Bishr Ibnul Mundhir (rahimahullaah) said:

I saw Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) and it was as if he was blind due to humility. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 7/199]

Baqiyyah Ibnul Waleed (rahimahullaah) said:

”Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) said to me: ”O Baqiyyah! Do not mention any of the companions of your Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) except with good. Knowledge is that which has been narrated from the companions of Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam), and that which has not been narrated from them is not knowledge.” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 7/120]

Baqiyyah Ibnul Waleed Bin Yazeed (rahimahullaah) said:

Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) said: Love of Uthmaan and Ali (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) is not gathered except in the heart of a believer. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 7/120]

Muhammad Bin Katheer Al-Maseesee (rahimahullaah) said:

I heard Al-Awzaa’ee saying: The Taa’bi’een were widespread, whilst we used to say that Allaah is above His Throne and we believe in the Attributes of (Allaah) transmitted in the Sunnah. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa:7/121]

Al-Waleed Bin Mazeed (rahimahullaah) said:

I heard Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) saying: If Allaah wishes evil for a people, he opens for them the door of argumentation and prevents them from action. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa:7/121]

Ibraaheem Ibn Maysarah (rahimahullaah) said:

Taawoos (rahimahullaah) said to me: You either get married or else I will say to you what Umar Ibnul Khattaab (radiyallaahu-anhu) said to Abee Zawaa-id: Nothing prevents you from marriage except impotency or evil deeds. [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 4/6]

Ibn Taawoos narrated from his father (Taawoos) who said:

Miserliness is that a person is miserly with what he has in his hand; and greediness is that a man loves to have what people have in their hands through unlawful means. He is not contented. [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 4/6]

Abee Jaabiyah Al-Firaa’ee (rahimahullaah) narrated from Ash-shabee (rahimahullaah) who said: Indeed, we are not learnt men of understanding; rather we listen to hadeeth and transmit it. But the learnt men of understanding are those who act after knowing. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 4/303]

Maalik Bin Maghool (rahimahullaah) said: It was said to Shabee (rahimahullaah): ” scholar”. He said: The scholar is the one who fears Allaah. [Hilyatul awliyaa: 4/311]

Abee Ishaaq (rahimahullaah) narrated from Ash-shabee (rahimahullaah) who said: ”None abandons something of the worldly life for the sake of Allaah, except that Allaah will grant him what is better for him in the afterlife. [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 4/312]

Majaalid (rahimahullaah) narrated from Ash-shabee who said: I witnessed when a woman came to Shuraih (rahimahullaah) complaining about a man and started weeping. So I said: O father of Umayyah: I do not think except that she is oppressed. So he (Shuraih) said to me: O Shabee, indeed the brothers of Yoosuf (alayhis-salaam) came to their father weeping.’’ Tahdheebul Kamaal:14/36]

Masrooq Ibn Ajda-i (rahimahullaah) said:

”In reality, a person should have secluded sittings in which he remembers his sins and then seeks Allaah’s Forgiveness.” [Tabaqaat Ibn Sad: 6/80]

From Ibraaheem Bin Muhammad Al-Muntashir (rahimahullaah) that Masrooq (rahimahullaah) said: ”There is not anything better for the believer than Allaah’s legislated boundaries of the lawful and unlawful; for indeed it is a source of peace of mind from the distress of the worldly life and a safety from the punishment of Allaah. [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 2/97]

Our Salaf: I don’t want to see the humilaition on your face!

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

Muttarrif Bin Abdillaah (rahimahullaah) said to one of his brothers:

”O Father of such and such! If you have a need, then do not speak to me; rather write it down on a piece of paper because I fear seeing the humiliation of asking on your face.” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 4/194]

He (rahimahullaah) also said: To be thankful to Allaah whilst I am in a state of welbeing is more beloved to me than excercising patience when put to trial” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 4/195]
