- When
Allah wills to punish a worm, He gives it two wings so that it will fly and a
bird will kill it.
- The fulfilment
of the trusts and honesty bring earnings, while treachery and fabrication cause
poverty and hypocrisy.
- As for
those who beat the hand on the thigh or strike the hands together in
misfortunes, their rewards will be cancelled.
- Allah
aids in as much as the need and endows with steadfastness in as much as the
misfortune.
- Everything
has its tax and the tax of the body is the recommendable fasting.
- Amicability
is half of the intelligence.
- He who
supplicates to Allah before he praises Him and blesses the Holy Prophet (s.a.)
is as same as throwing an arrow without the existence of a string.
- The
graces will persist for the moderate and the satisfied. The graces will be
removed from the immoderate and the exaggerative.
- The
moderate will never be needy.
- Moderation is the half of the livelihood.
- He who is certain of the reward will give
generously.
- Favors are worthless unless they are done to the
highborn or the religious.
- Very much care drives into senility.
- No one will gain the reward of suffering a
misfortune unless he who forbears it and says: We are Allah’s, and to Him we
will return.
- Hastiness is the true clumsiness.
- Fewness of the dependants is one of the two
facilities.
- To depress the parents is impiety to them.
- The believers' favors are worthless unless they are
disregarded, veiled, and provided as soon as possible. He who disregards his
favors is surely revering his friend to whom he has done the favor, he who
considers his favors is surely disgracing his friend to whom he has done the
favor, he who covers up the favors that he does is surely honoring his deeds,
and he who fulfils his promises as soon as possible is surely giving pleasant
gifts.
- The nafilas are the offertories of every believer
to Allah.
- Hajj is the jihad of every weak.
- After the acknowledgment of Allah, the best worship
is expecting the Relief.
