Hazrat Safwan bin Muhriz narrates: He says that Hazrat Jundub said: The example of the person who gives admonition and forgets himself is like that lamp which gives light to others and burns itself. Each one of you should look at what enters his stomach. Because when an animal dies, the first thing that bursts is its stomach. And each one of you should fear that between him and Paradise, even a handful of the blood of a Muslim may become a barrier.

A man from the tribe of ‘Urainah narrates that Hazrat Jundub Bajli set out on a journey, and some people from his tribe accompanied him. When they reached a place where some of them bade farewell to others, Jundub said: Do you not know?“Mahroob”is the one whose religion has been attacked, and“Masloob”is the one whose religion has been taken away. Beware! After Paradise, there is no poverty, and after Hell, there is no wealth. Yes, it is so that the prisoner of Hell does not attain release, and its poor one does not become rich. Then he mounted his ride and departed.

In the mosque of Mina, a man from among the jurists of the people of Syria narrated that Allah Almighty created the earth and the trees that are in the earth. And whenever anyone from the children of Adam would come to any of those trees, he would only find goodness from that tree, or it would be better for him. Thus, the state of the trees remained like this continuously until the wicked ones from among the children of Adam uttered the great statement that Allah has begotten children. At this, the earth trembled and thorns appeared in the trees.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qahzam that he said: A pouch was brought to Ibn Ziyad in which there were grains of wheat the size of date stones. And this pouch was found in the house of some members of the family of Kisra, and with it was this inscription: This is the produce of such-and-such a time, meaning it was produced in that era in which Allah was obeyed.

Hazrat Khalid Rab'i narrates that he says: There was a man among the Children of Israel who was covered with knowledge. He invented a bid'ah (innovation). Then he invited people to it and it began to be followed. One night, this thought occurred to him and he said: Leave these people; they do not know about my invention. But does Allah Almighty not know about this bid'ah that I have created? He says that he reached such a state in his repentance that he burned his collarbone and put a rope through it, then tied it to one of the pillars of the mosque and said: I will not untie it until my repentance is accepted. The narrator says: Upon this, Allah Almighty revealed to one of the prophets among the Children of Israel that you should say to so-and-so: If your sin was only between Me and you, I would have forgiven you, but what about those of My servants whom you have led astray? Thus, he entered Hell.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Marwan that he says: I heard Abu Khalil Salih regarding the Divine command {إنَّمَا یَخْشَی اللَّہَ مِنْ عِبَادِہِ الْعُلَمَائُ }. He said: The greatest scholar of God is the one who fears Him the most.

It is narrated from Hazrat Wahb bin Munabbih that he said: A man passed by a monk and asked, "O monk! How do you remember death?" The monk replied, "Whenever I take a step or lift my foot, I consider myself already dead." The man asked, "How is your state of enthusiasm?" The monk said, "I do not think that any person who hears about Paradise and Hell, even for a moment, would let an hour pass without praying." Upon this, the man said, "I also pray and weep so much that greenery grows from my tears." The monk said, "If you laugh while confessing your sins before Allah, this act is better than weeping while being proud of your deeds. Surely, the prayer of the arrogant does not rise above his head." Then the man said, "Advise me." The monk said, "Adopt indifference towards the world, do not snatch the world from the people of the world, and be like the honeybee: if it eats, it eats what is pure; if it produces, it produces what is pure; and if it lands on something, it neither harms nor breaks it. And have such goodwill for Allah as a dog has for its master: they keep it hungry and beat it, yet it continues to show goodwill and protect them."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ja'far bin Burqan that he said: It has reached me that Hazrat Ibn Munabbih used to say: The greatest aid to religion among morals is lack of desire for the world. And the most inferior thing for religion is following desires. And following desires leads to inclination towards the world, and inclination towards the world leads to love of wealth and status, and love of wealth and status leads to considering the unlawful as lawful, and considering the unlawful as lawful causes Allah Almighty to be displeased. And the wrath of Allah is such a disease for which there is no cure except the pleasure of Allah. This is such a cure that with it, no disease can harm. Whoever wants to please his Lord should displease his own self, and whoever does not displease his own self cannot please his Lord. If a person abandons something in religion that feels burdensome, it is likely that nothing will remain with him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Qasim bin Abu Bazah that he says: I heard Ibn Munabbih say that we found in the (previous) scriptures that Allah Almighty says: O son of Adam! As long as you worship Me and have hope in Me, no matter how you are, I will forgive you, and it is incumbent upon Me that I do not misguide My servant who is eager for guidance. I am the Commander.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Munabbih, he says: The person who supplicates without acting is like the one who shoots an arrow without a bow.
