It is narrated from Hazrat Sha'bi that he says Hazrat Rabi' bin Khuthaym, since he gained consciousness, has never sat in any gathering. He says, "I fear that someone might be wronged and I may not help him, or someone might falsely accuse another and I may be made responsible to testify about it, and I may not be able to lower my gaze or show the right path."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Wa'il that he says: My brother and I went to Hazrat Rabi' bin Khuthaym, and he was sitting in the mosque. He said: What has brought you here? We replied: We have come so that you may remember Allah and we may also remember Allah with you, and you may praise Allah and we may also praise Allah with you. Upon this, he raised both his hands and said: All praise is due to Allah, you were not made to say this. We did not come to you so that you may drink wine and we may drink with you, nor did we come to you so that you may commit adultery and we may commit adultery with you.

Hazrat Rabi’ says that it is astonishing how the Angel of Death comes to three types of people. (First) a king who is locked in his fortresses, yet the angel comes to him, takes out his soul, and leaves his kingdom behind him. And a skilled physician who treats people; the angel comes to him and takes out his soul.

It is narrated about Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym that his horse, worth thirty thousand, was stolen while he was performing the night prayer, but he did not leave his prayer. When morning came, Rabi’ began to ride its foal, and then when morning came, he said: O Allah! He has stolen from me, although I did not steal from him. The narrator says: Hazrat Rabi’ used to recite (Qur’an) in a loud voice. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he recited quietly.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdul Malik bin Umair that he says Hazrat Rabee’ was told,“Shall we not call a physician for you?”He replied,“Give me some respite.”Then he reflected and said: { وَعَادًا وَثُمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُونًا بَیْنَ ذَلِکَ کَثِیرًا وَکُلاًّ ضَرَبْنَا لَہُ الأَمْثَالَ وَکُلاًّ تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِیرًا } Then he mentioned their greed for worldly life and their desire for this life. He said: These people became ill and some among them were physicians, but neither the one who took the medicine remained nor the one who gave the medicine remained. Both the describer and the described fell prey to destruction. By Allah! Do not call a physician for me.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sha'bi that he says: We went to Hazrat Rabi' bin Khuthaym, and he made this supplication: O Allah! All praise is for You, and all matters return to You, and You alone are worthy of every kind of praise. All goodness is in Your control. We ask You for every good, and we seek refuge in You from every evil.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sariyyah al-Rabi' that she says: When the time of Hazrat Rabi's death approached, his daughter began to weep. He, may Allah have mercy on him, said: O daughter! Why are you weeping? You should say: O glad tidings! My father is meeting with goodness.

It is narrated from Ibrahim that he said: The man who stayed with Rabi' bin Khuthaym for twenty years informed me that he never heard any blameworthy word from him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym that the Divine Command { فَأَمَّا إنْ کَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِینَ فَرَوْحٌ وَرَیْحَانٌ وَجَنَّۃُ نَعِیمٍ } stated: These are stored for them. { وَأَمَّا إنْ کَانَ مِنَ الْمُکَذِّبِینَ الضَّالِّینَ فَنُزُلٌ مِنْ حَمِیمٍ } stated: It is with Him. { وَتَصْلِیَۃُ جَحِیمٍ } stated: It is stored for him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Naseer that he says when a beggar would come to Hazrat Rabee', he (may Allah have mercy on him) would say: "Give this beggar some sugar to eat." Because Hazrat Rabee' liked sugar.
