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.

If a person has ten habits out of which nine are good and one bad, that bad one will destroy the good ones.

Sit with those who constantly repent, for they have the softest hearts.

Allah loves moderation and hates extravagance and excess.

For those who practise tyranny and deprive others of their rights, I will be harsh and stern, but for those who follow the law, I will be most soft and tender.

Patience is the healthiest ingredient of our life.

Death is teacher enough, true faith is wealth enough, and worship is action enough.
