How are you today?

How are you today?

It was related from Al-Marroodhee that he asked (Al-Imaam) Ahmad:

How are you today (lit. How is your morning)?
He replied:

How can one’s day be while he is required by his Lord to perform obligatory acts of worship?

(How can one’s day be while) his Prophet is calling him to practice the Sunnah?

(How can one’s day be while) two angels are requiring from him to correct his deeds?

(How can one’s day be while) his nafs urges him to follow its desires?

(How can one’s day be while) Iblees is beckoning him to commit all types of indecent, evil deeds?

(How can one’s day be while) the Angel of Death is observing him (waiting) to take his soul?

(How can one’s day be while) his dependants are asking him to provide them with maintenance?

Ibn Abee Haatim(.328H) Rahimahullaah said

"I entered Damascus and came upon the students of hadeeth, and I passed by the circle of Qaasim al Joo'ee(d.248 AH). I found a group sitting around him and he was speaking. Their appearance amazed me; and I heard him saying "Seize the benefit of five things from the people of your time:

When you are present,you are not known;
When you are absent you are not missed;
When you are seen,your advice is not sought;
When you say something, your saying is not accepted;
And when you have some knowledge,you are not given anything for it.

I also advise you with five matters:

When you are treated unjustly,do not behave unjustly;
When you are praised,do not become happy;
When you are criticised, do not become upset;
When you are not believed,do not become angry;
And if people act deceitfully towards you, do not act deceitfully
towards them."

Ibn Abee Haatim said:" So I took that as my benefit from Damascus."
