[Machine] About Al-Qasim, Sa'id ibn Jubayr used to cry until he became red-eyed.  

عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ «كَانَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ يَبْكِي حَتَّى عَمِشَ»  

[Machine] He used to complete the recitation of the Quran every two nights.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْتِمُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] I went out with Sa'id ibn Jubayr during the past days of Rajab and performed 'Umrah from Kufa. Then he returned from his 'Umrah and performed Hajj in the middle of Dhu al-Qa'dah. He used to perform 'Umrah once a year and perform Hajj once a year.  

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ رَجَبٍ وَأَحْرَمَ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ بِعُمْرَةٍ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ مِنْ عُمْرَتِهِ ثُمَّ أَحْرَمَ بِالْحَجِّ فِي النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ وَكَانَ يَخْرُجُ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّةً لِلْعُمْرَةِ وَمَرَّةً لِلْحَجِّ  

[Machine] Said bin Jubair entered the Kaaba and recited the Quran in one unit of prayer.  

«دَخَلَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ الْكَعْبَةَ فَقَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ»  

[Machine] I heard Sa'id ibn Jubair reciting this verse in prayer twenty-five times. {And fear a Day when you will be returned to Allah. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be treated unjustly.} [Al-Baqarah 281]  

سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يُرَدِّدُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ بِضْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً {وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ} [البقرة 281]  

[Machine] "He says, 'I will repent.'"  

«يَقُولُ سَوْفَ أَتُوبُ»  

[Machine] In His saying, "And do not incline toward those who have wronged" [Hud 113], He said, "Do not approve of their deeds."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَلَا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا} [هود 113] قَالَ «لَا تَرْضَوْا أَعْمَالَهُمْ»  

[Machine] "That my heart becomes corrupted."  

أَنْ يَفْسُدَ عَلَيَّ قَلْبِي»  

[Machine] "I drank it and enjoyed it."  

«إِنِّي شَرِبْتُهُ واسْتَلْذَذْتُ بِهِ»  

[Machine] Said Sa'id ibn Jubayr, "The world is a collection of the hereafter."  

قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ «الدُّنْيَا جُمُعَةٌ مِنْ جُمَعِ الْآخِرَةِ»  

"The swearing of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was: 'No, and I ask Allah for forgiveness."' (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2093)   

«أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ»  

[Machine] He used to say, "How good is Allah's treatment towards me. He takes one thing from me and leaves me with three. And his leg was severed from a bite that came out of his knee. He would say, "And your right hand, if you were tested, you would have been healed, and because you took, you were left.”  

كَانَ يَقُولُ مَا أَحْسَنَ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ ﷻ إِلَيَّ أَخَذَ مِنِّي وَاحِدَةً وَتَرَكَ لِي ثَلَاثَةً وَكَانَ قُطِعَ رِجْلُهُ مِنْ أَكَلَةٍ خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الرُّكْبَةِ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ «وأيْمُنُكَ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ ابْتَلَيْتَ لَقَدْ عَافَيْتَ وَلِأَنْ أَخَذْتَ لَقَدْ أَبْقَيْتَ»  

[Machine] "If one of you dedicates something to Allah, let him not withhold anything that he feels ashamed to offer to His Noble Being, for verily Allah is the Most Generous of the generous and the most deserving of those chosen for dedication."  

«إِذَا جَعَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ لِلَّهِ ﷻ شَيْئًا فَلَا يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَا يَسْتَحِي أَنْ يَجْعَلَهُ لِكَرِيمِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ أَكْرَمُ الْكُرَمَاءِ وَأَحَقُّ مَنْ اخْتِيرَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] "Did you have a need to your Lord? I surely ask Allah in my prayer until I ask Him for salt."  

«أَمَا كَانَ لَكَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ حَاجَةٌ؟ إِنِّي لَأَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ ﷻ فِي صَلَاتِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَهُ الْمِلْحَ»  

[Machine] "My father fasted for forty or thirty years and did not break his fast except on the days of Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha. He passed away while still fasting."  

«صَامَ أَبِي أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً أَوْ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً مَا أَفْطَرَ إِلَّا يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ أَوْ نَحْرٍ وَلَقَدْ قُبِضَ وَإِنَّهُ لَصَائِمٌ»  

[Machine] "Blessed is the one who humbles themselves before God, without any pride, and shows mercy towards the oppressed and the needy. They give charity from wealth earned without sin, and sit with people of knowledge, patience, and wisdom. They adhere to the teachings of the Sunnah and do not go beyond it into innovation."  

عَنْ عَيْبِ غَيْرِهِ طُوبَى لِمَنْ تَوَاضَعَ لِلَّهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسْكَنَةٍ وَرَحِمَ أَهْلَ الذُّلِّ وَالْمَسْكَنَةِ وَتَصَدَّقَ بِمَالٍ جُمِعَ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْصِيَةٍ وَجَالَسَ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ وَالْحِلْمِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ وَوَسِعَتْهُ السُّنَّةُ وَلَمْ يَتَعَدَّهَا إِلَى الْبِدْعَةِ»  

[Machine] The aid to good manners is asceticism in the world, and the closest thing to it being abandoned is following one's desires. And among following one's desires is the desire for worldly things, and among the desire for worldly things is the love of wealth and honor. And from the love of wealth and honor is the indulgence in prohibited acts, and the anger of Allah is the incurable disease for which there is no cure except the pleasure of Allah. And the pleasure of Allah does not bring harm with it a disease. So whoever desires to please his Lord displeases himself, and whoever does not displease himself does not please his Lord. And if a person hates anything from his religion, he is about to abandon it until he has nothing left of his religion.  

«أَعْوَنُ الْأَخْلَاقِ عَلَى الدِّينِ الزَّهَادَةُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَوْشَكُهَا رَدًّا اتِّبَاعُ الْهَوَى وَمِنَ اتِّبَاعِ الْهَوَى الرَّغْبَةُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَمِنَ الرَّغْبَةِ فِي الدُّنْيَا حُبُّ الْمَالِ وَالشَّرَفِ وَمِنْ حُبِّ الْمَالِ وَالشَّرَفِ اسْتِحْلَالُ الْمَحَارِمِ بِغَضَبِ اللَّهِ ﷻ وَغَضَبُ اللَّهِ الدَّاءُ الَّذِي لَا دَوَاءَ لَهُ إِلَّا رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ ﷻ وَرِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَهُ دَاءٌ فَمَنْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يُرْضِيَ اللَّهَ رَبَّهُ يُسْخِطْ نَفْسَهُ وَمَنْ لَا يُسْخِطْ نَفْسَهُ لَا يُرْضِي رَبَّهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ كُلَّمَا كَرِهَ مِنْ دِينِهِ شَيْئًا تَرَكَهُ أَوْشَكَ أَنْ لَا يَبْقَى مَعَهُ مِنْ دِينِهِ شَيْءٌ»  

[Machine] I heard Wahb saying, "A caller without action is like an archer without a bowstring."  

سَمِعْتُ وَهْبًا يَقُولُ «الدَّاعِي بِلَا عَمَلٍ كَالرَّامِي بِلَا وَتَرٍ»  

[Machine] I heard Wahb ibn Munabbih saying, "Indeed, knowledge has dominance like the dominance of wealth."  

سَمِعْتُ وَهْبَ بْنَ مُنَبِّهٍ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ لِلْعِلْمِ طُغْيَانًا كَطُغْيَانِ الْمَالِ»  

وَهْبٌ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ «مَنْ خَالَطَ النَّاسَ فَوَرِعَ وَصَبَرَ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ عِنْدِي»  

[Machine] The entry of camels into the eye of a needle is easier than the entry of the rich into heaven.  

«دُخُولُ الْجَمَلِ فِي سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ أَيْسَرُ مِنْ دُخُولِ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] That he is below him, the elder is safe from him and goodness is hoped from him. He follows the path of those before him and he is a leader for those after him, until humiliation becomes dearer to him than honor, and poverty becomes dearer to him than wealth, and he has more leisure from his work and less of others' work, and his sustenance is sufficient for him without seeking assistance, and poverty in lawful matters becomes dearer to him than wealth in unlawful matters, and poverty in obedience to Allah becomes dearer to him than wealth in disobedience to Allah. He said: "Then the tenth thing is what is the tenth thing? By it, his glory thrives and his remembrance becomes exalted, that he leaves his home and no one among the people faces him except he sees that he is below him."  

أَنَّهُ دُونَهُ؛ الْكِبَرُ مِنْهُ مَأْمُونٌ وَالْخَيْرُ مِنْهُ مَأْمُولٌ وَيَقْتَدِي بِمَنْ قَبْلَهُ وَهُوَ إِمَامٌ لِمَنْ بَعْدَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ الذُّلُّ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعِزِّ وَحَتَّى يَكُونَ الْفَقْرُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْغِنَى وَحَتَّى يَسْتَقِلَّ الْكَثِيرَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ ويَسْتَكْثِرَ الْقَلِيلَ مِنْ عَمَلِ غَيْرِهِ وَحَتَّى يَكُونَ عَيْشُهُ الْقُوتَ وَلَا يَتَبَرَّمُ فِي طَلَبِ الْحَوَائِجِ وَحَتَّى يَكُونَ الْفَقْرُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْحَلَالِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْغِنَى فِي الْحَرَامِ وَحَتَّى يَكُونَ الْفَقْرُ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْغِنَى فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ الْعَاشِرَةُ مَا الْعَاشِرَةُ؟ بِهَا سَادَ مَجْدُهُ وَعَلَا ذِكْرُهُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلُهُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ دُونَهُ  

[Machine] That a man invites his brother and he does not answer him, and he swears by his life and does not honor him, and he brings him food and he says it is not good, and the one who praises Allah for food has already expressed his gratitude.  

أَنْ يَدْعُوَ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ فَلَا يُجِيبَهُ وَيُقْسِمَ بِحَيَاتِهِ فَلَا يَبَرَّهُ وَيَأْتِيَهُ بِالطَّعَامِ فَيَقُولَ لَيْسَ بِطَيِّبٍ وَمَنْ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ ﷻ عَلَى طَعَامٍ فَقَدْ أَدَّى شُكْرَهُ  

[Machine] About my wife, while she was pregnant, the one inside her came to me, and his face had already appeared. Wahb said to him, "Indeed, those before you, when one of them was afflicted with calamity, they considered it ease, and when they were afflicted with ease, they considered it calamity."  

عَنِ امْرَأَتِي وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ فَجَاءَنِي الَّذِي فِي بَطْنِهَا وَقَدْ خَرَجَ وَجْهُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَهْبٌ «إِنَّ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانَ إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَهُمُ الْبَلَاءُ عَدَّهُ رَخَاءً وَإِذَا أَصَابَهُ رَخَاءٌ عَدَّهُ بَلَاءً»  

[Machine] "To love praise and hate criticism."  

أَنْ يُحِبَّ الْحَمْدَ وَيَكْرَهُ الذَّمَّ  

[Machine] "He hates defamation and loves praise."  

أَنَّهُ يَكْرَهُ الذَّمَّ وَيُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ»  

[Machine] I heard Wahb say, "There is nothing among the sons of Adam that Satan loves more than the sleeping person."  

سَمِعْتُ وَهْبًا يَقُولُ «لَيْسَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ أَحَبُّ إِلَى شَيْطَانِهِ مِنَ الْأَكُولِ النَّوَّامِ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, hardship is for the believer similar to the saddle for the camel."  

«إِنَّ الْبَلَاءَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالشِّكَالِ لِلدَّابَّةِ»  

[Machine] "So she [understood and] heard the whispering of the fire, and its anger and its roaring. The mountains cried out like women screaming, and then its [the fire's] front returned to its back, each part hitting another."  

فَسَمِعَتْ حَسِيسَ النَّارِ وَتَغَيُّظَهَا وَزَفِيرَهَا وَشَهِيقَهَا صَرَخَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَمَا تَصْرُخُ النِّسَاءُ ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُ أَوَائِلُهَا عَلَى أَوَاخِرِهَا يَدُقُّ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا»  

[Machine] I heard Wahb ibn Munabbih say, "Abandoning rewards is from indulging."  

سَمِعْتُ وَهْبَ بْنَ مُنَبِّهٍ يَقُولُ «تَرْكُ الْمُكَافَآتِ مِنَ التَّطْفِيفِ»  

[Machine] "Whoever worships increases in strength, and whoever is lazy increases in duration."  

«مَنْ يَتَعَبَّدْ يَزْدَدْ قُوَّةً وَمَنْ يَكْسَلْ يَزْدَدْ فَتْرَةً»  

[Machine] And he entered and complained to him about the severity he encountered from the oppressors and their expulsion of him. He (the person being complained to) said, Wahb ibn Munabbih, indeed the friends of Allah, when they are tested with hardship, they have hope, and when they are given ease, they fear.  

فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الشِّدَّةِ مَا لَقِيَ مِنَ الْحَجَّاجِ وَمِنْ تَطْرِيدِهِ إِيَّاهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ وَهْبُ بْنُ مُنَبِّهٍ إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ إِذَا سُلِكَ بِهِمْ طَرِيقُ الشِّدَّةِ رَجَوْا وَإِنْ سُلِكَ بِهِمْ طَرِيقُ الرَّخَاءِ خَافُوا  

[Machine] Hold on to three things from me: staying away from following one's desires, having a bad companion, and being impressed with one's own opinion.  

احْفَظُوا مِنِّي ثَلَاثًا إِيَّاكُمْ وَهَوًى مُتَّبَعًا وَقَرِينَ سُوءٍ وَإِعْجَابَ الْمَرْءِ بِرَأْيِهِ  

[Machine] "Do you want me to teach you a kind of medicine that doctors do not criticize, a kind of jurisprudence that scholars do not criticize, and a kind of forbearance that saints do not criticize?" They said, "Yes, O Abu Abdullah." He said, "As for the medicine that doctors do not criticize, do not eat any food unless you have mentioned the name of Allah at the beginning and praised Him at the end. As for the jurisprudence that scholars do not criticize, if you are asked about something and you have knowledge about it, then answer. Otherwise, say 'I do not know'. And as for the forbearance that saints do not criticize, speak less unless you are asked about something."  

لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ جُلَسَائِهِ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ طِبًّا لَا يَتَعَابَا الْأَطِبَّاءُ فِيهِ وَفِقْهًا لَا يَتَعَابَا الْفُقَهَاءُ فِيهِ وَحِلْمًا لَا يَتَعَابَا الْحُلَمَاءُ فِيهِ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَمَّا الطِّبُّ الَّذِي لَا يَتَعَابَا الْأَطِبَّاءُ فِيهِ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ طَعَامًا إِلَّا سَمَّيْتَ اللَّهَ ﷻ عَلَى أَوَّلِهِ وَحَمِدْتَهُ عَلَى آخِرِهِ وَأَمَّا الْفِقْهُ الَّذِي لَا يَتَعَابَا الْفُقَهَاءُ فِيهِ فَإِنْ سُئِلْتَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَكَ فِيهِ عِلْمٌ وَإِلَّا فَقُلْ لَا أَدْرِي وَأَمَّا الْحِلْمُ الَّذِي لَا يَتَعَابَا الْحُلَمَاءُ فِيهِ فَأَكْثِرِ الصَّمْتَ إِلَّا أَنْ تُسْأَلَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ  

[Machine] There was a man before you who devoted himself for a long time, and then he asked Allah for a need and fasted seventy consecutive Saturdays, eating only eleven dates on each Saturday. He said, "I asked Allah for a need, but He did not grant it to me." He then reflected upon himself and said, "O soul, you have been given what you wanted from your own desire. If there was any good in you, you would have been granted your need. But there is no good in you." At that moment, an angel came down to him and said, "O son of Adam, this moment you spent in struggling with yourself is better than all the worship you have done in the past, and Allah has granted you the need you asked for."  

كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ رَجُلٌ تَعَبَّدَ زَمَانًا ثُمَّ طَلَبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ حَاجَةً وَصَامَ سَبْعِينَ سَبْتًا يَأْكُلُ كُلَّ سَبْتٍ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ تَمْرَةً قَالَ فَطَلَبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ حَاجَةً فَلَمْ يُعْطِهَا قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ مِنْ قِبَلِكِ أُتِيتُ لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ خَيْرٌ لَأُعْطِيتَ حَاجَتَكَ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ خَيْرٌ فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ سَاعَتَئِذٍ مَلَكٌ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ سَاعَتُكَ هَذِهِ الَّتِي أَزْرَيْتَ فِيهَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عِبَادَتِكَ كُلِّهَا الَّتِي مَضَتْ وَقَدْ أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ حَاجَتَكَ الَّتِي سَأَلْتَ  

[Machine] I heard Wahb say about his saying, "And when the seas are set ablaze" [Surah At-Takwir 6], he said, "The seas were set ablaze with fire."  

سَمِعْتُ وَهْبًا يَقُولُ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ} [التكوير 6] قَالَ «سُجِّرَتْ الْبِحَارُ نَارًا»
