It is narrated from Hasan that he says: May Allah have mercy on the servant who stands firm on his intention and resolve. Because whenever a servant acts, he does so with intention. Then, if the intention is good, the servant carries it out, and if the intention is bad, the servant refrains from it.

It is narrated from Imran Qasir that he says: I asked Hasan about something, so I said, "Indeed, the jurists say such and such." Hasan replied: "Have you ever seen a faqir (ascetic) with your own eyes? A faqir is one who is disinterested in the world, is insightful in his religion, and is constant in the worship of his Lord."

It is narrated from Yunus, he says that Hasan said: A servant remains upon goodness as long as he knows what can spoil his deeds. Yunus says: Some people think that they are upon the truth, and there are others over whom their desires prevail.

37923 - Yunus said: Among them are those who see themselves as being upon the truth, and among them are those whose desires overcome them.

It is narrated about Hasan that he used to say: The heart of a believer is behind his tongue. So when any of you intends to do something, he should reflect upon it. If it is a matter of goodness, then he should speak about it, and if it is otherwise, then he should remain silent. And the heart of a hypocrite is at the edge of his tongue. So when he intends something, he speaks it out and makes it apparent.

It is narrated from Hasan that he says: Indeed, a believer thinks well of his Lord, so he also does good deeds, and a hypocrite thinks ill of his Lord, so he also does bad deeds.

It is narrated from Hasan that he said: Seek knowledge in such a way that it does not harm worship. And seek worship in such a way that it does not harm knowledge. Because whoever acts without knowledge does more wrong than right.

It is narrated from Yunus that he says Hasan was a sorrowful man.

It is narrated from Hasan, he says: Indeed, I have found such people who, among their deeds, would keep secret the ones they wished to keep secret.

It is narrated from Hasan that he says: Indeed, when a person performs a good deed, it becomes light in his heart and strength in his body. And indeed, when a person commits a sin, it becomes darkness in his heart and weakness in his body.
