It is narrated about Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym that at the time of his death he made a will. He said: These are the things which Rabi’ bin Khuthaym acknowledges about himself and bears witness to, and Allah alone is sufficient as a witness. And He is sufficient to reward His righteous servants, and sufficient to grant recompense. I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as my Prophet, and I am pleased for myself and for whoever obeys me that I worship Allah among the worshippers and praise Allah among those who praise, and that I show goodwill to the community of Muslims.

Hazrat Abu Hayyan narrates from his father, who says: I never heard Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym mention anything about worldly matters. However, once I heard him say: How many mosques does the orphan have.

It is narrated from Hazrat Bakr bin Ma’az that he says: Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym said to me: O Bakr! Guard your tongue except for that speech which is beneficial to you and not against you. For I have found people to be accused regarding their religion. Obey Allah in what you know, and what you do not know, entrust it to one who knows it. I fear for you more from deliberate actions than from actions done by mistake. Whoever among you is upon goodness today is not better, rather, they are only better than their own final evil. You do not fully follow goodness, nor do you flee from evil as is its due. You have not attained all that Allah Almighty has revealed to Hazrat Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , and all that you recite, you do not know what it is. Those hidden matters which are concealed from people are manifest to Allah. Seek a remedy for this. Then he said to himself: What is the remedy for this? It is that you repent and do not return to it again.

It is narrated from the freed slave of Hazrat Rabee’ that Hazrat Rabee’ was praying at night, and when he reached this verse { أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِینَ اجْتَرَحُوا السَّیِّئَاتِ }, he kept repeating it until morning.

It is narrated from Hazrat Rabi' bin Khuthaym regarding { وَإِذًا لاَ تُمَتَّعُونَ إِلاَّ قَلِیلاً }. He said: By "a little," it is meant the respite that is between their death and them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym regarding { بَلَی مَنْ کَسَبَ سَیِّئَۃً وَأَحَاطَتْ بِہِ خَطِیئَتُہُ }. He says: those who die upon their disbelief, and sometimes he says: those people who die in a state of sin.

It is narrated about Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym that he himself used to clean the toilet. The narrator says that it was said to him:“Is this not sufficient for you?”He replied:“I like that I also take my share from hardship.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym that he said: Reduce all speech except for nine things: glorification (tasbih), declaration of the oneness of Allah (tahlil), magnification (takbir), praise (tahmid), your asking for good, your seeking refuge from evil, your enjoining what is right, your forbidding what is wrong, and your recitation of the Qur’an.

It is narrated about Hazrat Rabee’ that he said to his family: Prepare halwa for me. So, halwa was cooked, then he called a madman and Hazrat Rabee’ began to feed him morsels, and his saliva was flowing. When he had eaten and left, the family said to Hazrat Rabee’: We made an effort and prepared it, and then you fed it to such a person who does not even know what he has eaten. Hazrat Rabee’ replied: But Allah knows.
