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.

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."
