Qabeesah Bin Qais Al-Anbaaree (rahimahullaah) said: When evening approached Dahhaak Bin Muzaahim used to weep; so he was asked:”What makes you weep?” He said: ”I do not know which of my deeds will be raised today (i.e. accepted by Allaah)” [Sifatus Safwa: 4/150]

Aa’isha [radiyallaahu-anhaa] said: I ask the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) about this Ayah:
[وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ – And those who give that (their charity) which they give (and also do other good deeds) with their hearts full of fear] [23:60]; are they those who drink alcohol and commit theft?” He [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said: ”O daughter of Siddeeq! Rather they are those who observe fasting, perform prayer and give charity, whilst fearing that their deeds will not be accepted from them.” [Reported by Imaam Tirmidee Number: 3175]
Hasan Al-Basri [rahimahullaah] said: ”The believer combines between perfection (in worship) and fear (that his deeds will be rejected); and the hypocrite combines between evil (deeds) and feeling safe from [Allaah’s punishment]” [Madaarij As-Saalikeen: 1/512]
Maalik Bin Deenaar (rahimahullaah) said: ”A sign of having love for Allaah is (one’s) constant remembrance of Him; because whoever loves a thing will remember it a lot.” [Shu’ab Al-Eemaan: 1/388]
Yoosuf Ibn Asbaat (rahimahullaah) said: ”Purification of the intention from (what) corrupts it is harder upon the performers of (acts of worship) than prolonged striving (worship)” [Jaami al-Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:14]
Excerpts:
- They (Yahya and his followers) are waging a war against the Salafis and Salafiyaah, and the people of innovation are relaxing and watching. Is this from good manners!?
- We have remained patient for 7 years, whilst letters and complaints have reached us. And now you have to force him to change his ways. If he carries on upon his ways, it will cause an incomparable fitnah.
- I have advised him many times, sometimes I advise him for two and half hours. He doesn’t listen! He promises but he doesn’t fulfill his promises. May Allaah bless you, and his students are extremists [ghulaat], with an extremism that has no equal.
- Take the position of men with regards to him. He has harmed the people of Salafiyyah. There is no one more harmful than Yahya. Only Dammaj is left [considered Salafi] and all the centers are under the feet [nothing] except Dammaj.
- Did he [Yahya] rebuke it*? Did he openly free himself from this speech? No! You people applaud him when he arrives at this extremism.
- By Allaah, we have not seen this type of extremism from the people of innovation that we see from his students.
- By Allaah, I am holding back from comparing him to some of the innovators that I have refuted in the past. All we hear is ‘Imam al-Thaqalayn…an-Nasihul Ameen [the sincere adviser]
- Tell him that he is only a student and not an Alim. He is not a sincere adviser; he is not an Imam of anything. Tell him that he is just a student; tell him to fear Allaah and to join his brothers hand in hand – his brothers of Ahlul Sunnah. Tell him to leave this extremism and evil behaviour.
- They heaviest thing on the scales on the Day of Judgement is good manners, so tell him to teach his students good manners and to have good manners himself. He will not get anywhere without it.
- Student of Damaaj: “O’ Shaykh all that we have heard from you is praise for him. You called him and praised him…”Shaykh Rabee ibn Hadee al-Madkhalee: “By Allaah! Listen to me, by Allaah, I did not say this except that he claimed to have abandoned everything that he said and in order to bring him closer to us, and cause him to become gentle. But all we witnessed up until today are lies, deception and extremism. By Allaah, you see the extremism of the students there. There are no manners with them whatsoever. Go back and tell them this from me.

The tyrant (ruler) of Rome wrote to Khaleefah Al-Mu’tasim intimidating him; so he commanded that the (tyrant) should be sent a reply. He then said to the scribe, ”Write, to proceed: Indeed I have read what you have written and heard your address, and the response is what you will see and not you will hear. [وَسَيَعْلَمُ الْكُفَّارُ لِمَنْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ] ”And the disbelievers will know who gets the good end (final destination)” [Soorah Ar-Radd: Ayah: 42]

”When death approached Amr Bin Qais Al-Malaa’iy (rahimahullaah) he wept; so his companions said to him: ”What makes you weep about the worldly life, for by Allaah you have been modest during your life.” He said: ”By Allaah, I am not weeping over the worldly life, rather I weep fearing that I will be deprived of the goodness of the hereafter.” [[Shu’ab Al-Imaan 1/508]
