- The least torture in Hell- The severity of its heat, and their variation in it: An-Nu`man ibn Bashir (RA) narrated that he heard the Prophet(SAW) say: “The least torture in the Hell on the Day of Judgment is that of a man whose foot sole is laid on a live coal which causes his brain to boil just like a boiler.” [Bukhari and Muslim] Muslim narrated in his Sahih: “He does not think that any other person is tortured more severely than him although he is in the least torture.” [Muslim] Abu Huraira (RA) narrated: This fire of yours which burns the son of Adam (in this world) is the seventieth part of the heat of the Hell. They say: ‘We swear by Allah, our fire is quite enough.’ The Prophet said: ‘It is sixty nine times more and each part of it is like the heat of your fire.’” [Muslim] Abu Huraira said that the Prophet (SAW) said: “The Hell complained to her Rabb: O my Rabb! I am eating myself. He allowed her two breaths: One in winter and the other one in summer, and that is why you feel the heat in Summer and the cold in Winter.” (Bukhari and Muslim) Samura narrated that he heard the Prophet, (SAW), said: Fire holds some to their ankle bones, some to their knees, some to their waists, and some up to their collarbones.” [Muslim] This Hadith is a statement for the variation in degrees in the punishment of those in the Hell. We seek protection of Allah from it and from anything that leads to it whether word or deed.
