In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The life of the predecessors between words and deeds
Self-accountability
The importance and virtue of holding oneself accountable
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, said
Adorn yourselves before you commit adultery
And hold them accountable before you are held accountable
It will be easier for you in the reckoning tomorrow
To hold yourselves accountable
They were decorated for the biggest show
On that day you will be exposed, not a single thing will be hidden from you
Al-Sari Al-Saqati, may God have mercy on him, said:
Who held himself accountable
God is ashamed of his reckoning
On the authority of Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, he said:
The believer is self-sufficient
He holds himself accountable to God Almighty
But the reckoning will be hidden on the Day of Resurrection
Against a people who held themselves accountable in this world
Rather, the reckoning will be divided on the Day of Resurrection
On the people who took this matter without accountability
The believer is suddenly surprised by something that he likes
He says, “By God, I crave you.”
And you are the one I need
But by God, there is no connection to you
Far from it, there is no problem between you and me
Something is too much for him
Then he returns to himself and says:
What I wanted to do with this
What do I have to do with this?
By God, I will never go back to this, God willing
The believers are a people who are trusted by the Qur’an
And he prevented them from being destroyed
The believer is a prisoner in this world
He seeks to break his neck
Nothing is safe until he meets God Almighty
He knows that his hearing and sight are being controlled
And his tongue and his surroundings
He said, may God have mercy on him
The man was pricking a fork
He says
I know that you are guilty
And my Lord Almighty has not wronged me
Guidance and advice on self-accountability
Al-Rabi’ bin Khathim, may God have mercy on him, said
If you speak
Remember, God hears you
And if you care
Remember his knowledge of you
And if you look
Remember his look at you
And if you think
So remember what is upon you
For God Almighty says
Hearing, sight, and heart
All of those were responsible for him
On the authority of Maimun bin Mahran, may God have mercy on him, he said:
Do not be a pious man
So that he can hold himself more accountable
From partner to partner
And he even knows where his clothes, food, and drinks come from
Ibn al-Muqaffa, may God have mercy on him, said
The wise person must take care of himself
Equal in religion, morals, and etiquette
He collects all of this on his chest or in a book
Then he exposes himself frequently
And it costs her to fix it
This is put to good use
From repairing the defect, the two defects, and the defect
On the day, Friday or month
Every time he fixes something, he erases it
Whenever he looked at Erase, he became happy
Whenever he looked at Thabet, he became depressed
Stories and facts about self-accountability
Omar saw Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him
And the tongue protruded
I take him by the hand
And he said
What are you doing, O successor of the Messenger of God?
And he said
Did the resource tell me anything but this?
On the authority of Anas bin Mark, he said:
I heard Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, one day
I went out with him until he entered a wall
So I heard him saying, and there was a wall between me and him
It is in the hollow of the wall
Omar, Commander of the Faithful, blah blah
God built the speech
Either you fear God or He will torture you
On the authority of Salamah bin Mansour
On the authority of a servant of theirs who was accompanying Al-Ahnaf bin Qais, may God have mercy on him, he said
I was accompanying him
His general prayer at night was supplication
He was coming to the lamp
He puts his finger in it and then says
Oh Hanif
What made you do what you did on such and such day?
A man attacked Abu Muawiyah Al-Aswad, may God have mercy on him
And he said
I ask God for forgiveness for the sin that you have imposed on me
Hassan bin Abi Sinan, may God have mercy on him, passed by a room
And he said
Since I built this
He said
Then he came back to himself and said
And what do you have to do since you have built?
You ask what does not concern you
He was a man who followed Sufyan al-Thawri, may God have mercy on him
He always finds himself emerging from a brick and looking into it
He wanted to know what was in it
The patch fell into his hand
And it was written in it
Sufyan
Remember your standing in the hands of God Almighty
On the authority of Abu Sulayman al-Darani, may God have mercy on him, he said:
I heard Abu Jaafar Al-Mansur crying during his sermon on Friday
It made me angry
I was intent on going up to him and speaking to him about what I had heard from him
And what I know of what he did if he came down
Then I thought that I wanted to go to the Caliph and preach to him
People were sitting and staring at me
The outfit enters me
He orders me to kill me
I will be killed without correction
So I sat down and calmed down
Al-Sari Al-Saqati, may God have mercy on him, said:
I hid my fault for thirty years
This is because we were a group going early to Friday
We have places that have known us
We can hardly be without it
A man from our neighbors died on Friday
I wanted to attend his funeral
So I sent her away and sacrificed my time
Then I came wanting Friday
When I approached the mosque
She told me myself
Now they see you as a sacrifice
And you missed your time
This was difficult for me
So I said to myself
I see you as a hypocrite for thirty years
I don't know
So I left that place where I was coming
So I started praying in different places
Because he doesn't know where I am or anything like that
The importance of knowing one's faults and defects
And kneel with people
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, said
Don't worry about mentioning people
It is a scourge
And you must remember God
It is a mercy
He also said, may God be pleased with him
People love me
Who guided me to my faults?
Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, said
One of you sees the speck in his brother's eye
He forgets the stump in his eye
Bilal bin Saad, may God have mercy on him, said
Reminding you of your good deeds and forgetting your bad deeds
Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, said
Son of Adam
You are not hitting the truth of faith
So that you do not shame people with a defect in you
And until you start correcting that defect in yourself
So you fix it
If you do that
Didn't fix the defect
Unless you find another defect that cannot be fixed
If you do that
Your job was in private
The most beloved of the servants to God Almighty is he who is like this
Aoun bin Abdullah, may God have mercy on him, said
I don't think anyone is devoted to people's faults
Except for his own negligence
It was narrated on the authority of some predecessors that he said:
I realized people had no flaws
They mentioned people's faults
So people mentioned their faults
I realized that people had flaws
Stop pointing out people's faults
I forgot their faults
Or as he said
Omar bin Abdul Aziz, may God have mercy on him, said
A joke from his master
The governors made eyes on the common people
And I will make you my eyes
If you hear a word from me, disavow me
Or actually you don't like it
So he advised me and forbade me from doing so
Al-Fudayl bin Iyad, may God have mercy on him, said
Your business is in yourself
Don't let your business be in anyone else's business
Whoever has his job in someone else
He deceived him
Al-Sari Al-Saqati, may God have mercy on him, said
From the lure sign
Blindness to one's own faults
He also said, may God have mercy on him
Only an ignorant person is aware of the faults of creation
Whoever covers it will not tear it except he is cursed
Self-struggle
Abu Muslim Al-Khawlani, may God have mercy on him, said
Have you seen a soul if I honor it and bless it?
I will be blamed tomorrow before God
Even if I insulted her, set her up, and did her wrong
You will praise me before God tomorrow
He said: Who are you, Abu Muslim?
He said, “By God, my soul.”
Qatada, may God have mercy on him, said
Son of Adam
If you do not want goodness to come except actively
Your soul tends towards boredom and boredom
But the believer is prejudiced
And the pious believer
And the believers still say, “Our Lord is our Lord.”
In secret and in public
So he responded to them
Muhammad bin Al-Mankadir, may God have mercy on him, said
I depressed myself for forty years
Until she straightened out
Abu Yazid Al-Bastami, may God have mercy on him, said
I called myself to God
Ali refused and found it difficult
So I left her and went to God
A life of peace
Between words and action
