37294 - Al-A'mash said: I mentioned that to Ibrahim, and he said: "A fat person forgets the Qur'an."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Al-Ahwas that he says Hazrat Abdullah said: With every happiness there is sorrow.

It is narrated from Hazrat Masruq that he says: A drink was brought to Hazrat Abdullah, so he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Give this drink to Alqamah." Alqamah said: "I am fasting." Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Give this drink to Aswad." Aswad said: "I am fasting." In this way, the drink was passed by all the people, then he himself took the drink and drank it, then recited this verse: { یَخَافُونَ یَوْمًا تَتَقَلَّبُ فِیہِ الْقُلُوبُ وَالأَبْصَارُ }

Hazrat Abdullah says: The portion of the world that has passed is like the hem of a mountain whose cleanliness has ended and only impurity remains, and as long as one of you fears Allah, he will remain upon goodness. And when something troubles his heart and he comes to a man and finds a cure from him—by God! It is possible that you may not find him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah that he says: There is no state more beloved to Allah Almighty than seeing His servant in prostration.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah, he says: Surely Allah gives the world to those whom He loves and to those whom He does not love, but He grants faith only to those whom He loves. When Allah loves a servant, He grants him faith. So whoever among you fears enduring hardship at night, is cowardly in striving against the enemy, and is miserly in spending wealth, then he should frequently recite: Subhan Allah, walhamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar.

Hazrat Abdullah says: Indeed, a mountain calls out to another mountain and says, "Has any person remembering Allah passed over you today?"

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Murrah that he said: Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Worship Allah as if you see Him, and count yourself among the dead. And know that the little which suffices you is better than the abundance which makes you heedless. And know that virtue does not become old, and sin is not forgotten.

It is narrated from Hazrat Raja bin Haywah that he says: Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) gathered the people of Damascus and then said: Listen to your well-wishing brother. Do you accumulate that which you will not eat? And do you hope for things which you will not attain? And do you build that in which you will not live? Where are those who were before you? They accumulated much and made distant hopes, and built strong (buildings). Then what they accumulated became useless, their hopes deceived them, and their homes became graves.

It is narrated from Hazrat Habib that he says Hazrat Abu Darda, whenever he passed by any settlement, would say: "Where are your inhabitants?" Then he, may Allah be pleased with him, would say: "They have departed, but their deeds remain."
