Ubayy ibn K’ab used to be a person of worship, and when the people were in need of him (due to his knowledge and high position amongst the companions) he would leave worship and sit with the people. (to answer their questions).
[Siyar ‘Alām An-Nubalā Volume 3, page 399].
Ibn Abee Dunyaa [rahimahullaah] reported with a chain of transmission going back to Rabee Bin Anas [rahimahullaah], who said: Ikhlaas [Sincerity] to Allaah is the distinguishing sign of the Religion and the distinguishing sign of knowledge is Khashyah [i.e. that fear of Allaah founded upon knowledge of the greatness of Allaah and Him being the owner of complete and perfect sovereignty and Dominion[1].”

[1] The short meaning of Khashyah was taken from one of Ustaadh Abu Talhah’s translations [may Allaah grant him and his wife] Jannatul Fir’daws]
Abu Uthmaan An-Naysabooree [rahimahullaah] said: Whoever commands himself with the Sunnah in speech and action will speak with wisdom. And whoever commands himself with desires in speech and action will speak with innovation.
Shaikh Uthaymeen [rahimahullaah] said: If a person says: What will make a man love his wife and vice versa? We say: Allaah has clarified this in His statement:
وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
And live with them honourably. [Soorah An-Nisaa’ Aayah 19]
If every person lives with his wife honourably and vice versa, then love, a strong bond and a happy married life will be established.
[Fataawaa Noor Alad-Darb 6/29. Abridged]
A Sheep was slaughtered for Abdullaah Ibn Umar [radiyallaahu-anhumaa], so he said to his slave, “Have you given to our Jewish neighbour? Have you given to our Jewish neighbours? I heard the Messenger of Allaah [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] saying, ‘Jibreel did not cease advising me [about the rights of] a neighbour until I thought that he [a neighbour] would inherit from me.’ “
