-" ثلاثة يدعون فلا يستجاب لهم: رجل كانت تحته امراة سيئة الخلق فلم يطلقها، ورجل كان له على رجل مال فلم يشهد عليه، ورجل آتى سفيها ماله وقد قال الله عز وجل: * (ولا تؤتوا السفهاء اموالكم) *".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three types of people who make supplication, but their supplication is not accepted: (1) The person whose wife has bad character and he does not divorce her. (2) The man who borrows money from someone but does not appoint a witness over it. And (3) the man who gives wealth to a foolish person (i.e., a minor or inexperienced person who does not have the ability to manage wealth), even though Allah the Exalted has said: Do not entrust your wealth to the foolish."

- (إن إبليس! يضع عرشه على الماء (وفي طريق: البحر)، ثم يبعث سراياه؛ فادناهم منه منزلة اعظمهم فتنة، يجيء احدهم فيقول: فعلت كذا وكذا، فيقول: ما صنعت شيئا، ثم يجيء احدهم فيقول: ما تركته حتى فرقت بينه وبين امراته، فيدنيه منه ويقول: نعم انت! قال الاعمش: اراه قال: فيلتزمه).
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Iblis places his throne upon the water (in one narration: upon the sea), then he sends out his armies (to misguide people). The one (devil) who causes the greatest tribulation is the closest to him in rank. One returns and says: I did such and such. Iblis says: You have done nothing. Another comes and says: I did not leave him until I separated him from his wife. Iblis brings him near and says: What a fine fellow you are!" A’mash (the narrator) says: I think my sheikh also narrated these words: "Then he embraces him."

-" ما احرز الولد او الوالد فهو لعصبته من كان".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him): Ri'ab bin Hudhaifah married a woman, and she bore him three children. When their mother died, they inherited her property and the guardianship of her freed slaves. Amr bin al-As was the 'asaba (agnatic relative) of her sons; he sent these children towards Syria, where they died. When Amr bin al-As returned, the (freed) slave of this woman died, leaving behind some wealth. The brothers of this woman came to Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) with a dispute. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whatever a child or a father accumulates will go to his 'asaba, whoever they may be."

-" افما يسرك إذا ادخلك الله الجنة ان تجده على باب من ابوابها فيفتحه لك. يعني ابنه الصغير".
Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Qurrah narrates from his uncle, that is, the brother of Qurrah bin Iyas, that he used to come to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) with his young child and would seat him in front of him. (One day) the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked him: "Do you love him?" He replied: "I love him very much." (As Allah willed) that child passed away. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him: "Will you be saddened (at the separation from your child)?" He replied: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Would you be pleased that when Allah admits you to Paradise, you find this child at the gate of Paradise and he opens the gate for you?" He said: "Why not." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "So it shall be, insha’Allah (if Allah wills)."
