I go look at my knowledge

You backbite people
And distance from many people
Closer to God

And hold on to your religion and your efforts will be rewarded

Look what fell from them
Beat it, grind it, then eat it
Don't ask people anything
Sufyan Al-Thawri, may God have mercy on him, said
You have to earn well
And what you earn with your hand
He is the one who eats people's dirt
To eat it or wear it

He is humble to people
For fear of being caught
The one who gives you some of his money
It is his dirt
And the interpretation of its filth
Nobody tells us anything
Otherwise, he would become despicable and humiliated in the eyes of people

Submissive to his Lord, dear in himself
Rich in people
Poor to his Lord

These are the morals of the believer
He is the best helper and the easiest person to support

You must have them
You have needs for them
And they have needs for you
But be deaf and hearing among them
We are silent

There is nothing wrong with a man retiring wherever he wants
And if it is not temptation
Destiny is good
