Hazrat Ibn Muhairiz once went to a cloth seller and bought something from him. Then a man said to the cloth seller, "Do you know who this is? This is Ibn Muhairiz." So the cloth seller stood up. Hazrat Ibn Muhairiz said, "We have come to buy in exchange for our dirhams, not to buy in exchange for our religion."

Hazrat Musa bin Uqbah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that we were in a sandy land when I heard Ibn Muhairiz (may Allah have mercy on him) saying, "I have seen those people that when a Muslim died, people used to say: 'All praise is due to Allah, Who granted so-and-so death upon Islam.' Then that era ended, and now no one says this anymore."

Hazrat Majma' bin Jaribah, may Allah have mercy on him, used to pray: "O Allah, I ask You for a gentle and easy death."

Hazrat Usama bin Zaid narrates from his father regarding the command of Allah Almighty (خَافِضَۃٌ) that whoever is humbled on that Day will never be elevated, and whoever attains elevation on that Day will never be humbled.

Hazrat Amr bin Aws (may Allah have mercy on him) says that those who do good are the ones who do not commit injustice, and if injustice is done to them, they do not take revenge.

Hazrat Abu Alaa bin Al-Shakheer says that a certain person said: "You people walk over your graves." I said: "Yes." He said: "Then how can rain descend upon you!!!"

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says regarding the statement of Allah Almighty { فَالْتَقَمَہُ الْحُوتُ } that when the Prophet was swallowed by the fish, he was taken and placed in the seventh earth. There he heard the earth glorifying Allah. This inspired him to glorify Allah as well, so he began to say { لاَ إلَہَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَک إنِّی کُنْت مِنَ الظَّالِمِینَ }. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that the fish released the Prophet and placed him on the earth like a newborn child without hair or nails. Allah Almighty caused a tree to grow near him to provide shade. And he used to eat insects under that tree. Once, while he was sleeping in the shade of that tree, a leaf from the tree, which had dried up, fell down. The Prophet (peace be upon him) complained about this to his Lord, and he received the reply: "You are so saddened by a single tree, so why are you not saddened for one hundred thousand or more who are being punished?"

Hazrat Abu al-Sahba says that I sought wealth through lawful means, but it exhausted me except for daily sustenance, so I realized that a good arrangement had been made for me. By Allah, whoever is given daily sustenance and does not understand that a good arrangement has been made for him, then that person has deficient judgment.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Mutarrif says that you will see two people, one of whom performs more prayers and fasts, and the other is more honorable in the sight of Allah. People asked, "O Aba Juza, how can this be?" He replied, "He is the one who refrains more from the forbidden things."

It is narrated from Hazrat Dahhak (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding the statement of Allah Almighty { وَبَشِّرَ الْمُخْبِتِینَ } that it refers to those who are humble.
