It is narrated from Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym regarding { بَلَی مَنْ کَسَبَ سَیِّئَۃً وَأَحَاطَتْ بِہِ خَطِیئَتُہُ }. He says: those who die upon their disbelief, and sometimes he says: those people who die in a state of sin.

It is narrated about Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym that he himself used to clean the toilet. The narrator says that it was said to him:“Is this not sufficient for you?”He replied:“I like that I also take my share from hardship.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym that he said: Reduce all speech except for nine things: glorification (tasbih), declaration of the oneness of Allah (tahlil), magnification (takbir), praise (tahmid), your asking for good, your seeking refuge from evil, your enjoining what is right, your forbidding what is wrong, and your recitation of the Qur’an.

It is narrated about Hazrat Rabee’ that he said to his family: Prepare halwa for me. So, halwa was cooked, then he called a madman and Hazrat Rabee’ began to feed him morsels, and his saliva was flowing. When he had eaten and left, the family said to Hazrat Rabee’: We made an effort and prepared it, and then you fed it to such a person who does not even know what he has eaten. Hazrat Rabee’ replied: But Allah knows.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sha'bi that he says Hazrat Rabi' bin Khuthaym, since he gained consciousness, has never sat in any gathering. He says, "I fear that someone might be wronged and I may not help him, or someone might falsely accuse another and I may be made responsible to testify about it, and I may not be able to lower my gaze or show the right path."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Wa'il that he says: My brother and I went to Hazrat Rabi' bin Khuthaym, and he was sitting in the mosque. He said: What has brought you here? We replied: We have come so that you may remember Allah and we may also remember Allah with you, and you may praise Allah and we may also praise Allah with you. Upon this, he raised both his hands and said: All praise is due to Allah, you were not made to say this. We did not come to you so that you may drink wine and we may drink with you, nor did we come to you so that you may commit adultery and we may commit adultery with you.

Hazrat Rabi’ says that it is astonishing how the Angel of Death comes to three types of people. (First) a king who is locked in his fortresses, yet the angel comes to him, takes out his soul, and leaves his kingdom behind him. And a skilled physician who treats people; the angel comes to him and takes out his soul.

It is narrated about Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym that his horse, worth thirty thousand, was stolen while he was performing the night prayer, but he did not leave his prayer. When morning came, Rabi’ began to ride its foal, and then when morning came, he said: O Allah! He has stolen from me, although I did not steal from him. The narrator says: Hazrat Rabi’ used to recite (Qur’an) in a loud voice. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he recited quietly.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdul Malik bin Umair that he says Hazrat Rabee’ was told,“Shall we not call a physician for you?”He replied,“Give me some respite.”Then he reflected and said: { وَعَادًا وَثُمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُونًا بَیْنَ ذَلِکَ کَثِیرًا وَکُلاًّ ضَرَبْنَا لَہُ الأَمْثَالَ وَکُلاًّ تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِیرًا } Then he mentioned their greed for worldly life and their desire for this life. He said: These people became ill and some among them were physicians, but neither the one who took the medicine remained nor the one who gave the medicine remained. Both the describer and the described fell prey to destruction. By Allah! Do not call a physician for me.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sha'bi that he says: We went to Hazrat Rabi' bin Khuthaym, and he made this supplication: O Allah! All praise is for You, and all matters return to You, and You alone are worthy of every kind of praise. All goodness is in Your control. We ask You for every good, and we seek refuge in You from every evil.
