O he who is busy with his dunya!
Whom illusions of a long lifetime have deluded
Was he not in a state of heedlessness
Until his appointed time drew near?
Verily death arrives suddenly
And the Grave is the collection-box of actions
Be patient over the dunya and its hardships
No death is there except at one’s appointed time



[from imam ibn hajar al-asqalaani's (rahimahullah) "Preparing for the Hereafter"​

Abu Haatim Muhammad Ibn Idris related that he heard Abu Q'abissa saying that he had seen in his dream Suyan Ath-Thawri and asked him what Allah has made of him:

He Answered:



"I looked strugglingly at my Lord; He then said to me
Enjoy my being contented with you, Ibn Said.
You have been awake worshipping at the dark night,
With longing tears and a lover's heart.
Choose before you whatever you like,
And ask still for more. I shall not be far from you."​

The old man had shed some of his grinding teeth and was therefore slow in eating, while the youth was swallowing up of the loaf and then sat aside complaining of his love, leaving the old man suffering in hunger. The youth was called Ga'afar... and the old man composed the following poetry:


What arose my doubt about Ga'afar is that Ga'afar
Swallows up the loaf and cries as having lost a camel
I told him that if he were indeed in love, he would not be glutton;
For love would have made him forget such gluttony
​

​
 
"I like the righteous though i am not one of them,
So as I may be favoured for their sake with intercession,
And I dislike those whose trade is disobedience,
Though we are altogether in the same trade


[Imam Ash-Shafiee]​
 
The poetry of Umayr as he threw his dates away rushing for martyrdome:

​

Hurrying unto Allaah without provision
Save piety and work for the Hereafter,

And endurance of struggle for the cause of Allaah.
Any provision is bound to depletion.
Save piety, goodness, and right guidance!



​



Hassan Ibn Thabit, the poet of Rasoolullah, writes about our beloved Rasool Sallallahi alaihi wasallaam:
​

When i beheld his halo shining
I covered my eyes with my hand for protection,
Fearing for my sight of his glory.
I can look at him only in glimpses:
A soul of light in a moonlike body.
Same as an ornament framed out of bright stars.

Malik Ibn Dinar rahmatullahi alayh said: "Once i forgot my prayers and fell asleep. I saw in my dreams an extremely beautiful girl with a sheet (of paper) in her hand, asking me if I was literate. Answering her in yes, she gave it to me, and I found written therein:


Having pleasures and aspirations distracted you
From the fair nymphs of Heaven,
Where you would immortally live
And play with fair girls in Paradise?
Get up of your sleep! Better for you
To pray and recite Qur'an rather then to sleep !​

What's gluttony?

Rest are brill Mashaa Allaah
 
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Gluttony is taking far more food then you require whilst others are in need of it...
 
:salamext:

Isn't that like how some people get depressed in love and end up over eating in their depression?
