Do not fear a man who possesses wealth or weapons. Fear the one whose true capital is his supplication.
When he rises in the depths of the night, with tears flowing freely, he prostrates before his Lord and mentions you in his duʿā’.
{…فَمَن تَبِعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ}
{…whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.}
Al-Baqarah: 38
{…فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَىٰ}
{…then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter].}
Taha: 123
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:
“Gratefulness to Allāh means obeying Him and getting closer to him by performing those deeds that have been ordained by Him, both the inner and the outer ones.”
[📚al-Fawā’id | Pg. 207]
Ibn al Jawzi رحمه الله said,
“A woman is a delicate vessel her moods and states change with time. Whoever is patient with her has true intellect.”
[Sayd al Khatir]
A man insulted Imām Wakīʿ رحمه الله (but he did not respond to him).
So it was said to him:
“Will you not respond to him?”
He replied:
Then what was the purpose that we studied this knowledge for?
[روضة العقلاء: 166]
Abdullāh ibn Mas’ūd رضي الله عنه said:
If I had ten days left to live, and I knew that I would die by the end of them, and I had enough time to get married, I would get married, due to fear of temptation!
[سُنَن سعيد بن منصور رقم ٤٩٣]
Shaykh Sa’adee رحمه اللّٰه said:
Their (the Believers’) hearts become cooled due to the Quran (and) their worldly and religious matters become corrected.
[Tafseer as-Sa'adee رحمه اللّٰه, pg. 609]
‘Amir bin ‘Abd Qays رحمه الله said:
I loved Allāh with a love that made every trial easy, and made me accept everything, so with the love that I bear for Him, I don’t care what happens to me in the evening or morning.
[الحلية، ٢/٨٩]
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a woman:
So look where you are from him (i.e. how you treat your husband) for verily he is your PARADISE and your HELLFIRE.
[صححه الألباني في كتاب الزفاف في السنة المطهرة ص ٢٨٦]
Imam al Munawi رحمه الله explained this narration in Fayd al Qadeer to mean that
a husband’s pleasure is the cause of his wife’s admittance into Jannah and likewise her cause of entering Hellfire is due to the displeasure of her husband.
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said,
Sins are the cause of every deficiency, calamity and evil in this life and the Hereafter.
[Madarij as-Salikin, 1/475, Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah)]
