Wisdoms from Al Hasan Al Basree“Two bad comrades are the dinar and the dirham. They are useful to you only when they leave you.” “Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days, whenever each day passes then part of you has gone.” “Death has shown the reality of this worldly life. It did not leave any happiness for those who are wise.” “The laughter of a believer is a sign of the inadvertence of his heart.” “A believer believes in what God has said.
He is the best of men in his deeds, but he fears God most, so that if
he spends the size of a mountain of money, he would not be sure of his
reward until he sees this with his own eyes. The more righteous and
charitable the believer is, the more afraid of God he becomes. While the hypocrite says: Men are too many, I shall be forgiven. There is no harm on me. Thus he acts badly, but wishes many things from God.“
Hasan al-Basri said when he came across a group of people disputing: “These ones have become tired of worship, speaking has become easy for them, and their piety has diminished, and that is why they talk.” Hope this is useful. | |
