Imām ash-Shāfi’ī رحمه الله said:

من إِذَالَةِ العلم أن تناظر كلَّ من ناظرك وتُقاوِلَ كلَّ من قَاوَلَك

"From the degradation of knowledge is that you debate everyone who debates you, and you argue with everyone who argues with you."

[Manāqib ash-Shāfi’ī, 2/151]

In one of Shaykh Nāṣir's daring letters from prison, Shaykh Nāṣir said:


"Contrive anything you may wish against me, and give me no respite.
Conspire against me without delay. If you have anything more than
crucifixion and killing, then bring it up.
I don't care when I'm being killed as a Muslim, in which way I die for the
sake of Allāh
Because this is for Allah's Sake and if He wishes, He will bless my torn
limbs and broken joints."

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The Compassionate One has mercy on those who are merciful. If you show mercy to those who are on the earth, He Who is in the heaven will show mercy to you.
[Sunan Abi Dawud 4941]

Abdullah ibn Buraydah said:
A man from the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) travelled to Fudalah ibn Ubayd when he was in Egypt.

He came to him and said: I have not come to you to visit you. But you and I heard a tradition from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I hope you may have some knowledge of it.
He asked: What is it? He replied: So and so. He said: Why do I see you dishevelled when you are the ruler of this land?
He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has forbidden us to indulge much in luxury.
He said: Why do I see you unshod? He replied: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to command us to go barefoot at times.

[Sunan Abi Dawud 4160]

“What can my enemies do to me?
My Paradise is in my heart,
it goes with me wherever I go.
To imprison me is to provide
me with seclusion,
to send me into exile is to send me away in the path of Allāh,
and to kill me is to make me a martyr.”

✨An-Nisa, 4:78

“Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you are in lofty towers.”

🔸Death is unavoidable and predetermined by Allah, no matter how much one may try to escape or shield themselves.

🔸It reminds believers of the importance of living a righteous life, as no one can avoid their destined time.
