In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The life of authority between words and deeds
Honesty with God
Bakr bin Abdullah, may God have mercy on him, said
Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him
He did not favor people because he was the one who prayed and fasted the most
Rather, he favored them with something that was in his heart
On the authority of Abdullah bin Masoud, may God be pleased with him, he said
You pray longer and are more diligent than the Companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
And they were better than you
He was told nothing
He said
They were more ascetic in this world and more desirous of the afterlife than you
Malik bin Dinar, may God have mercy on him, said
Honesty seems weak in the heart
It also looks like a palm tree
It looks like a single branch
If a boy plucks it
Its origin is gone
If a goat eats it, its roots are gone
It is watered and spreads
So that it has an original origin in Yutai
And he kept taking shade
And its fruit is eaten
Also honesty
He seems weak at heart
Then his owner inspects him
And God Almighty increases it
His owner inspects him
May God increase it
So that God makes him a blessing to himself
His words will be a medicine for sinners
Then he says
Haven't you seen them?
Then he returns to himself and says:
Yes
By God, we have seen them
Al-Hassan
And Saeed bin Jubair
The man among them, may God bless him
With his words, he brought people together
He said, may God have mercy on him
Tell those who are not being honest
Don't worry
Abu Zar’ah, may God have mercy on him, said
I said to Ahmed bin Hanbal, may God have mercy on him
How did you get rid of Al-Mu'tasim's sword?
And Al-Wathiq Market
He said to me
Oh Abu Zaraa
If honesty were applied to a wound, it would be healed
It was said to Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal, may God have mercy on him
Who got what he got
Until he mentioned it
He said truthfully
He mentioned to him a man of honesty and sincerity
And he said
With this, the people rose
Abu Suleiman Al-Darani, may God have mercy on him, said
Whoever is sincere in abandoning lust
God took it from his heart
Saints
On the authority of Ibn Masoud, may God be pleased with him, he said
Some people are the keys to the remembrance of God
If they see the remembrance of God
On the authority of Abdullah bin Abi Awfa, may God be pleased with him, he said
The choice of servants of God
Who love God
And those who love God to His servants
Some of the predecessors, may God have mercy on him, said
God protects me
If his prestige increases, his humility increases
If his money increases, his generosity increases
As his age increases, his diligence increases
Sincerity
Condemn hypocrisy and hypocrisy
And fear of them
Omar wrote to Abu Musa, may God Almighty be pleased with them both
He who sincerely intends what is between him and God
May God suffice him with what is between him and the people
And whoever adorns people with what God knows is otherwise
God willing
On the authority of Umm Salamah, may God be pleased with her, she said
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Among my friends are those I see who will never see me again after I die
This reached Omar, may God be pleased with him
Then it became more intense
He said to her
I ask you, God
I am one of them
She said no
I will never absolve anyone after you
On the authority of Hudhayfah, may God be pleased with him, he said:
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, passed by me
I am sitting in the mosque
He said to me
Oh Hudhayfah
So-and-so has died, so bear witness
He said
Then he went
Even if he almost left the mosque
He turned to me and saw me sitting
So he knew
So he came back to me and said
Oh Hudhayfah
I adjure you by God
The security of the people is me
He said
I said
Oh God, no
I will not acquit anyone after you
He said
I saw that Omar's eyes were serious
That is, they shed tears of joy
Ibn Masoud, may God be pleased with him, said
Whoever shows up in this world, God will see him on the Day of Resurrection
Whoever listens in this world, God will hear about him on the Day of Resurrection
Hudhayfah Ibn Al-Yaman, may God be pleased with him, said
The hypocrites today are worse than they were during the time of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
They were happy that day
Today they are speaking out loud
A man told him
I'm afraid I'm being a hypocrite
And he said
If you were a hypocrite, you would not be afraid
Anas said to Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with him
We are entering into our authority
So we say to them the opposite of what we say if we leave them
He said
We considered it hypocrisy
Mujahid, may God have mercy on him, said
We sought this knowledge, but we had no great intention in it
Then God provided after his intention
Hisham Al-Dastawi, may God have mercy on him, said:
I swear I can't say
I never went one day asking to talk
I want the face of God Almighty
Al-Dhahabi, may God have mercy on him, said
I swear neither do I
The predecessors sought knowledge for God
They excelled and became imams to be followed
Some of them sought it first, not for God
And they got
Then they woke up and held themselves accountable
Knowledge inspired them to sincerity along the way
On the authority of Al-Rabi’ bin Khathim, may God have mercy on him, he said:
Everything that does not seek the face of God Almighty disappears
On the authority of Abu Al-Aaliyah, may God have mercy on him, he said:
The companions of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, told me
Do not work for anyone other than God
May God Almighty entrust you to whomever you work for
Some of the predecessors, may God have mercy on him, said
The closest people are to hypocrisy
He made them believe in Him
Mutarrif bin Abdullah, may God have mercy on him, said
A good heart leads to good deeds
Good deeds and good intentions
On the authority of Abu Al-Aaliyah, may God have mercy on him, he said:
The companions of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, gathered to meet me
They said, O father of highness
Do not do work that you desire other than God
May God reward you for whoever you respond to
Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, said
By God, I am neither a believer nor a believer
Unless he fears hypocrisy towards himself
A young man was reading with Al-Hasan, may God have mercy on him
He liked his voice
He said: O Abu Saeed
I have been blessed with this voice
And I get up at night
Then Satan comes and says:
But you want to hear
Al-Hassan said
Your intention when you get out of bed
It was said to Imam Malik bin Anas, may God have mercy on him
You occupied yourself with this book
People shared it with you
So they did similar things
And he said
So that you may know what I want for the sake of God Almighty
Ibn Al-Mubarak, may God have mercy on him, said
I saw Malik bin Anas, may God have mercy on him
I saw him as one of the humble ones
But God raised him up due to a relationship between him and him
This is what I often heard him say
Whoever loves to open a hole in his heart
He will be saved from the depths of death and the horrors of the Day of Resurrection
Let him do more in secret than in public
Ibn Wahb, may God have mercy on him, said
Most of Malik was worshiped in secret, day and night
Where no one sees him
Al-Fudayl Ibn Iyad, may God have mercy on him, said in the Almighty’s saying:
That He may test you as to which of you is best in deed
Finish it and correct it
If it is sincere and not correct, it will not be accepted
If it is correct and not sincere, it will not be accepted until it is sincere
And sincere if it belongs to God
It is correct if it is according to the Sunnah
He said, may God have mercy on him
Quitting work for the sake of people is hypocrisy
Working for the sake of people is a trap
Sincerity is that God will protect you from them
Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubarak, may God have mercy on him, said
If two men recited it on the road
One of them wanted to pray two rak'ahs
So he left them for his friend
That was hypocrisy
Even if he prayed them for his companion
It is a trap
Some of the predecessors, may God have mercy on him, said
Whoever seeks the face of God with his knowledge
May God accept him with a face
And turn the hearts of the servants to Him
And whoever works for other than God Almighty
He turned his face away
He diverted the hearts of the servants from Him
Yahya Ibn Abi Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said
Learn intention
It is more eloquent than work
On the authority of Abu Sulayman al-Darani, may God have mercy on him, he said:
The best way for a servant to draw closer to God
May God see your heart
And you do not want anything else in this world and the hereafter
It was said to Ahmed bin Hanbal, may God have mercy on him
The man enters the mosque
He sees a people and improves his prayer
It means showing off
He said no
That is the blessing of a Muslim upon a Muslim
A life of peace
Between words and action
