Hazrat Ammarah says that we set out towards Makkah and the family of Hazrat Shurayh was also with us. So Shurayh came out with us to see us off and said: Among their words was also this: Strive well in walking, for your mounts will not benefit you in any way from Allah. And a person does not leave anything from this world lighter than his own life. Ammarah says I remembered his words and benefited from them.

Hazrat Muhammad bin Fudayl narrates from his father, who says: I heard Mahan Hanafi say: Does it not bring shame to any of you that his riding animal or the clothes he wears remember Allah more than he does? Mahan was not negligent in saying takbeer and tahlil.

It is narrated from Ibrahim that he said: I saw Mahan Hanafi, and Hajjaj had ordered that he be crucified at his door. The narrator says: I saw him at that time while he was on the scaffold, engaged in tasbih (glorifying Allah), takbir (declaring Allah's greatness), tahlil (declaring the oneness of Allah), and praising and glorifying Allah. When he reached twenty-nine, he gestured with his hand, and in that state he was struck with a spear. Then, even after a month, I saw him counting the number twenty-nine with his hand. The narrator says: At night, a light would be seen near him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ata bin Saib that he said Hazrat Abu’l-Bakhtari was soft-hearted, and whenever he heard lamentation, he would begin to weep.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu’l-Bakhtari regarding the Divine command { اتَّخَذُوا أَحْبَارَہُمْ وَرُہْبَانَہُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِنْ دُونِ اللہِ }. He says: Those people would obey them in making unlawful what was lawful, and likewise, in making lawful what was unlawful, they would obey them. In this way, those people worshipped them.

Hazrat Abu’l-Bakhtari says: If I am in a group that knows more than me, I prefer this more than being among a people where I am the greatest scholar.

Hazrat Abu Al-Bakhtari says: There are three things, being among which is more detestable to me than falling from the sky. Those people who find adornments and embellishments sweet, those who become weary of the Qur'an, and those who obey the creation in disobedience to the Creator; that is, the Khawarij and the people of Syria.

Hazrat Ata bin Saib says that Hazrat Abu’l-Bakhtari and his companions were such that if any of them heard someone praising him or began to feel self-admiration, he would turn his shoulders and say,“I humble myself for the sake of Allah.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Al-Bakhtari that he says: The earth feels the absence of a person of faith, and the pieces of earth become adorned for the believer when he intends to perform prayer.

It is narrated about Hazrat Amr bin Maymoon that he used to say: Hasten to act in four things: in your life before death, in your health before illness, in your free time before becoming occupied, and the fourth I do not remember.
