[Machine] "Who can guide me to a man who weeps at night and smiles during the day?"  

«مَنْ يَدُلُّنِي عَلَى رَجُلٍ بَكَّاءٍ بِاللَّيْلِ بَسَّامٍ بِالنَّهَارِ»  

[Machine] The example of the person who remembers Allah in the marketplace is like a green tree among dead trees.  

«مَثَلُ ذَاكِرِ اللَّهِ فِي السُّوقِ كَمَثَلِ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ بَيْنَ شَجَرٍ مَيِّتٍ»  

[Machine] No neighbor of a servant in his grave is better than frequent seeking of forgiveness.  

«مَا جَاوَرَ عَبْدٌ فِي قَبْرِهِ مِنْ جَارٍ خَيْرٍ مِنَ اسْتِغْفَارٍ كَثِيرٍ»  

[Machine] No one has been honored by Allah ﷻ except that they have been afflicted with severe trials.  

«مَا كَرُمَ عَبْدٌ عَلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ إِلَّا ازْدَادَ الْبَلَاءُ عَلَيْهِ شِدَّةً»  

[Machine] "Whichever boy is raised in the worship of Allah until it is taken from him, he will have the reward of seventy-nine truthful ones."  

«أَيُّمَا غُلَامٍ نَشَأَ عَلَى عِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ عَلَيْهَا كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُ تِسْعَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ صِدِّيقًا»  

“Do you know what this is?” They said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “Man is the line in the middle, and these lines to his side are the sicknesses and problems that assail him from all places. If one misses him, another will befall him. The square is his life span, at his neck; and the line outside it is (his) hope.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4231)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ خَطَّ خَطًّا مُرَبَّعًا وَخَطَّ خُطُوطًا وَسْطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ وخُطُوطًا إِلَى الْخَطِّ الَّذِي وَسَطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ وَخَطَّ خَطًّا خَارِجًا قَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا» ؟ قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «الْإِنْسَانُ الْخَطُّ الْأَوْسَطُ وَهَذِهِ الْخُطُوطُ الَّتِي إِلَى جَنْبِهِ الْأَعْرَاضُ تَنْهَشُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ إِنْ أَخْطَأَهُ هَذَا أَصَابَهُ هَذَا وَالْخَطُّ الْمُرَبَّعُ الْأَجَلُ الْمُحِيطُ وَالْخَطُّ الْخَارِجُ الْأَمَلُ»  

[Machine] "Feed him sugar, for spring loves sugar."  

«أَطْعِمُوهُ سُكَّرًا فَإِنَّ الرَّبِيعَ يُحِبُّ السُّكَّرَ»  

[Machine] One night, Bittu was at the spring and he stood up to pray. He passed by this verse: "Or do those who commit evils think We will make them like those who have believed and done righteous deeds - [make them] equal in their life and their death? Evil is that which they judge." [Al-Jathiya 21]. He said, "He stayed up the night until what is permissible of this verse changed to another by intense weeping."  

بِتُّ عِنْدَ الرَّبِيعِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي فَمَرَّ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ اجْتَرَحُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ أَنْ نَجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَوَاءً مَحْيَاهُمْ وَمَمَاتُهُمْ سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ} [الجاثية 21] قَالَ «فَمَكَثَ لَيْلَتَهُ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ مَا يَجُوزُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ إِلَى غَيْرِهَا بِبُكَاءٍ شَدِيدٍ»  

[Machine] "It used to be a regular practice for me to travel from Yemen to Sham, like a drop of water. So, whoever brings me one of them will receive this and that."  

«كَانَتْ عَادٌ مَا بَيْنَ الْيَمَنِ إِلَى الشَّامِ مِثْلَ الذَّرِّ فَمَنْ أَتَانِي مِنْهُمْ بِوَاحِدٍ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا»  

[Machine] "Perhaps we taught him poetry in the evening, and he was abundantly expressive, then he wakes up and the sign remains as it is, so we recognize that spring did not lay its side on its bed at night."  

«رُبَّمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ شَعْرَهَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ وَكَانَ ذَا وَفْرَةٍ ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُ وَالْعَلَامَةُ كَمَا هِيَ فَنَعْرِفُ أَنَّ الرَّبِيعَ لَمْ يَضَعْ جَنْبَهُ لَيْلَهُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ»  

[Machine] "The remembrance of Allah is better than the remembrance of men."  

«ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ ﷻ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذِكْرِ الرِّجَالِ»  

[Machine] "There is nothing that will speak except that it will be recorded, and I dislike that on the Day of Judgment I will be found reciting a poem in my favor."  

«مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ يُتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُتِبَ وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ فِي إِمَامِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِبَيْتِ شِعْرٍ»  

[Machine] "O Rabee', O Rabee', but he did not respond to him, so he set off and prayed Dhuhr (midday prayer) with the people, then he returned to him and said, 'O Rabee', O Rabee', but he did not respond to him, so he set off and prayed Asr (afternoon prayer) with the people, then he returned to him and said, 'O Rabee', O Rabee', but he did not respond to him, then he prayed Maghrib (evening prayer) with the people, then he returned to him and said, 'O Rabee', O Rabee', but he did not respond to him, then he prayed Isha (night prayer) with the people, then he returned and said, 'O Rabee', O Rabee', but he did not respond to him, until he struck him with the cold of magic."  

يَا رَبِيعُ يَا رَبِيعُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَانْطَلَقَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِيعُ يَا رَبِيعُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَانْطَلَقَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِيعُ يَا رَبِيعُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِيعُ يَا رَبِيعُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ الْعِشَاءِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِيعُ يَا رَبِيعُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ حَتَّى ضَرَبَهُ بَرْدُ السَّحَرِ  

[Machine] The passage translates to: "Al-Rabi'i used to say, when asked how he was doing, 'We have become weak and sinful, we eat our provisions and wait for our fate.'"  

كَانَ الرَّبِيعُ يَقُولُ [268] إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ يَا أَبَا يَزِيدَ؟ يَقُولُ «أَصْبَحْنَا ضُعَفَاءَ مُذْنِبِينَ نَأْكُلُ أَرْزَاقَنَا ونَنْتَظِرُ آجَالَنَا»  

[Machine] The Rabbi said, "People are of two types: a believer and an ignorant person. As for the believer, we should not harm them, and as for the ignorant person, we should not ignore them."  

قَالَ الرَّبِيعُ «النَّاسُ رَجُلَانِ مُؤْمِنٌ وجَاهِلٌ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَلَا نُؤْذِيهِ وَأَمَّا الْجَاهِلُ فَلَا نُجَاهِلُهُ»  

[Machine] I wanted and then I mentioned 'Ad and Thamud and the people of the Prophet and many generations in between. They had doctors and healers, but no one was left to heal or be healed.  

«قَدْ أَرَدْتُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ عَادًا وثَمْوَدًا وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُونًا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ كَثِيرًا قَدْ كَانَ لَهُمْ أَطِبَّاءُ ومُدَاوُونَ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مُدَاوٍ وَلَا مُتَدَاوٍ»  

[Machine] So he gave it to him, then he recited this verse: "You will never attain righteousness until you spend [in the way of Allah] from that which you love." [Quran 3:92]  

فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ} [آل عمران 92]  

[Machine] We said, "We have come to praise Allah and praise Him with you, and to remember Allah and remember Him with you." So he said, "Praise be to Allah, who you did not come to say, 'We have come to drink and drink with you,' and commit adultery, so we commit adultery with you."  

قُلْنَا جِئْنَا لِتَحْمَدَ اللَّهَ وَنَحْمَدَهُ مَعَكَ وَتَذْكُرَ اللَّهَ وَنَذْكُرَهُ مَعَكَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ تَأْتُونِي تَقُولُونَ جِئْنَا لِتَشْرَبَ فَنَشْرَبَ مَعَكَ وتَزْنِيَ فَ‍نَزْنِيَ مَعَكَ  

[Machine] Rather, I invoke Allah for him, "O Allah, if he is wealthy, then turn his heart towards You, and if he is poor, then enrich him."  

بَلْ أَدْعُو اللَّهَ ﷻ لَهُ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ غَنِيًّا فَأَقْبِلْ بِقَلْبِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَقِيرًا فَأَغْنِهِ»  

[Machine] The spring said to its servant, "Half of the work is on me and half is on you, and I am responsible for sweeping the floor."  

كَانَ الرَّبِيعُ يَقُولُ لِخَادِمِهِ «عَلَيَّ نِصْفُ الْعَمَلِ وَعَلَيْكَ نِصْفٌ وَعَلَيَّ كَنْسُ الْحُشِّ»  

[Machine] It does not exist in my newspaper that I said to her, "Go play" but rather go and say or do good.  

«لَا يُوجَدُ ذَلِكَ فِي صَحِيفَتِي أَنِّي قُلْتُ لَهَا اذْهَبِي الْعَبِي وَلَكِنْ اذْهَبِي فَقُولِي خَيْرًا أَوْ افْعَلِي خَيْرًا»  

[Machine] Spring was given a horse or bought one for thirty thousand. Then he went on a raid, and said, "Then he sent his servant Yahsha to fetch the horse. Yahsha came and said, 'Oh, Spring, where is your horse?' He said, 'It was stolen, O Yahsha.' Yahsha said, 'And you were looking at it?' He said, 'Yes, O Yahsha, I was busy praying to my Lord, and it did not distract me from praying to my Lord at all. O Allah, if he (the thief) was rich, then guide him, and if he was poor, then enrich him, three times.'"  

أُعْطِيَ الرَّبِيعُ فَرَسًا أَوِ اشْتَرَى فَرَسًا بِثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا فَغَزَا عَلَيْهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ غُلَامَهُ يَحْتَشُّ وَقَامَ يُصَلِّي وَرَبَطَ فَرَسَهُ فَجَاءَ الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِيعُ أَيْنَ فَرَسُكَ؟ قَالَ سُرِقَتْ يَا يَسَارُ قَالَ وَأَنْتَ تَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا يَسَارُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُنَاجِي رَبِّي ﷻ فَلَمْ [269] يَشْغَلْنِي عَنْ مُنَاجَاةِ رَبِّي شَيْءٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ سَرَقَنِي وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَسْرِقُهُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ غَنِيًّا فَاهْدِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَقِيرًا فَاغْنِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ  

[Machine] Spring used to say, "There is no good in speech except in the glorification of Allah, praising Allah, declaring the greatness of Allah, proclaiming the purity of Allah, and asking for good from you. Seeking refuge in you from evil, commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil, and your recitation of the Quran."  

كَانَ الرَّبِيعُ يَقُولُ «لَا خَيْرَ فِي كَلَامٍ إِلَّا فِي تَهْلِيلِ اللَّهِ وَتَحْمِيدِ اللَّهِ وَتَكْبِيرِ اللَّهِ وَتَسْبِيحِ اللَّهِ وَسُؤَالِكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَتُعَوُّذِكَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ وَأَمْرِكَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهْيِكَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وقِرَاءَتِكَ الْقُرْآنَ»  

[Machine] "Not every time Allah reveals to His Prophet, you grasp it, and not every time you recite, you understand what it is."  

«لَيْسَ كُلَّمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ عَلَى نَبِيهِ أَدْرَكْتُمْ وَلَا كُلَّمَا تَقْرَؤُنَ تَدْرُونَ مَا هُوَ»  

[Machine] Then he reviewed and recited this verse: "Say, O Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, You will judge between Your servants concerning that over which they used to differ." He said, "I said, what do you say?" He said, "What do I say? Their return is to Allah, and upon Allah is their account."  

فَاسْتَرْجَعَ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ} قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ مَا أَقُولُ؟ إِلَى اللَّهِ إِيَابُهُمْ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ حِسَابُهُمْ  

[Machine] The work of the spring was all a secret if a man came and spread the Qur'an, he would cover it with his clothes.  

كَانَ عَمَلُ الرَّبِيعِ كُلُّهُ سِرًّا إِنْ كَانَ لَيَجِيءُ الرَّجُلُ وَقَدْ نَشَرَ الْمُصْحَفَ فَيُغَطِّيهِ بِثَوْبِهِ  

[Machine] He wore a striped shirt that cost three or four dirhams. When he extended his sleeves, they reached his fingertips, and when he rolled them up, they reached his elbow. He used to say, when he saw the whiteness of his shirt, "Worship Allah, your Lord." Then he would say, "O Luhayma, O doll, how will you be made when the mountains are reduced to dust?" He used to crush it, crush it. And it happened, "And thy Lord came, and angels, ranked in rows," [Al-Fajr 23].  

أَنَّهُ لَبِسَ قَمْيصًا لَهُ سُنْبُلَانِيًّا ثَمَنُهُ ثَلَاثَةُ دَرَاهِمَ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةٌ فَكَانَ إِذَا مَدَّ كُمَّهُ بَلَغَ أَظْفَارَهُ وَإِذَا أَرْسَلَهُ بَلَغَ سَاعِدَهُ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا رَأَى بَيَاضَ الْقَمِيصِ أَيْ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ ضَعْ لِرَبِّكَ ﷻ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَيْ لُحَيْمَةُ أَيْ دُمَيَّةُ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعَانِ إِذَا سُيَّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ دَكًّا دَكًّا {وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ} [الفجر 23]  

[Machine] Then, he tied it to [270] the era, but he did not wake up. Then, he tied it to the west, but he did not wake up. Then, he indeed woke up, and Abdullah returned to his family.  

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ رَابَطَهُ إِلَى [270] الْعَصْرِ فَلَمْ يُفِقْ ثُمَّ رَابَطَهُ إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ فَلَمْ يُفِقْ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَفَاقَ فَرَجَعَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ  

[Machine] "Prepare your device and fix your supplies, be the guardian of yourself, and do not appoint men as your representatives."  

«أَنْ هَيِّئْ جِهَازَكَ وأَصْلِحْ مِنْ زَادِكَ وَكُنْ وَصِيَّ نَفْسِكَ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ أَوْصِيَاءَكَ الرِّجَالَ»  

[Machine] "It seems as if it was spread by the people of the graves."  

كَأَنَّهُ نُشِرَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُبُورِ»  

[Machine] "Give good news to those who stay up in worship, if they were to see you, O Messenger of Allah, they would love you."  

«بَشِّرِ الْمُخْبِتِينَ لَوْ رَآكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَأَحَبَّكَ»  

[Machine] The passage in English is: The Spring said, "Oh Bakr, control your tongue, for I have blamed people because of my religion."  

كَانَ الرَّبِيعُ يَقُولُ «يَا بَكْرُ أَخْزِنْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَانَكَ فَإِنِّي اتَّهَمْتُ النَّاسَ عَلَى دِينِي»  

[Machine] "I am older than him in age, but he is older than me in intellect."  

«أَنَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ سِنًّا وَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي عَقْلًا»  

[Machine] "I have become a long poem, no longer seeking the medicine for its cure, but instead I call upon you, O Provider of Rain, to grant me patience in what has befallen me, and to help me make the right decisions in this matter. And I hope that my affliction will be a sought-after reward, even though I do not know."  

شِعْرًا [البحر الطويل] أَصْبَحْتُ لَا أَدْعُو طَبِيبًا لِطِبِّهِ وَلَكِنَّنِي أَدْعُوكَ يَا مُنْزِلَ الْقَطْرِ لِتَرْزُقَنِي صَبْرًا عَلَى مَا أَصَابَنِي وَتَعْزِمَ لِي فِيهِ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ مِنْ أَمْرِي وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مُصِيبَتِي بَغَيْتُ بِهَا أَجْرًا وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أَدْرِي  

[Machine] "For his family, make me a dish and he hardly desires anything, so they made it. He said, 'Then he sent it to a neighbor who was suffering, and he began to eat and his saliva was flowing.' So his family said, 'How does he not know what he ate?' The spring said, 'But Allah knows.'"  

لِأَهْلِهِ اصْنَعُوا لِي خَبِيصًا وَكَانَ لَا يَكَادُ يَشْتَهِي عَلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا فَصَنَعُوهُ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى جَارٍ لَهُ مُصَابٍ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ وَلُعَابُهُ يَسِيلُ فَقَالَ أَهْلُهُ مَا يَدْرِي هَذَا مَا أَكَلَ؟ فَقَالَ الرَّبِيعُ «لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يَدْرِي»  

[Machine] "Yes, whoever has eloquence in speech, reflection in health, and deliberation in actions is better than me."  

«نَعَمْ مَنْ كَانَ مَنْطِقُهُ ذِكْرًا وَصِحَّتُهُ تَفُكُّرًا وَمَسِيرُهُ تَدُبُّرًا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي»  

[Machine] "From everything, hardships burdened people."  

«مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ضَاقَ عَلَى النَّاسِ»  

[Machine] Al-Rabee' ibn Khuthaym said, "Acquire knowledge and then seclude yourself (for contemplation)."  

قَالَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ خُثَيْمٍ «تَفَقَّهْ ثُمَّ اعْتَزِلْ»  

[Machine] It's udder was not milked and it did not persist.  

«أَرْنَابُهَا فَلَمْ تُحْلَبْ وَلَمْ تُصَرَّ»  

[Machine] "He used to spend two thousand, keeping aside two hundred to spend as charity and give away the rest."  

«كَانَ يَخْرُجُ عَطَاؤُهُ وَكَانَ أَلْفَيْنِ فَيُمْسِكُ أَلْفًا وَمِائَتَيْنِ لِيُنْفِقَهُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِالْبَقِيَّةِ»  

[Machine] "We heard, but they do not hear." [Quran, Surah Al-Anfal 21]  

سَمِعْنَا وَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ} [الأنفال 21]  

[Machine] "That Allah gathers in His grasp, then He says, 'Where are the tyrants? Where are the arrogant ones? Where are those who invoke another god alongside Allah? There is no deity except Him.'"  

أَنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يَجْمَعُ فِي قَبْضَتِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «أَيْنَ الْجَبَّارُونَ؟ أَيْنَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ؟ أَيْنَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ؟ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ»  

[Machine] So we exerted him [Moses] because of what they [the Egyptians] saw of our signs. They said, "Are you coming to us that you may turn us away from that upon which we found our fathers and so that you two may have grandeur in the land? And we are not believers in you." And Pharaoh said, "Bring him to me, and I will hear and see him on good authority." Moses said, "Indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account." And a believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, "Do you kill a man [merely] because he says, 'My Lord is Allah' while he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he should be lying, then upon him is [the consequence of] his lie; but if he should be truthful, there will strike you some of what he promises you. Indeed, Allah does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar. O my people, sovereignty is yours today, [your being] dominant in the land. But who would protect us from the punishment of Allah if it came to us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of right conduct." And he who believed said, "O my people, indeed I fear for you [a fate] like the day of the companies - like the custom of the people of Noah and of 'Aad and Thamud and those after them. And Allah wants injustice for His servants. And O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling - the Day you will turn your backs fleeing, having no protector from Allah. And whoever Allah leaves astray - there is no guide for him. And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allah send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allah leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic.  

فَجَهِدْنَاهُ لِمَا رَأَوْا مِنْ شَارَتِنَا فَقَالُوا أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ تَأْتُونَ رَجُلًا إِنْ حَدَّثَكُمْ لَا يَكْذِبْكُمْ وَإِنْ تَأْمَنُوهُ لَا يُخُنْكُمْ وَإِنْ يَعِدْكُمْ لَا يُخْلِفْكُمْ هَذَا مَنْزِلُهُ حَيْثُ تَرَوْنَ قَالَ فَدَخَلْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ فَقُلْنَا جِئْنَاكَ لِتَذْكُرَ فَنَذْكُرَ مَعَكَ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ جَاءُوا لِأَذْكُرَكَ فَيَذْكُرُوكَ مَعِي وَلَمْ يَجِيئُوا لِأَزْنِيَ فَيَزْنُوا مَعِي وَلَا لِأَشْرَبَ فَيَشْرَبُوا مَعِي قَالَ ثُمَّ طَفِقَ يُحَدِّثُنَا فَقَالَ «لَا خَيْرَ فِي الْكَلَامِ إِلَّا فِي تِسْعٍ التَّسْبِيحِ وَالتَّحْمِيدِ وَالتَّهْلِيلِ وَالتَّكْبِيرِ وَقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَالْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَسُؤَالِكَ الْخَيْرَ وَتَعَوُّذِكَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ»  

[Machine] He used to say the secrets that are hidden from people, while they are with Allah in a valley. He also says, "Seek their remedy." Then he says, "And what is their remedy? It is to repent and not return."

[Machine] "Everything that is not sought for the sake of Allah fades away."

[Machine] Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said to Rabee'ah ibn Khuthaym, "By Allah, if the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw you, he would have loved you."

أَنْ نَجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ} [الجاثية 21] الْآيَةَ فَجَعَلَ يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ
