On every dishonest man, there are two watchmen, his possessions, and his way of living.

A man may be as straight as an arrow, but even then he will have some critics.

He who does not live in the way of his beliefs starts to believe in the way he lives.

By Allah, whenever I endure any adversity I gain four blessings of Allah in exchange. The first of them is, when the adversity is not caused by my sin (virtue is earned). The second, when the adversity is not greater than my sin (virtue is earned). The third, when I am not deprived of contentment (virtue is earned). And the fourth, I hope for virtues thereby.

The wisest among you is he whose sustenance is the fear of Allah.

That which you do not wish for yourself, do not impose on others.

I am surprised at three things: 1. [A] man runs from death while death is inevitable. 2. One sees minor faults in others, yet overlooks his own major faults. 3. When there is any defect to one's cattle he tries to cure it, but does not cure his own defects.
