Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood at the place of Khayf in Mina and said:“May Allah keep fresh and flourishing the person who hears my words, preserves them, and then conveys them to those who have not heard them. Sometimes the bearer of knowledge (fiqh) is not himself a faqih (jurist), and sometimes the bearer of knowledge conveys it to one who is more learned than himself.”And he narrated the complete hadith.

Sayyiduna Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:“May Allah keep fresh the person who hears my words and does not add anything to them. Sometimes the bearer of wisdom and knowledge conveys it to one who preserves it better than himself. There are three things in which a believer’s heart never betrays: acting sincerely for Allah, wishing well for the rulers, and adhering to the community of Muslims, for their supplication encompasses them from all sides.”

Sayyiduna Ibn Jubayr, may Allah be pleased with him, who was among the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), says that one day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) felt intense hunger and tied a stone to his stomach. Then he said: "Listen! How many souls there are who, in this world, eat and drink abundantly and live in luxury and comfort, but on the Day of Resurrection they will be hungry and naked. Listen! How many people there are who honor their own selves, while in reality they are humiliating them. Listen! How many people there are who humiliate their own selves, while (in reality) they are honoring them. Listen! How many there are who forcibly intrude into those things which Allah has granted to His Messenger as spoils (fay’), seeking luxury and comfort, while they have no share in them with Allah. Listen! Surely, the deeds of Paradise are surrounded by severe hardships. Listen! Surely, the deeds of Hell are surrounded by ease, pleasure, and desires. Listen! How many desires there are whose pleasure lasts but a moment, yet they become the cause of long-lasting sorrow."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "How many are those who stand (in prayer) and gain nothing from their standing except staying awake at night, and how many are those who fast and gain nothing from their fasting except hunger and thirst."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that indeed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "How many are those who stand (in prayer) and receive nothing from their standing except staying awake at night, and how many are those who fast and receive nothing from their fasting except hunger and thirst."

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "How many fasting people are there who get nothing from their fast except hunger and thirst, and how many people who stand (in prayer at night) get nothing from their standing except staying awake at night."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "How many are there who eat food and give thanks, who surpass in reward those who fast and show patience."

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he said: "If the beggars did not lie, those who send them back empty-handed would never be safe from punishment."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you knew what I know, you would weep more and laugh less."
