What is the matter with you, O Arabs? We have not taught people who are more humiliated than you or less in status than you. You are the people of Jalan, chasing camels in the desert. So what brought you here?
ما لكم أيها العرب ما علمنا قوما أذل منكم ولا أقل منكم شأنا أنتم أهل جعلان تطاردون الإبل في الصحراء فما الذي أتا بكم
رستم
▶ Musk Al-Khattab | Episode (60) | From herding sheep to leading nations
Yes, O King, we were, as you said, and more. We were people of ignorance, worshiping idols. A relative kills his relative for the sake of his will, but God sent us to bring the servants from the worship of His servants to the worship of the Lord of His servants, and from the narrowness of this world to the spaciousness of the Hereafter.
نعم أيها الملك كنا كما قلت وزيادة كنا أهل جهالة نعبد الأصنام يقتل القريب قريبه على شاه ولكن الله ابتعثنا لنخرج العباد من عبادة العباد إلى عبادة رب العباد ومن ضيق الدنيا إلى سعة الآخرة
ربعي

Whoever has a daughter or two daughters, whom he raises well and marries them well, will enter Paradise with them.
من كانت له بنتٌ أو بنتان رباهما فأحسن تربيتهما وزوجهما فأحسن تزويجهما دخل بهما الجنة
الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم
▶ Musk Al-Khattab | Episode (58) | Education before education
Let your reform be for yourself first, for the eyes of the students are fixed on you. What is good to them is what you have done and what is ugly to them is what you have left out. Teach them the Book of God and increase their hadith with the noblest and the poetry with the most impure. Do not move them from one knowledge to another until they have judged, for crowding of words in the heart is a distraction to understanding.
ليكن إصلاحك لنفسك أولا فإن عيون الطلاب معقودة بك فالحسن عندهم ما صنعت والقبيح عندهم ما تركت علمهم كتاب الله وزدهم من الحديث أشرفه ومن الشعر أعفه ولا تنقلهم من علم إلى علم حتى يحكمون فإن ازدحام الكلام في القلب مشغلة للفهم
عمر بن شعبة
▶ Musk Al-Khattab | Episode (58) | Education before education
Who is the one who disciplined you with all this politeness? He said, “Myself.” He was asked, “Can a person discipline himself without being polite?” He said, “Yes.” If I saw something good in someone else, I would follow it, and if I saw something ugly, I would reject it. This is how I disciplined myself.
من الذي أدبك كل هذا الأدب فقال نفسي فقيل له أيؤدب الإنسان نفسه بغير مؤدب قال نعم كنت إذا رأيت في غيري حسناً أتيته وإن رأيت قبيحاً أبيته فبهذا أدبت نفسي

▶ Musk Al-Khattab | Episode (15) | A servant whom God has given goodness
The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, sent me in the middle of the night and said, “O Abu Muwayhibah, I have been commanded to seek forgiveness for the people of Al-Baqi’. So he set out with me, and I went with him. When we stood between their backs, he said, ‘Peace be upon you, people of the graves. May you be eased into what you have become of what the people have become. If only you knew what God has saved you from. Trials have come like pieces of a dark night, the beginning of which follows the end, the end of which is worse than the first.’ Then he said, ‘O Abu Muwayhibah, I have been given the keys to the treasures of this world and eternity.’” Therein, then Paradise, and I chose between that and meeting my Lord Almighty and Paradise. He said, I said, “May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, so take the keys of this world and an eternity therein, then Paradise.” He said, “No, by God, O Abu Muwayhibah, I have chosen to meet my Lord Almighty and Paradise.”

▶ Musk Al-Khattab | Episode (15) | A servant whom God has given goodness
O Abu Bakr, do not cry if people trust me with his companionship and wealth. Abu Bakr, and if I had taken a friend from my nation, I would have taken Abu Bakr. But the brotherhood and affection of Islam does not remain in the mosque a door that is not blocked except the door of Abu Bakr.

من حسن إسلام المرء تركه ما لا يعنيه
النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
▶ Musk Al-Khattab | Episode (14) | Piety
O father, Reera, be pious and be the most devout of people
يا أباه ريرة كن ورعا تكن أعبد الناس
النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
▶ Musk Al-Khattab | Episode (14) | Piety
Complete piety is for a person to know the good of two good things and the evil of two evils, and to know that Sharia law is based on restricting and perfecting interests and eliminating and minimizing evils. Otherwise, whoever does not balance the legitimate benefit and legitimate harm in action and omission may abandon duties and do forbidden things and consider that to be piety.
تمام الورع أن يعلم الإنسان خير الخيرين وشر الشرين ويعلم أن الشريعة مبناها على تحصير المصالح وتكميلها وتعطيل المفاسد وتقليلها وإلا فمن لم يوازن ما في الفعل والترك من المصلحة الشرعية والمفسدة الشرعية فقد يدعو الواجبات ويفعل المحرمات ويرى ذلك من الورع
ابن تيمية
▶ Musk Al-Khattab | Episode (14) | Piety

وتجدون شر الناس ذا الوجهين الذي يأتي هؤلاء بوجه وهؤلاء بوجه
رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
▶ Musk Al-Khattab | Episode (13) | Faces and masks
The two-faced person is the worst of people because his condition is that of a hypocrite, as he flatters falsehood and lying as a gateway to corruption among people.

▶ Musk Al-Khattab | Episode (13) | Faces and masks
There is no good in the affection of a person with a colorful, sweet tongue, whose heart is eager to meet you, swearing that he is confident in you, and if he hides from you, then he is a Scorpio, who gives you sweetness from the tip of his tongue and tempts you like a fox tempts him.
لا خير في ود مرئ متلون حلو اللسان وقلبه يتلهب يلقاك يقسم أنه بك واثق وإذا توارى عنك فهو العقرب يعطيك من طرف اللسان حلاوة ويروغ منك كما يروغ الثعلب
