It is narrated from Mutarrif bin Abdullah (may Allah have mercy on him) that I traveled with Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) from Kufa to Basra. Every day, without fail, he would recite poetry to us and say: There is allowance to avoid lying in allusion (ta‘reed/tawriyah).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: I am amazed at the person who tries to escape from destiny even though it is bound to befall him, and he can see the speck in his brother’s eye but does not see the beam in his own eye, and he wants to remove malice from his brother’s heart but leaves malice in his own heart. And I have never entrusted my secret to anyone and then blamed him for disclosing it. How can I blame him when I myself was too narrow-hearted to keep it safe?

It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: A man afflicted with a calamity passed by some women, and they laughed at him and mocked him, so some of those women were afflicted with the same calamity.
