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]

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.
