Anas ibn malik reported that the Prophet ﷺ said to him:

“Young man, if you are able every morning and evening to remove any malice in your heart towards anyone, do so.”

Then, the Prophet said to me, “Young man, that is my Sunnah. Whoever revives my Sunnah has loved me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Paradise...”

{Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2678; Hasan: al-tirmidhi}

The importance of Ramadan 🌙

It was narrated from Talhah bin ‘Ubaidullah that two men from Bali came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). They had become Muslim together, but one of them used to strive harder than the other. The one who used to strive harder went out to fight and was martyred. The other one stayed for a year longer, then he passed away. Talhah said:

“I saw in a dream that I was at the gate of Paradise and I saw them (those two men). Someone came out of Paradise and admitted the one who had died last, then he came out and admitted the one who had been martyred. Then he came back to me and said: ‘Go back, for your time has not yet come.’”

The next morning, Talhah told the people of that and they were amazed. News of that reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and they told him the story. He said: “Why are you so amazed at that?” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, the first one was the one who strove harder, then he was martyred, but the other one was admitted to Paradise before him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Did he not stay behind for a year?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “And did not Ramadan come and he fasted, and he offered such and such prayers during that year?” They said: “Yes.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The difference between them is greater than the difference between heaven and earth.”

Sunan Ibn Majah 3925 | Book 35, Hadith 33

Habib b. 'Ubayd said:

“Learn knowledge, understand it and benefit from it (live by it); and do not study it in order to decorate yourself with it, for if you live long you will likely see a time when knowledge will be used for beautification like a man beautifies himself with his garments.”

{Ibn Al-Mubarak, Al-Zuhd wa al-Raqā'iq}

One of the Salaf, al Imām Fudayl bin Iyād (رضي الله عنه) said,

“I learned patience from a small boy. On my way to the Masjid one day, I came across a woman beating her son at home. As he was yelling and screaming, he managed to open the door and flee. So his mother locked the door on him. When I returned from the Masjid, I found the boy after having cried and wept sleeping at the door of his home longing for his mother. So his mother’s heart softened and she opened the door for him.” Upon witnessing that, Fudayl bin Iyād cried until his beard became wet with tears, and then he said “SubhānAllāh! If only the servant was to be patient at the door of Allāh, Allāh would surely open it!”

{Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (6/22)}

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Whoever controls his anger at the time when he has the means to act upon it, Allaah will fill his heart with contentment on the Day of Resurrection.”

{Saheeh al-Jaami’, 6518}

Ibn ‘Abbaas said:

“It is makrooh for a man to stand up to pray with laziness; rather he should stand up to pray cheerfully, with eagerness and joy, for he is conversing with Allāh ﷻ and Allāh is before him, forgiving him, answering him when he calls upon Him.

Then Ibn ‘Abbaas recited this verse: “And when they stand up for As-Salat (the prayer), they stand with laziness.””

'The Prophet ﷺ used to recite in Fajr prayer in Fridays, Alif-Laam-Meem Tanzeel (Surah al-Sajdah) in the first rak’ah and Hal ata ‘ala’l-insaan heenun min al-dahr lam yakun shay’an madhkooran (Surah al-Insaan) in the second.'

{al-Bukhaari & Muslim}

Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar said:

'It was said that the reason why these two soorahs are recited is because they mention the creation of Adam and what will happen on the Day of Resurrection, because that will come to pass on a Friday.'

Abdur Rahman ibn Yazid (from the salaf) reported Ibn Mas’ud, رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ said:

“You strive for longer and you perform more prayers than the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ yet they are better than you.”

They said, “Why is that?”

Ibn Mas’ud said, “They were less interested in the world, and more desirous of the Hereafter than you.”

{al-Zuhd Ibn Abī al-Dunyā 237}

Some people came to Abu Hazim and said: “O Abu Hazim! Do you not see that prices have increased?” He said, “What distresses about you about this?” Verily He (Allāh) Who provides for us when prices are low, He is the One Who will provide for us when prices are high.”

{Hilyatul Awliya, vol. 3}

Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Abi Rawaad said:

A man was dying and he was being prompted to say Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, but the last words he said were, “He does not believe in what you are saying” (referring to himself), and he died like that!

He said: I asked about him, and found that he was addicted to alcohol!

‘Abd al-‘Azeez used to say: Beware of sins for it is sins that led him to this bad end.

Concerning the famous hadith: “If one of you finishes the (last) Tashahud; then he should seek refuge with Allaah from four things...

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ القَبْر، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ، وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسيحِ الدَّجَّالِ

some scholars held the view that it is obligatory to recite the dua (Tawus (from the Tabi'in), ibn Hazm died 456 AH, Al-Albani and others)

The poet said about gentleness in seeking knowledge:

“Today knowledge and tomorrow the like of it and through this process the individual will obtain the wisdom he needs, for the river becomes such by the gathering of droplets of water.”

Urwah bin Zubair رضي الله عنه said:

“My Lord tests me occasionally, but favours me daily.”

Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:

“Perhaps losing what you wanted will cause you to turn to Allah, and getting it will distract you from Him...”

{Sayd al-Khatir, pp.59-60.}

Sheikhh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah [d. 728H], said:

“...busying oneself with remembrance of Allāh, is better than remaining silent.”
