Hazrat Khaythama narrates that Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) said: "Do not store up today’s provision for tomorrow. For the One who provided today can also provide tomorrow. If you wonder how this is possible, look at the birds: they neither plow nor sow, yet they go out in the morning and return in the evening with Allah’s provision. And if you say that the example of birds is not sufficient, then look at the wild donkeys and the nilgai; they go out in the morning seeking Allah’s provision and return in the evening satisfied."

Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the bearer of the Qur'an should be recognized by his night when people are sleeping, and by his day when people are beginning their morning, and by his sorrow when people are rejoicing, and by his weeping when people are laughing, and by his silence when people are engaged in conversation, and by his humility when people are showing arrogance. And it is appropriate for the bearer of the Qur'an to be one who weeps, is sorrowful, forbearing, wise, and of a quiet nature. And it is not appropriate for the bearer of the Qur'an (Hazrat Abu Bakr says that these words were said) to be one who makes noise, shouts, or becomes angry.

Hazrat Amr bin Murrah narrates that Abu Wa'il (may Allah be pleased with him) came to visit Rabee' bin Khuthaym during his illness and said, "I came because I heard the voice of someone announcing death."

Hazrat Abu Ja'far Khatmi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that his respected grandfather, Umair bin Habib, used to get up at night and say: O people! Set out, you have been directed towards water. Set out, set out. Whoever is directed towards water remains thirsty, and whoever is directed towards the sun burns in the heat. Set out, set out.

Hazrat Umair bin Habib, may Allah have mercy on him, had a slave who used to teach his son the Qur'an and the Book. He would start talking to him about worldly matters and women. So Umair bin Habib said to him, "O Ziyad! You have placed the dome of Satan over our children; remove it."

Hazrat Muslim bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when you intend to quote something from Allah Almighty, then stop and first find out its context and background.

Hazrat Asim (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the most frequent words of Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) were: Subhan Allah al-Azeem, Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi.
