[Machine] "To make him sit on a chair, but he refused."  

أَنْ نُجْلِسَهُ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ فَأَبَى»  

[Machine] "To lean on the pillar."  

أَنْ يَسْتَنِدَ إِلَى السَّارِيَةِ»  

[Machine] Ibrahim used to not start a conversation until he was asked.  

كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ «لَا يَبْتَدِئُ الْحَدِيثَ حَتَّى يُسْأَلَ»  

[Machine] Al-Harith ibn Qays al-Ju'fi was one of the companions of Abdullah who admired him, so he used to sit with him. When the men became numerous, he would stand up and leave them.  

«كَانَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْجُعْفِيُّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَكَانُوا مُعْجَبِينَ بِهِ فَكَانَ» يَجْلِسُ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ وَالرَّجُلَانِ فَيُحَدِّثُهُمَا فَإِذَا كَثُرُوا قَامَ وَتَرَكَهُمْ  

[Machine] It was said to him when Abdullah died, "If you stayed and taught the people the Sunnah?" So he said, "Do you want my back to be trampled upon?"  

قِيلَ لَهُ حِينَ مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَوْ قَعَدْتَ فَعَلَّمْتَ النَّاسَ السُّنَّةَ؟ فَقَالَ «أَتُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُوطَأَ عَقِبِي»  

[Machine] "Do you not see? A trial for the guided, a humiliation for the follower?"  

«أَوَ مَا تَرَى؟ فِتْنَةً لِلْمَتْبُوعِ مَذَلَّةً لِلتَّابِعِ؟»  

[Machine] "Their heels are to be stepped upon."  

أَنْ تُوطَأَ أَعْقَابُهُمْ»  

[Machine] Do you have a need? If he had a need, he would fulfill it, but if he asks, he will leave. And he said, "Do you have a need?"  

أَلَكَ حَاجَةٌ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ قَضَاهَا وَإِنْ عَادَ يَمْشِي مَعَهُ قَامَ فَقَالَ أَلَكَ حَاجَةٌ  

[Machine] "To have your feet stepped on."  

أَنْ تُوطَأَ أَعْقَابُكُمْ»  

[Machine] And he said, "Indeed, your actions, this or your behavior, this, is humiliation for the follower and a trial for the follower."  

وَقَالَ «إِنَّ صَنِيعَكُمْ هَذَا أَوْ مَشْيَكُمْ هَذَا مَذَلَّةٌ لِلتَّابِعِ وَفِتْنَةٌ لِلْمَتْبُوعِ»  

[Machine] "And he said, 'If you want the foundation of the building, then guide me until I come with you.' He said, 'So I went with him.' Then while we were walking, a man came and walked with him. He stood and said, 'Do you need something?' He said, 'No.' He said, 'Either you do not need, then go.' Then he turned to me and said, 'You also go.' So I went until I diverged from the path."  

وَقَالَ «إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَسَاسَ الْبِنَاءِ فَآذِنِّي حَتَّى أَجِيءَ مَعَكَ» قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَمْشِي إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَمَشَى مَعَهُ فَقَامَ فَقَالَ «أَلَكَ حَاجَةٌ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «إمَّا لَا فَاذْهَبْ» ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «أَنْتَ أَيْضًا فَاذْهَبْ» قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ حَتَّى خَالَفْتُ الطَّرِيقَ  

[Machine] "When spring would come, it would say, 'I seek refuge in Allah from your evil', meaning its companions."  

أَنَّ الرَّبِيعَ كَانَ إِذَا أَتَوْهُ يَقُولُ «أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّكُمْ» يَعْنِي أَصْحَابَهُ  

[Machine] "To say to them what I do not do."  

أَنْ أَقُولَ لَهُمْ مَا لَا أَفْعَلُ»  

[Machine] "I wished that I had safely escaped from this work, without any harm occurring to me or others."  

«وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي نَجَوْتُ مِنْ عَمَلِي كَفَافًا لَا لِي وَلَا عَلَيَّ»  

[Machine] "Do not walk in my footsteps, for by Allah, if you knew what difficulties I have faced, no one among you would follow me."  

«لَا تَطَئُوا عَقِبِي فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أُغْلِقُ عَلَيْهِ بَابِي مَا تَبِعَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ»  

[Machine] "A trial for the followed, a humiliation for the follower."  

«فِتْنَةٌ لِلْمَتْبُوعِ مَذَلَّةٌ لِلتَّابِعِ»  

[Machine] "Be cautious about stepping on my heart, as it is detrimental to the hearts of wounded men."  

«عَنِّي خَفْقَ نِعَالِكُمْ فَإِنَّهَا مُفْسِدَةٌ لِقُلُوبِ نَوْكَى الرِّجَالِ»  

[Machine] I heard al-Hasan saying, "Indeed, the sound of sandals behind men rarely delays fools."  

سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ خَفْقَ النِّعَالِ خَلْفَ الرِّجَالِ قَلَّ مَا يُلَبِّثُ الْحَمْقَى»  

[Machine] "He would get up and move aside when the man or the two men sat next to him."  

كَانَ «إِذَا جَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ أَوِ الرَّجُلَانِ قَامَ فَتَنَحَّى»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The feet of a servant will not be able to move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about his age and how he spent it, his knowledge and how he acted upon it, his wealth and how he earned it and how he spent it, and his body and how he wore it out."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَزُولُ قَدَمَا عَبْدٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُسْأَلَ عَنْ عُمُرِهِ فِيمَا أَفْنَاهُ وَعَنْ عِلْمِهِ مَا فَعَلَ بِهِ وَعَنْ مَالِهِ مِنْ أَيْنَ اكْتَسَبَهُ وَفِيمَا أَنْفَقَهُ وَعَنْ جِسْمِهِ فِيمَا أَبْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] "Allah will not leave His servants on the Day of Judgment when people will stand before the Lord of the worlds, until He asks them about four things: how they spent their lives, what they endured in their bodies, what they earned and how they spent it, and what deeds they did with the knowledge they had."  

«لَا يَدَعُ اللَّهُ الْعِبَادَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ حَتَّى يَسْأَلَهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ عَمَّا أَفْنَوْا فِيهِ أَعْمَارَهُمْ وَعَمَّا أَبْلَوْا فِيهِ أَجْسَادَهُمْ وَعَمَّا كَسَبُوا وفِيما أَنْفَقُوا وَعَمَّا عَمِلُوا فِيمَا عَلِمُوا»  

[Machine] "Do not depart from a servant on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about four things: his life, how he spent it, his body, how he wore it out, his wealth, how he earned it and how he spent it, and his knowledge, what he did with it."  

لَا تَزُولُ قَدَمَا عَبْدٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُسْأَلَ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ عَنْ عُمُرِهِ فِيمَا أَفْنَاهُ وَعَنْ جَسَدِهِ فِيمَا أَبْلَاهُ وَعَنْ مَالِهِ مِنْ أَيْنَ اكْتَسَبَهُ وَفِيمَا وَضَعَهُ وَعَنْ عِلْمِهِ مَاذَا عَمِلَ فِيهِ  

[Machine] I have a peacock, "If you have not learned, learn for yourself, for indeed people have lost their trustworthiness."  

لِي طَاوُسٌ «مَا تَعَلَّمْتَ فَتَعَلَّمْ لِنَفْسِكَ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ ذَهَبَتْ مِنْهُمُ الْأَمَانَةُ»  

[Machine] "I realized that people, and the persons who engage in acts of worship, are not recognized by their eloquence, but rather they are recognized by their actions. That is the beneficial knowledge."  

«أَدْرَكْتُ النَّاسَ وَالنَّاسِكُ إِذَا نَسَكَ لَمْ يُعْرَفْ مِنْ قِبَلِ مَنْطِقِهِ وَلَكِنْ يُعْرَفُ مِنْ قِبَلِ عَمَلِهِ فَذَلِكَ الْعِلْمُ النَّافِعُ»
