asalamu alykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
__________________Ok, i'm starting a thread for general sayings of the Salaf and I want everyone to contribute inshallah. Please provide the source for your post's. It is not enought to say "X" said such and such. It should be probably referenced so that we can all gain the full benefits! Example: Al-Hasan al-Basree (rahima-hullaah) said: Seeking knowledge when one is young, is like etching on a stone [In other words, the knowledge which one memorises when one is young will be so strong in one's memory, that it is as if it had been etched on a stone, wAllaahu A'lam!]. Source: Mabaahith fee Ahkaam al-Fatwa - Page 28 The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Verily rifq (gentleness) does not exist in something, except that it beautifies it. And it is not taken out of something, except that it harms it.” [Related by Muslim (no. 2592)] |

Imaam al-Awzaa''ee said, "Patiently restrict yourselves to the sunnah, stop where the people stopped, say what they said, avoid what they avoided. Take to the path of the salaf, for indeed what was sufficient for them was sufficient for you." [Al-Hujjah of Ismail Abu Fadhl (6/A-B)]

Al Fudail Ibn 'Iyaad said;
__________________Do not feel lonely on the paths of guidence just because few people travel them, and do not be decieved by the abundance of destroyed travelers [on the paths of misguidence]. [The Book of Manners by Fu'ad Ibn 'Abdul-'Azeez Ash-Shulhoob, Page 31] The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Verily rifq (gentleness) does not exist in something, except that it beautifies it. And it is not taken out of something, except that it harms it.” [Related by Muslim (no. 2592)] |

 Awesome thread, JazakAllah Khayr  Bilâl b. Sa’d – Allah have mercy on him – said: Do not think about how small the sin is, but think about who you have just disobeyed. Ibn Al-Mubârak, Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqâ`iq Vol.1 p150 وَٱتَّقُواْ يَوۡمً۬ا تُرۡجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ And guard yourselves against a day in which ye will be brought back to Allah..

Laqit ibn Sabrah (radiyaAllahu 'anhu) reported that the Prophet (saw) said:
__________________"Verily, our Lord 'azawajal laughs at the despair that His servants feel, even though His Help is so close!"So Laqit said, "O Messenger of Allah - may my mother and father be given as your ransom - and does our Lord laugh?"The Prophet sallaAllahu 'alayhi wasallam replied, "Yes!"Laqit said, "In that case, we will never give up hope of receiving good from a Lord that laughs!" [Ibn Majah in his Muqaddimah] ...بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُم بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ • مَا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ إِلَهٍ Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars. Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [al-Muminoon: 90-91] O Allah, Lord of Jibril, Mika'il and Israfil, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, You will judge between Your servants concerning that wherein they differ. Guide me with regard to that wherein there is dispute concerning the truth by Your leave, for You guide whomsoever You will to the straight path. Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You lest I misguide others, or I am misguided by others, lest I cause others to err or I am caused to err, lest I abuse others or be abused, and lest I behave foolishly or meet with the foolishness of others. |

Imaam al-Barbahaaree (rahima-hullaah) mentions: ((From the Sunnah is that you do not help anyone in disobedience to Allaah, whether they be parents or any of the creation. There is no obedience to a human in disobedience to Allaah an dno one is to be loved for that (i.e. disobedience to Allaah). Rather, all of that is to be hated for (the sake of) Allaah, the Blessed and Most High)).

Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Rizq and ‘Ali bin Ahmad bin ‘Umaar al-Muqri both said: Ja’far bin Muhammad al-Khaldee informed us” Ibraaheem bin Nasr al-Mansoori narrated to us: Ibraaheem bin Bashaar narrated to me: Yusuuf bin Asbaat narrated to me: Muhammad bin Samurah as-Saa’ih wrote the following letter to me: "O brother! Beware of letting procrastination take control of you and letting it take a firm root in your heart, for indeed it is the cause for fatigue and wasting (of time). Due to it, aspirations are cut short and appointed times are not met. If you allow this to happen you have let it free you from your resolutions, and in effect, take you over. And reclaim your body from the lethargy that overtook you. But when it returns back to you, your soul will not benefit from your body. And hasten, my brother, for indeed you are being hastened. And rush, for indeed you are being rushed. And be serious, for indeed, the matter is serious. Awaken from your sleep, and snap out of your heedlessness. And remember what you have left behind, what you fell short in, what you neglected, what crimes you committed and what deeds you did, for indeed that is recorded and you will be held accountable for it. So it is as if the matter has come upon you all of a sudden and so you are (either) happy at what you have put forth for it or remorseful for what you have neglected.''- Iqtidhaa-ul-'Ilm al-'Amal of Khateeb al-Baghdaadee إنما الدين بالآثار وليس بالرأي ~ خير الناس قرني، ثم الذين يلونهم ثم الذين يلونهم ~ إن هذا العلم دين فانظروا عمن تأخذون دينكم |
