God Almighty has forbidden Paradise, which the heavens and the earth have offered, so He bought a little for a great deal, but it perished for what remained and for fear of security. Do you not see that you are in the loins of those who perish, and the rest of them after you will leave it in like manner until it is returned to the best of heirs? Every day and night you will mourn, coming and going to God Almighty. His death has been fulfilled and his term has expired until You bury him in a crack in the ground, in the middle of a crack, then you call him unpaved and uncushioned. He has stripped off his foundations, separated from his loved ones, lived in the dust, and faced a reckoning dependent on his deeds, poor for what he gave, rich in what he left behind. So fear God before the descent of death. I swear by God that I am telling you this article, and I do not know of any sins that anyone has.

Our Sheikh Abu Madyan had a conflict between him and Abu Al-Hasan Ibn Al-Daqqaq, and Ibn Al-Daqqaq was one of those who entrusted him and attended his meeting, but it broke off. He refused to attend his council for that reason, so Sheikh Abu Madin summoned him and said to him: O Abu Al-Hassan, what is your business? My devil is quarreling with your devil, and we are on our terms as we were. We have not chang

In a letter, a man from Dhul-Nun’s brothers became ill, so he wrote to him to pray for him, so Dhul-Nun wrote to him. You asked me to pray to God for you to remove blessings from you. And know, my brother, that illness is rewarded by which people of serenity, anxiety, and light in life will find comfort in your remembrance of recovery and whoever does not. Affliction is considered a blessing. He is not one of the wise. And whoever does not feel confident about himself, the people who blame him feel confident about his matter. May he be with you, my brother. Shame prevents you from complaining and greetings. Some of them said, “You wrote to me asking me about my condition, but I could not tell you about my condition while I was going through the pains that made me cry, four of which made me cry with the love of my eyes.” To consider, my tongue is to be curious, my heart is to lead, and my answer is Satan, the enemy of God in what God hates, and he has given me an eye that does

A man who was described as virtuous and polite came to see Abdul Malik bin Marwan, and Abdul Malik bin Marwan said to him, “Speak.” He said, “What am I talking about?” And I knew that every word the speaker speaks is bad for him, except what is for God.
