Indeed The Flesh Of The Scholars Is Poisonous – Ibn Asaakir

Ibn Asaakir [rahimahullaah] said:

Know O my brother! May Allaah grant us and you His Pleasure and make us from those who have awe and fear of Him as He should be feared. Indeed, the flesh of the scholars is poisonous and Allaah’s way of disclosing the hidden affairs of those who diminish their worth is well known.

Two Sources of Wealth By Which One Does Not Fear Poverty – Abu Haazim (rahimahullah)

It was said to Abu Haazim (rahimahullaah):

What is your wealth? He said: I have two (sources) of wealth by way of which I cannot fear poverty, reliance upon Allaah and not being desperate for what people possess. It was said to him: ‘’Do you not fear poverty? He said: ‘’should I fear poverty when my Protector (Allaah) owns what is in the heavens and the earth, and all that is under the soil?!’’

Supplicate To Allah In Times of Ease And He Will Answer In Times Of Difficulty

Abu Ad-Dardaa [radiyallaahu-anhu] said:

Supplicate to Allaah in your times of ease and He will answer your supplication in your times of difficulty.”  A man said to him, ‘’Advise me.” So he said to him, ‘’Remember Allaah in times of ease and He [The Mighty and Majestic] will remember you when you are in difficulty.”

What is Certainty? – Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu)

Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu) said:

Certainty is that you neither please the people to displease Allaah nor envy anyone for the provision Allaah has given him, nor blame anyone for what Allaah has not given you; because Allaah’s provision will neither come to you through the eagerness of the one [who wants it to come to you] nor will it be repelled by the dislike of the one who dislikes that [it should be given to you].
