A man came to Al-Hasan Al-Basri and said: “I heard you say that if you commit sins, then Allāh prevents you from things. I do all the sins that you can think of and don’t do many good deeds. I have a beautiful wife and beautiful kids and a lot of money and land and am successful. Allāh did not prevent me from anything. How is it that you say that because of sins Allāh prevents you?”
He said: “Do you pray qiyām’l-layl? Do you enjoy your du’ā’? Do you enjoy your ṣalāh? That is enough prevention that He prevented you from communicating with Him.”

How strange and foolish is man. He loses his health in gaining wealth. Then to regain health he wastes his wealth. He ruins his present while worrying about his future, but weeps in the future by recalling his past. He lives as though death shall never come to him, but he dies in a way as if he were never born.
Ali ibn Abi Talib R.A.

"If you can be unknown, be so; it doesn’t matter if you are not known and it doesn’t matter if you are not praised. It doesn’t matter if you are blameworthy according to people if you are praiseworthy with Allah the Mighty and Majestic." - Fudayl ibn Iyad
Imam Abu 'Amr 'Uthman ibn 'Abd al-Raḥman Salah al-Din al-Shahrazuri popularly known as Ibn al Salah said:
فمن أراد التصدي لإسماع الحديث ، أو لإفادة شيء من علومه ، فليقدم تصحيح النية وإخلاصها ، وليطهر قلبه من الأغراض الدنيوية وأدناسها ، وليحذر بلية حب الرياسة ، ورعوناتها
If a person wants to start seeking knowledge of hadeeth or to learn any of the hadeeth sciences, let him first ensure that his intention is correct and sincere and purify his heart of any worldly aims, and let him beware of the trial of love of leadership.

“As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being rejected from something good; I was actually being re-directed to something better. You must convince your heart that whatever Allah has decreed is most appropriate and most beneficial for you.” - Imam Ghazali (ra)
"When people help one another in sin and transgression, they finish by hating each other." - Ibn Taymiyyah (ra)
