Knowledge on the mind..

                  

 It is reported that Al-Husayn b. Muhammad said:  

Muhammad b. Ismâ`îl Al-Bukhârî was distinguished with three qualities – in addition to the rest of his praiseworthy traits: 'He never spoke much, he never yearned for what people had. He would never occupy himself with other people’s affairs; all his attention was towards knowledge.'

Al-Dhahabî, Siyar A’lâm Al-Nubalâ`

I worshiped Allaah for Fifty Years…

Al Haafidh ad Dhahabee

 

Nasr ibn Mahmood al Balkhee said; Ahmad ibn Harb stated:

“I worshiped Allaah for fifty years, I wasn’t able to find the sweetness of worship until I forsook three things:

1.         I forsook seeking the acceptance of people, so I was able to speak the truth.

2.       I forsook the companionship of the sinner, so I was able to accompany the righteous.

3.        I forsook the sweetness of the life of this world, so I was able to find the sweetness of the afterlife.
