'I Do Not Recall Playing In The Street With Other Children Nor Laughing Openly'
“Many of the favours bestowed upon me are not due to my own doing; rather they are the Sublimes plan for me, I do not recall myself except with a lofty & strong resolve - even when I was a mere boy of six years and associating with older children. I was bestowed with intellect and I would read profusely as a child. I do not ever recall playing in the street with other children nor laughing openly, when I was approximately 7 years old I would search for the circle of the Muhaddith, and he would relate easy things to me so I would memorise all that I would hear, then go home and write it down.”

Your Own Muslim Brother Is Not Safe From You?
...and do not speak bad of one another..[49:12]
Sufyân ibn Husayn al-Wâsitî narrates:
“I spoke ill of a person in the presence of Iyâs bin Mu’âwiyah al-Muzanî who was the judge of Basra, a Tâbi’î and a very intelligent person. He looked straight in my face and asked
Did you wage war against the Romans?’
I replied: “No”.
He asked, 'Did you wage war against Sind, India and the Turks?'
I replied “No”,
‘How is it then, that the Romans, the Sindis, the Indians and the Turks are safe from you whilst your own Muslim Brother is not safe from you?”
Sufyan narrates: I never did this again

There were once a people before you
Hence they would contemplate upon it in the night
and act upon it in the day…

You Know Yourself Better Than They Do..
It is related that once in the presence of Imâm Mâlik somebody praised the governor – consequently Imâm Mâlik became angry and said:
“Beware lest these people beguile you through their praise of you. Whoever praises you and says good about you which is not in you is just as likely to say evil about you which is not in you.”
“Be on your guard about claiming for yourself or being pleased with what one of them says to your face…for you know yourself better than they do.”
“I have heard that a man praised another man in the presence of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم and the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said to him, ‘You have cut his back’ or ‘his neck’. If he had heard it, he would not have prospered.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said, “Throw dirt in the faces of people who praise too much”.

Yet how can I not call unto you when you are the Most Benevolent …

The Beauty Of A Person's Islâm...
If Allâh takes away your tongue and gives back to you your heart he has been extremely kind to you; but if he takes away from you your heart and gives you back your tongue then know that you are in a serious calamity.
