Hazrat Khalid bin Abi Imran says that Abdullah bin Zubair used to break his fast only three days in a month. Khalid says that for forty years he did not remove the cloth from his waist.

Muhammad bin Sirin narrates that we were sitting with Abu Ubaidah in his dome when a man came to him and sat with him on his bed. He spoke secretly to Abu Ubaidah about something that we could not understand. Abu Ubaidah said to him, "Put your finger in this fire." There was a fire burning in a brazier among us. The man said, "Subhan Allah." So Abu Ubaidah said, "You are stingy with me about even a finger in the fire of this world, and you ask me to throw my whole body into the fire of Hell." The narrator says that we thought that the man had invited Abu Ubaidah to become a judge.

Hazrat Qasim (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Ubaidullah bin Adi bin Khiyar said: "O Allah, keep us in safety and keep the believers safe from us."

Hazrat Abdullah bin Harith says that "Al-Zabaniyah" refers to angels whose heads are in the sky and feet are on the earth.

The explanation of Allah Almighty’s statement { مَا یَلْفِظُ مِنْ قَوْلٍ } is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that every good and bad deed of a person is recorded.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ikrimah (may Allah be pleased with him) that every matter of its benefit and harm is recorded.

It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Hasan regarding the explanation of Allah Almighty’s command { کَانُوا قَلِیلاً مِنَ اللَّیْلِ مَا یَہْجَعُونَ } that there were very few nights in which they would sleep.

Hazrat Hassan bin Atiyyah narrates that once a man was riding a donkey when suddenly he fell off and said, "I have fallen from the donkey." The angel on the right said, "This is not a good deed that I should record it," and the angel on the left said, "What kind of sin is this that I should record it?" Then the angel on the left was instructed, "Record whatever statement the right (angel) leaves unrecorded."

Hazrat Hassan bin Atiyyah said that whoever shows enmity to the friends of Allah, Allah declares war against him. And whoever’s intercession becomes an obstacle in the laws and limits set by Allah, then that person is hindering Allah’s command. And whoever assists in a dispute about which he has no knowledge, he remains in Allah’s anger until he withdraws from that dispute. And whoever accuses a Muslim of something about which he has no knowledge, Allah throws him into the pit of destruction until he himself finds a way out of it. And whoever argues on behalf of a weak person so that he may get his right, Allah keeps him firm on the Day when feet will slip. And Allah Almighty has said that when I intend something, I do not hesitate, except in seizing the soul of My believing servant, for he dreads death and its pain, though there is no way out of it.

Hazrat Ibn Muhairiz says that in the mosque, all conversations except for prayer, remembrance of Allah, or seeking or giving something good are idle talk.
