Hassan Al Basree رحمه الله said:
“We
laugh and yet – who knows? – perhaps Allaah has looked at some of our works and
said: “I will not accept anything from you.” Woe to you, son of Aadam! Can you
fight Allaah? Whoever disobeys Allaah is fighting Him. By Allaah! I have met
seventy veterans of Badr. Most of their garments were wool. Had you seen them
you would have said they are crazy, and had they seen the best among you they
would have said: “Those people will have no part in the Hereafter.”
Had
they seen the worst among you they would have said: “Those people do not
believe in the Day of Reckoning.” I have seen people for whom this world was
cheaper than the dust under their feet. I have seen people the like of whom
would come home at night, not finding more than his own portion of food, and
yet say: “I shall not put all of this into my belly. I shall certainly give
some away for Allaah’s sake.” Then he would give away some of his food in
charity, even if he were more in need of it than its recipient.”
[Narrated
from `Alqama ibn Marthad|By Abu Nu`aym in Hilya al-Awliya’ (1985 ed.
2:134)]
