O man! Prepare yourself for the Hereafter, obey Allah to the extent of your need for Him and anger Him to the extent of your patience in Hell.

If i were to backbite against anyone, it would be about my parents for they have more right to my good deeds

I love the saliheen (pious people) even though I’m not one of them, and I hate the taliheen (evil people) even though I (may be) worse than them.

I studied adab for thirty years and I studied knowledge for twenty years.
