[Machine] When the grave of Qubrus was opened and its people were scattered, some of them cried to each other. I saw Abu Darda sitting alone, crying. So I said, "O Abu Darda, what makes you cry on a day when Allah has honored Islam and its people?" He said, "Woe to you, O Jubayr. How insignificant is creation in the sight of Allah when they abandon His command and become a weakened Ummah, visibly dominated by others. They have forsaken the command of Allah, so they have become what you see."  

لَمَّا فُتِحَتْ قُبْرُسُ وَفُرِّقَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِهَا فَبَكَى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ جَالِسًا وَحْدَهُ يَبْكِي فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ مَا يُبْكِيكَ فِي يَوْمٍ أَعَزَّ اللَّهُ فِيهِ الْإِسْلَامَ وَأَهْلَهُ؟ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ يَا جُبَيْرُ مَا أَهْوَنَ الْخَلْقَ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِذَا هُمْ تَرَكُوا أَمْرَهُ بَيْنَا هِيَ أُمَّةٌ قَاهِرَةٌ ظَاهِرَةٌ لَهُمُ الْمُلْكُ تَرَكُوا أَمْرَ اللَّهِ ﷻ فَصَارُوا إِلَى مَا تَرَى  

[Machine] Abu Darda said, "Woe to the one who does not learn once, and woe to the one who learns and then does not act upon it seven times."  

قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِي لَا يَعْلَمُ مَرَّةً وَوَيْلٌ لِلَّذِي يَعْلَمُ ثُمَّ لَا يَعْمَلُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ  

[Machine] Abu Darda said, "Goodness is never wasted, sins are never forgotten, and the all-seeing God never sleeps. So, be however you wish, as you will be judged just as you judge."  

قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ الْبِرُّ لَا يُبْلَى وَالْإِثْمُ لَا يُنْسَى وَالدَّيَّانُ لَا يَنَامُ فَكُنْ كَمَا شِئْتَ كَمَا تَدِينُ تُدَانُ  

[Machine] "Heed Allah as if you see Him, and consider yourself among the deceased, not among the living. Beware of the supplication of an oppressed person."  

لَهُ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ حَتَّى تَلْقَاهُ وَعُدَّ نَفْسَكَ فِي الْأَمْوَاتِ وَلَا تَعُدَّهَا فِي الْأَحْيَاءِ وَإِيَّاكَ وَدَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ  

[Machine] To be hated by the hearts of the believers without them knowing.  

أَنْ يَمْقُتَهُ قُلُوبُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] Abu Darda said: "Indeed, whoever remembers death frequently will have less envy and aggression."  

قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ إِنَّ مَنْ أَكْثَرَ ذِكْرَ الْمَوْتِ قَلَّ حَسَدُهُ وَبَغْيُهُ  

[Machine] Abu Darda used to say, "Woe to every heedless group that speaks without thinking, as if they were mad, seeing what people have and not seeing what they have. If they were able, they would merge day and night. Woe to them from a severe reckoning and a severe punishment." He also used to say, "I love death and they hate it. I love illness and they hate it. I love poverty and they hate it. They hope for a distant future, gather excessively, and build strongly. Their hopes turn into delusions, their gatherings turn into destruction, and their houses become graves."  

أَنَّ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ كَانَ يَقُولُ وَيْلٌ لِكُلِّ جِمَاعٍ فَاغِرٍ فَاهُ كَأَنَّهُ مَجْنُونٌ يَرَى مَا عِنْدَ النَّاسِ وَلَا يَرَى مَا عِنْدَهُ لَوْ يَسْتَطِيعُ لَوَصَلَ اللَّيْلَ بِالنَّهَارِ وَيْلَهُ مِنْ حِسَابٍ غَلِيظٍ وَعَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ أُحِبُّ الْمَوْتَ وَيَكْرَهُونَهُ وَأُحِبُّ السَّقَمَ وَيَكْرَهُونَهُ وَأُحِبُّ الْفَقْرَ وَيَكْرَهُونَهُ أَمَّلُوا بَعِيدًا وَجَمَعُوا كَثِيرًا وَبَنَوْا شَدِيدًا فَأَصْبَحَ أَمَلُهُمْ غُرُورًا وَأَصْبَحَ جَمْعُهُمْ بُورًا وَأَصْبَحَ بُيُوتُهُمْ قُبُورًا  

[Machine] About Al-Hasan from Abu Darda, if you wish, I will tell you about the people who are most beloved to Allah. They are the ones who make people love Allah and act sincerely on the earth. And if you wish, I will swear to you that the most beloved worshippers of Allah to Allah are the guardians of the sun and the moon.  

عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ لَأُحَدِّثَنَّكُمْ مَنْ أَحَبُّ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ يُحَبِّبُونَ اللَّهَ إِلَى عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْمَلُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ نُصْحًا وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ لَأُقْسِمَنَّ لَكُمْ إِنَّ أَحَبَّ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ لِرِعَاءِ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ  

[Machine] Abu Darda used to say: "Whoever follows his own desires and is affected by everything he sees in people, his sorrow will endure and his anger will never dissipate."  

كَانَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُولُ مَنْ يُتْبِعْ نَفْسَهُ كُلَّ مَا يَرَى فِي النَّاسِ يَطُلْ حُزْنُهُ وَلَا يَشِفُّ غَيْظُهُ  

[Machine] I only fear for you the slip of a knowledgeable person and the argument of the hypocrite with the Quran. And the Quran is the truth, and upon the Quran is a lighthouse, like the lighthouse of the path. And whoever is not wealthy in this world, then he has no world.  

إِنَّمَا أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ زَلَّةَ عَالِمٍ وَجِدَالَ الْمُنَافِقِ بِالْقُرْآنِ وَالْقُرْآنُ حَقٌّ وَعَلَى الْقُرْآنِ مَنَارٌ كَمَنَارِ الطَّرِيقِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا فَلَا دُنْيَا لَهُ  

[Machine] Not to complain about your affliction, not to speak of your pain, and not to boast about yourself with your tongue.  

أَنْ لَا تَشْكُوَ مُصِيبَتَكَ وَلَا تُحَدِّثَ بِوَجَعِكَ وَلَا تُزَكِّيَ نَفْسَكَ بِلِسَانِكَ  

[Machine] "To indulge afterwards."  

أَنْ أَلْغُوَ بَعْدَهَا
