Haqq and Sabr

  “Indeed the Salafis are not infallible, however, they are the people upon the Truth.(Ahlul-Haq), They are Ahlus-Sunnah and they are the best of people in ‘Aqeedah, Manhaj, manners, etiquettes, and knowledge.”   Shaikh, Al-‘Allamah, Rabee’ Ibn Hādi (may Allāh preserve him) from (Majmū’ Kutub wa Rasā’il wa Fatāwa of Shaikh Rabee’, 10/115)

    A man once asked Abū Al-Dardāʾ – Allāh be pleased with him – for advice. He said:   Remember Allāh in good times and He will mention you in hard times. When you remember those who have passed away, consider yourself like one of them. And when you think of involving yourself in some worldly matter, consider first what it will lead to in the end.   Al-Dhahabī in Siyar Aʿlām Al-Nubalāʾ, under the biography of Abū Al-Dardāʾ.

    Abū ‘Uthmān Sa’īd b. Ismā’īl Al-Naysābūrī (d290H) said:   Whoever governs himself by the (Hadith) Sunnah – in word and deed – will speak with wisdom. But whoever governs himself according to his own desires will speak heresies (bid’ah); because Allah tabāraka wa ta’ālā said: And if you obey him (the Messenger) you will be guided. [Sūrah Al-Nūr: 54]

  Whenever Mālik b. Anas – Allah have mercy on him – would sit to narrate ḥadīth he would bath and perfume himself. If anyone raised his voice in the gathering [Imām Mālik] would reprimand him and say, “Lower your voice, for Allah tabāraka wa ta’ālā said: O Believers! Do not raise your voices over that of the Prophet [Sūrah Al-Ḥujarāt: 2]   Whoever raises his voice over the sound of the ḥadīth of Allah’s Messenger – peace and blessing be upon him, then it is as if he is raising his voice over that of the Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.” Nasr b. Ibrāhīm Al-Maqdisī
