Ibrahim Taimi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I found sixty companions of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) in this mosque, the youngest of whom was "Harith bin Suwaid," and I heard them reciting {إذَا زُلْزِلَتْ… الخ }. When they reached (فَمَنْ یَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّۃٍ خَیْرًا یَرَہُ), they began to weep, then said that this is indeed a very severe reckoning.

It is narrated from Hasan that one of the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) passed by another who was reciting Ayat al-Kursi and weeping, and he was reciting it repeatedly. So he said, "Have you people not heard the statement of Allah { وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِیلاً }? This is that tartil (measured recitation)."

Hazrat Abdullah bin Shaqiq Al-Uqaili narrates that I heard Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "For me to weep out of fear of Allah until tears flow down my cheeks is more beloved to me than giving away gold equal to my own weight in charity. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), whenever any Muslim weeps out of fear of Allah and his tears fall upon the earth, the fire of Hell cannot touch him until a drop of water that has fallen from the sky returns to its original place—and that can never happen."

Mahdi bin Maymun (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I heard Muhammad say that a companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) would not find anything to eat for three days at a time, so he would take leather, roast it, and break it into pieces, and when he found nothing at all, he would tie stones to his stomach.

Hazrat Wahb bin Munabbih says that among the Children of Israel there were some ignorant youths. They read the Book and acquired knowledge, and then they began to seek wealth and nobility in exchange for reading it. And it was they who started this innovation. In return for it, they sought honor and worldly wealth, thus they themselves went astray and led others astray as well.

Hazrat Abu Dawood said that the heart also becomes rusty like iron. He was asked what is the remedy for this, so he replied that a person should remember Allah.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Ubaid bin Umair (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Ayub had two brothers. Both of them came together, but due to the smell coming from Ayub, they could not come near him. So one of them said, "If Allah Almighty had seen any good in Ayub (peace be upon him), He would not have brought him to this state." Upon hearing this, Ayub (peace be upon him) wept so intensely as he had never wept before. Then Ayub (peace be upon him) said, "O Allah, if You know that I have never slept with a full stomach on any night while I was aware of the place of a hungry person, then confirm my truthfulness." So his truthfulness was confirmed, and both of them were listening. Then he prayed, "O Allah! If You know that I have never worn a shirt while I was aware of the place of a naked person, then confirm my truthfulness." So his truthfulness was confirmed, and both of them were listening. Then Ayub (peace be upon him) fell into prostration and prayed, "O Allah! I will not raise my head until You remove my grief." Then he did not raise his head until Allah removed his grief.

Hazrat Hilal bin Yusuf states that it is narrated from Isa (peace be upon him) that when any of you gives charity, he should do so with his right hand and keep it hidden even from his left hand. And when any of you is fasting, he should apply oil and wipe his lips with oil so that the onlookers do not assume that he is fasting. And when any of you prays at home, he should definitely set up a sutrah, because just as sustenance is distributed, so is praise.

Hazrat Bakr bin Ma'az (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that when Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) saw Rabi' bin Khuthaym approaching, he would say, "Give glad tidings to those who are humble. By Allah, if the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had seen you, he would have loved you."

Hazrat Bakr bin Ma’az (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that the daughter of Rabi’ bin Khuthaym came while his companions were sitting with him, and she asked,“O father! May I go to play?”He replied,“No.”His companions said to him,“O Abu Yazid, let her go.”He replied,“I have not seen in my book that it is said to her, ‘Go and play,’ but rather it is written, ‘Go and speak good words and do good deeds.’”
