And do not argue with the People of the Book except in a way that is best, except with those among them who are unjust

The best hadith is the Book of God, the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad, the worst of matters are newly invented matters, and every innovation is misguidance

Stay away from your homeland in pursuit of glory and travel. For travel there are five benefits that relieve worries, gain livelihood, knowledge, etiquette, and the companionship of a proud person.

Wealth is not the abundance of wealth, but wealth is the wealth of the soul

A person follows the religion of his friend, so let each one of you see who he thinks he is

And God knows that I have never seen anyone with a better life than him, despite the narrowness of living, the opposite of luxury and bliss, or even the opposite of it, and the imprisonment, threats, and exhaustion that he experienced. And yet, he is one of the kindest people in life, the most open-hearted, the strongest in the heart, and the most captivating in the soul. The look of bliss appears on his face.

Living all in the fun babysitter

And I have people who I hope will talk to. They are kind and trustworthy, both in person and in sight. If our society, their good conversation helps to ward off worries and support. Do not sit with those who, if you visit them, are depressed and sad. You want comfort with them. They will return you to your source, even more depressed and sad, and you would have been in your best state if you had not come to them. It is as if their only mission is to inflate sorrows and increase the pressure of distress until the soul does not find a breath to comfort it.

If you make broth, add more water and scoop some of it to your neighbors

Do not despise any act of kindness, even if you give the rope a tie, even if you give the width of a sandal, even if you take out your bucket in the watering can, even if you move something out of people’s way to annoy them, even if you meet your brother with your face turned towards him, even if you meet your brother and greet him, even if you comfort two wild animals on the ground.

The most beloved people to God are the ones who benefit people, and the most beloved deeds to God Almighty are the joy they bring to a Muslim that relieves him of distress, pays off his debt, or drives away hunger from him. And for me to walk with a brother in need is more beloved to me than to seclude myself in this mosque for a month, meaning the mosque in Medina.

No servant has ever said when he is afflicted with worry or sadness, O God, I am your servant, the son of your servant, the son of your female slave, my forelock is in your hand, I carry on with your judgment, justice in your decree, I ask you with every name that is yours that you have named yourself with, or revealed in your book, or taught to anyone of your creation, or preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with you, that you make the Qur’an the spring of my heart and the removal of my sorrow and the departure of my worries, unless God removes his worry and replaces his sorrow with joy.

The eyes shed tears and the heart grieves, and we only say what pleases our Lord, and we are saddened by your separation, O Abraham

If a servant’s child dies, God says to His angels, “You have captured my servant’s child,” and they say, “Yes.” He says, “You have captured the fruit of his heart.” They say, “Yes.” He says, “What did my servant say?” They say, “Praise be to you, and take it back.” Then God says, “Build a house for my servant in Paradise and call it the House of Praise.”

Every soul will taste death, then to Us you will be returned

Do not curse the mother-in-law, for it removes the sins of the sons of Adam just as the furnace removes the impurities from iron

God is great, I was given Persia, and by God, I can see the white palace of Al-Mada'in now

The man before you used to dig for himself in the ground, and a saw would be placed in it, and it would be put on his head and split in two, and that would not keep him from his religion. He would comb with iron combs what was beneath his flesh, whether bone or sinew, and that would not turn him away from his religion.
