[Machine] That Abdullah Ibn Umar used to only eat food in the company of an orphan.  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ لَا يَأْكُلُ طَعَامًا إِلَّا عَلَى خُوَانِهِ يَتِيمٌ  

[Machine] "To not be available for him, but I knew a people who satiate once and hunger once."  

أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ لَهُ وَاجِدًا وَلَكِنِّي عَهِدْتُ قَوْمًا يَشْبَعُونَ مَرَّةً وَيَجُوعُونَ مَرَّةً  

[Machine] "And he said, take it, for I see you have become saddened."  

وَقَالَ خُذْهَا فَمَا أَرَاكَ غُبِنْتَ  

[Machine] So I paid him, then I bought it from him for one dirham. Then I brought it to him and placed it in his hand. The beggar returned and Ibn Umar said to pay it to him. I said, "Taste it all for yourself." He said, "Pay it to him." I paid it to him, then I bought it from him for one dirham. Then I brought it to him and placed it in his hand. The beggar returned and said to me, "Pay it to him." I said, "Taste it all for yourself." He said, "Pay it to him." So I paid it to him and said to him, "Woe to you! Don't you feel ashamed in the third or fourth time? And I don't even know him." He said, "Only in the fourth time does doubt increase." He said, "So I bought it from him for one dirham. I left and then I came back to him and he ate it."  

فَدَفَعْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ اشْتَرَيْتُهُ مِنْهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَجِئْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي يَدِهِ فَعَادَ السَّائِلُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ قُلْتُ ذُقْهُ كُلْ مِنْهُ قَالَ ادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَدَفَعْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ اشْتَرَيْتُهُ مِنْهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَجِئْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي يَدِهِ فَعَادَ السَّائِلُ فَقَالَ لِي ادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ كُلْ مِنْهُ ذُقْهُ قَالَ ادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَدَفَعْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ وَقُلْتُ وَيْحَكَ مَا تَسْتَحِي فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ قَالَ إِلَّا فِي الرَّابِعَةِ شَكَّ يَزِيدُ قَالَ فَاشْتَرَيْتُهُ مِنْهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ [156] فَذَهَبْتُ فَجِئْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ فَأَكَلَهُ  

[Machine] I entered the house of my cousin's son, and there was nothing in it equal to this carpet of mine.  

دَخَلْتُ مَنْزِلَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَمَا كَانَ فِيهِ مَا يُسَاوِي طَيْلَسَانِي هَذَا  

[Machine] One night before dawn, someone said to Abu Ghālib, "Won't you get up and pray, even if you only recite a third of the Qur'an?" I said, "O Abu ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, dawn is approaching, so how can I recite a third of the Qur'an?" He said, "Verily, Surah Al-Ikhlāṣ (Say, He is Allah, the One) [Surah Al-Ikhlāṣ 1] is equivalent to a third of the Qur'an."  

لِي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ قَبْلَ الصُّبْحِ يَا أَبَا غَالِبٍ أَلَا تَقُومُ تُصَلِّي وَلَوْ تَقْرَأُ بِثُلُثِ الْقُرْآنِ؟ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَدْ دَنَا الصُّبْحُ فَكَيْفَ أَقْرَأُ بِثُلُثِ الْقُرْآنِ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ سُورَةَ الْإِخْلَاصِ {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ} [الإخلاص 1] تَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ  

[Machine] I mentioned a verse in the book of Allah: {And a barrier will be set between them and what they desire} [Saba 54]. He said, so I realized that the people of the Fire do not desire anything except cold water. And Allah has said: {Pour upon us from the water or from whatever Allah has provided for you} [Al-A'raf 50].  

ذَكَرْتُ آيَةً فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ﷻ {وَحِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ} [سبأ 54] قَالَ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ أَهْلَ النَّارِ لَا يَشْتَهُونَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا الْمَاءَ الْبَارِدَ وَقَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ} [الأعراف 50]  

[Machine] When Abdullah ibn Amr fell ill with the sickness in which he passed away, he sent for some people from among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Among them was Abdullah ibn Umar. He said to them, "What do you think has befallen me? I can see that I am close to death." They replied, "You used to give charity to the needy, maintain family ties, dig water wells for travelers, and build the pool in Arafat for the pilgrims to perform the rites of Hajj. We have no doubt about your salvation, and your eye is on Abdullah ibn Umar." Abdullah ibn Umar remained silent. When Abdullah ibn Amr took a long time to speak, he said to him, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, why don't you speak?" He replied, "When profits are legitimate, expenses are paid, and debts are settled, then you will come to know."  

لَمَّا مَرِضَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيهِمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ قَدْ نَزَلَ بِي مَا قَدْ تَرَوْنَ وَلَا أَرَى إِلَّا أَنِّي لَمَأْتِيٌّ فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ بِي؟ فَقَالُوا قَدْ كُنْتَ تُعْطِي السَّائِلَ وَتَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ وَحَفَرْتَ الْآبَارَ بِالْفَلَوَاتِ لِابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَبَنَيْتَ الْحَوْضَ بِعَرَفَةَ تَشْرَعُ فِيهِ حَاجُّ بَيْتِ اللَّهِ فَمَا نَشُكُّ لَكَ فِي النَّجَاةِ وَعَيْنُهُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ سَاكِتٌ فَلَمَّا أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْكَلَامِ قَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَالَكَ لَا تَتَكَلَّمُ؟ قَالَ إِذَا طَابَتِ الْمَكْسَبَةُ زَكَتِ النَّفَقَةُ وَسَتُرَدُّ فَتَعْلَمَ  

[Machine] Enter Sudan, for they are the weakest of people.  

ادْخُلُوا عَلَى السُّودَانِ فَإِنَّهُمْ ضُعَفَاءُ النَّاسِ  

[Machine] That there are traces of the Messenger of Allah in him.  

أَنَّ بِهِ شَيْئًا مِنَ اتِّبَاعِهِ آثَارَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] Say, "Oh ruin, what has happened to your people?" So I said, "Oh ruin, what has happened to your people?" Ibn Umar said, "They have gone and only their actions remain."  

قُلْ يَا خَرِبَةُ مَا فَعَلَ أَهْلُكِ؟ فَقُلْتُ يَا خَرِبَةُ مَا فَعَلَ أَهْلُكِ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ذَهَبُوا وَبَقِيَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ  

[Machine] Indeed, only hunger overtakes me during this month, and I do not satisfy myself except with a mere portion or two portions.  

إِنَّهُ يَمُرُّ بِيَ الشَّهْرُ مَا أَشْبَعُ إِلَّا الشَّبْعَةَ وَالشَّبْعَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] Ibn Umar said, "O boy, cook the porridge until the heat of the oil goes away, for some people rush to enjoy their blessings in this worldly life."  

قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَا غُلَامُ أَنْضِجِ الْعَصِيدَةَ تَذْهَبْ حَرَارَةُ الزَّيْتِ فَإِنَّ أَقْوَامًا تَعَجَّلُوا طَيِّبَاتِهِمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا  

[Machine] Ibn Umar came in with 22,000 dinars in a gathering and did not stand up until he distributed them.  

أَتَتِ ابْنَ عُمَرَ اثْنَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَلَمْ يَقُمْ حَتَّى فَرَّقَهَا  

[Machine] Indeed, the bad does not make the bad clean.  

إِنَّ الْخَبِيثَ لَا يُكَفِّرُ الْخَبِيثَ  

[Machine] When earnings are good, expenses are justified.  

إِذَا طَابَ الْمَكْسَبُ زَكَتِ النَّفَقَةُ  

[Machine] And spending it is better than holding it back.  

وَإِنْفَاقُهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ إِمْسَاكِهِ  

[Machine] "I have never seen a more God-fearing man than Ibn Umar, nor have I seen a man more knowledgeable than Ibn Abbas," Tawus said, "And he would count the hadith word by word."  

مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَوْرَعَ مِنَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَلَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَعْلَمَ مِنَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ طَاوُسٌ يَعُدُّ الْحَدِيثَ حَرْفًا حَرْفًا  

[Machine] I heard Abu Sufyan saying, "Umar used to say, 'Leave what makes you doubt for what doesn't make you doubt.'"  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ يَقُولُ كَانَ عُمَرُ يَقُولُ دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ  

[Machine] "He did not find pleasure in anything from his wealth except what he spent for the sake of Allah. He said, 'There was a time when he used to give charity in gatherings, with thirty thousand [dirhams].' He said, 'Ibn 'Amir gave him thirty thousand [dirhams] twice.' Nafi' said, 'I fear that the dirhams of Ibn 'Amir will tempt me. Go, for you are free.' He said, 'He would go on without tasting meat for a month, except when he was traveling or during Ramadan.' He said, 'He would stay a month without savoring the bite of meat in it.'"  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يُعْجِبُهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ مَالِهِ إِلَّا خَرَّجَ عَنْهُ لِلَّهِ ﷻ قَالَ وَكَانَ زَمَانٌ يَتَصَدَّقُ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ بِثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا قَالَ وَأَعْطَاهُ ابْنُ عَامِرٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا قَالَ نَافِعٌ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تَفْتِنَنِي دَرَاهِمُ ابْنِ عَامِرٍ اذْهَبْ فَأَنْتَ حُرٌّ قَالَ وَكَانَ لَا يُدْمِنُ اللَّحْمَ شَهْرًا إِلَّا مُسَافِرًا أَوْ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَمْكُثُ الشَّهْرَ لَا يَذُوقُ فِيهِ مِزْعَةَ لَحْمٍ  

[Machine] From reading what came after it.  

عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ مَا بَعْدَهُ  

[Machine] I heard Nafi', the freed slave of Ibn Umar, saying that Ibn Umar never recited these two verses from the end of Surah Al-Baqarah, except that he would weep:

"If you disclose something or conceal it" [Al-Baqarah 284] until the end of the verse, and then he would say, "Indeed, this is a severe reckoning."  

سَمِعْتُ نَافِعًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ مَا قَرَأَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ هَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ قَطُّ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ إِلَّا بَكَى {إِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ} [البقرة 284] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَإِحْصَاءٌ شَدِيدٌ  

[Machine] I saw Ibn Umar, may Allah have mercy on him, wearing rough clothing. It was said to him, or coarse clothing? I said, "O Abu Abdullah, I have brought you a soft garment made from what is made in Khurasan, and it pleases my eyes to see you in it. If you must wear rough or coarse clothing, show it to me so I may see it." He touched it with his hand and said, "Is it silk?" I said, "No, it is cotton." He said, "I fear that if I wear it, I will become arrogant and boastful, and Allah does not love every self-deluded boaster." [Hadid 57:23]  

رَأَيْتُ عَلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ ثِيَابًا خَشِبَةً فَقِيلَ أَوْ خَشِنَةً فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنِّي قَدْ أَتَيْتُكَ بِثَوْبٍ لَيِّنٍ مِمَّا يُصْنَعُ بِخُرَاسَانَ فَتَقَرُّ عَيْنِي أَنْ أَرَاهُ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ثِيَابًا خَشِبَةً أَوْ خَشِنَةً قَالَ أَرِنِيهِ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَلَمَسَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ أَحَرِيرٌ هُوَ؟ قُلْتُ لَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ قُطْنٍ قَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ إِنْ أَنَا لَبِسْتُهُ أَخَافُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا {وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ} [الحديد 23]  

[Machine] That Ibn Umar used to revive (pray) from Dhuhr until Asr.  

أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُحْيِي مَا بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ إِلَى الْعَصْرِ  

[Machine] That he served me, so he served me more.  

أَنْ أَخْدُمَهُ فَكَانَ يَخْدُمُنِي أَكْثَرَ  

[Machine] And he passes by a verse in which the mention of the fire is there, so he stops and he prays and seeks refuge in Allah.  

وَيَمُرُّ بِالْآيَةِ فِيهَا ذِكْرُ النَّارِ فَيَقِفُ فَيَدْعُو وَيَسْتَجِيرُ بِاللَّهِ ﷻ  

[Machine] That they should not sell until they cross the valley of the villages.  

أَنْ لَا يَبِيعُوا حَتَّى يُجَاوِزُوا وَادِيَ الْقُرَى  

[Machine] "To be among those who make use of what Allah has provided for them, both in their stomachs and on their backs."  

أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَا رَزَقَهُمُ اللَّهُ ﷻ فِي بُطُونِهِمْ وَعَلَى ظُهُورِهِمْ  

[Machine] What is his condition? They said, "Whenever the Quran is recited to him, he gets affected by this." He said, "We fear Allah and we do not fall down."  

مَا شَأْنُهُ؟ قَالُوا إِنَّهُ إِذَا [159] قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ يُصِيبُهُ هَذَا قَالَ إِنَّا لَنَخْشَى اللَّهَ وَمَا نَسْقُطُ  

[Machine] To marry her.  

أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا  

[Machine] So, why is it not better than that? It is for the sake of Allah.  

فَهَلَّا مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ هُوَ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ ﷻ  

[Machine] I have never seen anyone resemble the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than those who were buried in the land of Nimar, like Abdullah ibn Umar.  

مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَشْبَهَ بِأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الَّذِينَ دُفِنُوا فِي النِّمَارِ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ  

[Machine] I said to him, "O Abu 'Abdul Rahman, your food has become soft and your age has increased, and your companions do not know your rights or your honor. If you command your family to do something to make you comfortable when you return to them." He said, "Woe to you! I have not been full for eleven years, or twelve years, or thirteen years, or fourteen years, not even once. So how can it be for me? All that remains of me is the braying of a donkey."  

قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَقَّتْ مُضْغَتُكَ وَكَبُرَتْ سِنُّكَ وَجُلَسَاؤُكَ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ حَقَّكَ وَلَا شَرَفَكَ فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ أَهْلَكَ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوا لَكَ شَيْئًا يُلَطِّفُونَكَ بِهِ إِذَا رَجَعْتَ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ مَا شَبِعْتُ مُنْذُ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً أَوِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَلَا ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَلَا أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَلَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَكَيْفَ بِي وَإِنَّمَا بَقِيَ مِنِّي كَظَمَا الْحِمَارِ  

[Machine] He has a son named Amir, he is your master, the son of Umar.  

لَهُ ابْنُ عَامِرٍ هَذَا سَيِّدُكَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ  

[Machine] Bishr, Ibrahim bin Saad, informed us.  

بِشْرٌ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ  

Anas said "You people do (bad) deeds (commit sins) which seem in your eyes as tiny (minute) than hair while we used to consider those (very deeds) during the life-time of the Prophet ﷺ as destructive sins." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6492)   

إِنَّكُمْ لَتَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالًا هِيَ أَدَقُّ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّعْرِ كُنَّا نَعُدُّهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمُوبِقَاتِ  

[Machine] As if it were a wheat grain on a pan, and he used to say, "O Allah, the fire has prevented me from sleeping." Then he would stand up for prayer.  

كَأَنَّهُ حَبَّةُ الْقَمْحِ عَلَى الْمِقْلَى وَكَانَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ النَّارَ مَنَعَتْنِي النَّوْمَ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] When a person wakes up, his limbs will intercede for his tongue, saying, "Fear Allah in regards to us, for if you are upright, we will be upright, and if you are crooked, we will be crooked."  

إِذَا أَصْبَحَ الرَّجُلُ فَإِنَّ أَعْضَاءَهُ تُكَفِّرُ اللِّسَانَ تَقُولُ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ فِينَا فَإِنَّكَ إِنِ اسْتَقَمْتَ اسْتَقَمْنَا وَإِنِ اعْوَجَجْتَ اعْوَجَجْنَا  

[Machine] Saalih bin Saad used to say, "Indeed, I am a stranger among you." Someone would ask him, "Why?" and he would reply, "My companions have passed away, and I am left among you as a stranger."  

كَانَ سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ يَقُولُ إِنِّي فِيكُمْ غَرِيبٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ لِمَ؟ فَيَقُولُ ذَهَبَ أَصْحَابِي وَالَّذِي كُنْتُ أَعْرِفُ وَبَقِيتُ فِيكُمْ غَرِيبًا  

[Machine] There was an old lady who used to take some of this beetroot and grind it with barley, and we would eat from it. We would neither have lunch nor dinner except after Friday prayer. 1089 Abdullah narrated to us, he said: This is a book that my father wrote for me in his handwriting, for protection against fear. And I (Abdullah) copied it. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah, which no righteous person or sinner surpasses, from the evil of what descends from the sky, and from the evil of what rises therein, and from the evil of what is scattered in the earth, and from the evil of what comes out of it, and from the evil of the trials of the night and day, and from the evil of every obstinate tyrant except the one whom hatred touches. O Most Merciful! Then he wrote again: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger, His punishment, and the evil deeds of His slaves, and from the whisperings of devils, and that they come near. O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and all that they shade, and Lord of the seven earths and all that they carry, and Lord of the devils and all that they lead astray. And he mentioned something that he learned from the Ruqyah, and I heard him saying to the beetle, "May the enemies of Allah be dispersed and the splendor of Allah be exalted." I think he said, "And may the enemy of Allah be humiliated." Abu Abdur Rahman Abdullah said, my father said, and some of this speech is from Abu Nadr.  

عَجُوزٌ لَنَا كَانَتْ تَأْخُذُ مِنْ هَذَا السِّلْقِ فَتَفْرُكُهُ بِشَعِيرٍ فَنَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ وَمَا كُنَّا نَتَغَدَّى وَلَا نَقِيلُ إِلَّا بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ 1089 حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ هَذَا كِتَابٌ كَتَبَهُ إِلَيَّ أَبِي بِخَطِّهِ لِلْفَزَعِ وَنَسَخْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلَا فَاجِرٌ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ ثُمَّ كَتَبَ أَيْضًا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظْلَلْنَ وَرَبَّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَقْلَلْنَ وَرَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَمَا أَضَلَّتْ وَذَكَرَ شَيْئًا دَرَسَ مِنَ الرُّقْعَةِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لِلْفَزَعِ تَبَدَّدَ أَعْدَاءُ اللَّهِ وَعَزَّ جَارُ اللَّهِ وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ وَذَلَّ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَبِي وَبَعْضُ هَذَا الْكَلَامِ عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ  

The nearest a servant come to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself, so make supplication often. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 875)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَقْرَبَ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَأَكْثِرُوا الدُّعَاءَ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah said, "I have prepared for My Pious slaves things which have never been seen by an eye, or heard by an ear, or imagined by a human being." If you wish, you can recite this Verse from the Holy Qur'an:--"No soul knows what is kept hidden for them, of joy as a reward for what they used to do." (32.17) (Using translation from Bukhārī 3244)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ اتَّخَذْتُ لِعِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحِينَ مَا لَا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَلَا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ وَلَا خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ اقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ {فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ} [السجدة 17]  

[Machine] "On the Day of Judgment, people will be gathered in the most hungry, thirsty, and naked state they have ever been. So, whoever feeds for the sake of Allah, Allah will feed them. And whoever clothes for the sake of Allah, Allah will clothe them. And whoever gives drink for the sake of Allah, Allah will give them drink. And whoever is in the pleasure of Allah, Allah will be most capable of satisfying their desires."  

يُحْشَرُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَجْوَعَ مَا كَانُوا وَأَعْطَشَ مَا كَانُوا وَأَعْرَى مَا كَانُوا فَمَنْ أَطْعَمَ لِلَّهِ ﷻ أَطْعَمَهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ وَمَنْ كَسَا لِلَّهِ ﷻ كَسَاهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ وَمَنْ سَقَى لِلَّهِ ﷻ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي رِضَا اللَّهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ ﷻ عَلَى رِضَاهُ أَقْدَرَ  

[Machine] Upon you is the path and the Sunnah, for there is no servant upon a path and Sunnah mentioning the Most Merciful except that his eyes overflow with fear of Allah. And the fire never touches a servant upon a path and Sunnah mentioning the Most Merciful, and his skin does not shiver out of fear of Allah, except that his likeness is like a tree whose leaves have dried up, for it is like that when the wind touches it, its leaves fall off, and his sins will fall off from him at that time as its leaves fall off from it. And indeed, economy in a path and Sunnah is better than exertion in deviating from a path and Sunnah. So look at your actions, and if there is exertion and economy, then let it be upon the methodology of the prophets, peace be upon them, and their Sunnah.  

عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّبِيلِ وَالسُّنَّةِ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ عَلَى سَبِيلٍ وَسُنَّةٍ ذَكَرَ الرَّحْمَنَ ﷻ فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ ﷻ فَتَمَسَّهُ النَّارُ أَبَدًا وَلَيْسَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ عَلَى سَبِيلٍ وَسُنَّةٍ ذَكَرَ الرَّحْمَنَ ﷻ فَاقْشَعَرَّ جِلْدُهُ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا كَانَ مَثَلُهُ مَثَلَ الشَّجَرَةِ يَبِسَ وَرَقُهَا فَهِيَ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا أَصَابَهَا الرِّيحُ فَتَحَاتَّ عَنْهَا وَرَقُهَا فَتَحَاتَّ خَطَايَاهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ كَمَا يَتَحَاتُّ عَنْهَا وَرَقُهَا وَإِنَّ اقْتِصَادًا فِي سَبِيلٍ وَسُنَّةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنِ اجْتِهَادٍ فِي خِلَافِ سَبِيلٍ وَسُنَّةٍ فَانْظُرُوا أَعْمَالَكُمْ فَإِنْ كَانَ اجْتِهَادٌ وَاقْتِصَادٌ فَلْيَكُنْ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَسُنَّتِهِمْ  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would send out an army, he would reach 'Aqabah al-Wada', and say, "I entrust Allah with your religion, your trustworthiness, and the ends of your deeds." One day, a man appeared wearing a patched garment. The Prophet ﷺ faced the direction of the rising sun, placed both his hands upon his cheeks, and extended his hands. He said, "You are today the best of people, since the world faces you. You are today the best of people, since the world faces you." The man said, "Should I not weep, especially after I have remained until I saw you and the Muslims covering their homes like the covering of the Ka'bah?"  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا شَيَّعَ جَيْشًا فَبَلَغَ عَقَبَةَ الْوَدَاعِ قَالَ «أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللَّهَ دِينَكُمْ وَأَمَانَتَكُمْ وَخَوَاتِيمَ أَعْمَالِكُمْ» فَرَأَى رَجُلًا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ قَدْ رَقَّعَ بُرْدَةً لَهُ بِقِطْعَةِ فَرْوٍ قَالَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ وَصَفَ حَمَّادٌ بِبَطْنِ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَمَدَّ بِيَدِهِ «تَطَالَعَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا تَطَالَعَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا» أَيْ أَقْبَلَتْ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَيْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا إِذَا غَدَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ قَصْعَةٌ وَرَاحَتْ أُخْرَى وَيَغْدُو أَحَدُكُمْ فِي حُلَّةٍ وَيَرُوحُ فِي أُخْرَى وَتُسْتَرُ بُيُوتُكُمْ كَمَا تُسْتَرُ الْكَعْبَةُ» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا أَبْكِي وَقَدْ بَقِيتُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُكُمْ تَسْتُرُونَ بُيُوتَكُمْ كَمَا تُسْتَرُ الْكَعْبَةُ؟  

[Machine] I heard Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari on the pulpit of Basra saying, "Whoever fasts the entire lifetime, Allah will make Hell narrow upon him." He also gestured to us with his hand, indicating that there is a knot in it, ninety years long.  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْبَصْرَةِ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَامَ الدَّهْرَ ضَيَّقَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ جَهَنَّمَ هَكَذَا وَعَقَدَ لَنَا عُقْبَةُ بِيَدِهِ تِسْعِينَ  

[Machine] To be revealed.  

أَنْ يَتَكَشَّفَ  

[Machine] I entered upon Aisha, may Allah have mercy on her, with her share of the ma'sura (meat distributed among family members after slaughtering an animal). She asked, "Who sent you with this?" I said, "Abdul Rahman." She said, "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'After me, only those who are patient will be blessed.' May Allah quench the son of Awf from a sip of the basin of Paradise.'"  

الْمِسْوَرُ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَحِمَهَا اللَّهُ بِنَصِيبِهَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ مَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ بِهَذَا؟ قُلْتُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّهُ لَا يَحْنُو عَلَيْكُنَّ بَعْدِي إِلَّا الصَّابِرُونَ سَقَى اللَّهُ ابْنَ عَوْفٍ مِنْ سَلْسَبِيلِ الْجَنَّةِ»  

[Machine] Weep, for surely the people of the Fire weep and their weeping is not shown mercy, so weep today for indeed your weeping today will be shown mercy.  

ابْكُوا فَإِنَّ أَهْلَ النَّارِ يَبْكُونَ وَلَا يُرْحَمُ بُكَاؤُهُمْ فَابْكُوا الْيَوْمَ فَإِنَّ بُكَاءَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ يُرْحَمُ  

[Machine] We were with our father Musa (may Allah have mercy on him) on a journey when he heard people talking loudly. He said to me, "O Anas, come and let us remember our Lord, for these people are almost destroying themselves with their tongues." I asked, "O Anas, why are people so preoccupied with this worldly life and have neglected the hereafter?" He replied, "The desires and Satan have misled them." I said, "By Allah, they have been hastened in this worldly life and delayed in the hereafter. If only they could truly see, they would not go astray nor deviate."  

كُنَّا مَعَ أَبِي مُوسَى رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي مَسِيرٍ لَهُ فَسَمِعَ النَّاسَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَسَمِعَ فَصَاحَةً فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَنَسُ هَلُمَّ فَلْنَذْكُرْ رَبَّنَا ﷻ فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ يَكَادُ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنْ يَفْرِيَ الْأَدِيمَ بِلِسَانِهِ قَالَ يَا أَنَسُ مَا بَطَّأَ بِالنَّاسِ عَنِ الْآخِرَةِ وَمَا ثَبَرَهُمْ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ الشَّهَوَاتُ وَالشَّيْطَانُ قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ وَلَكِنْ عُجِّلَتْ لَهُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَأُخِّرَتِ الْآخِرَةُ وَلَوْ عَايَنُوا مَا عَدَلُوا وَلَا مَيَّلُوا
