Sufyān Ath-Thawrī (may Allāh have mercy on him) said: “Your coming to the prayer before the iqāmah is a showing of respect for the prayer.”

وروى المعافى، عن سفيان الثوري، قال: مجيئك إلى الصلاة قبل الإقامة توقير للصلاة.

“The Sunnah according to us is for the person to believe in divine decree,
السُنَّة: أن يؤمن الرجل بالقدر

The good of it and the bad of it,
خيره وشره،

That which is sweet and that which is bitter.
حلوه ومره،

And for him to know that which befell him was not going to miss him,
وأن يعلم أن ما أصابه لم يكن ليخطئه,

and that which missed him was not going to befall him.
وأن ما أخطأه لم يكن ليصيبه،

All of that is from the divine decree of Allāh the Exalted.”

The Qur'ān is the Speech of Allāh.
والقرآن: كلام الله

I heard Sufyān ibn Uyanah saying: “The Qur'ān is the Speech of Allāh,
سمعت سفيان يقول لي: القرآن كلام الله،

And whoever says it is created then he is an innovator.
ومن قال (مخلوق) فهو مبتدع،

We have not heard anyone saying this.”

Ya’qoob Ibn Sufyān (rahimahullaah) said:
مَا أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أنا دُرُسْتُوَيْهِ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ , قَالَ:

I heard a person saying to Aḥmad Bin Yūnus (rahimahullaah): “Is Abdullāh Al-Umariy a weak narrator (of hadīth)?”
سَمِعْتُ إِنْسَانًا يَقُولُ لِأَحْمَدَ بْنِ يُونُسَ: عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْعُمَرِيُّ ضَعِيفٌ؟

He (Aḥmad) said “Indeed, he is weak.
قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا يُضَعِّفُهُ

He is a Raafidi who harbors hatred towards his forefathers;
رَافِضِيُّ مُبْغِضٌ لِآبَائِهِ ,

And had you seen his beard, his graceful and fine physical (appearance), you would have conceded that he is trustworthy.”
وَلَوْ رَأَيْتَ لِحْيَتَهُ وَخِضَابَهُ وَهَيْئَتَهُ لَعَرَفْتَ أَنَّهُ ثِقَةٌ»

[Al-Haafidh Al-Khateeb al Baghdādī (rahimahullaah) said]: “So Aḥmad Ibn Yūnus used this as a proof that ‘Abdullāh Al-’Umari (appeared) trustworthy through that which was not a proof;
فَاحْتَجَّ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ عَلَى أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ الْعُمَرِيَّ ثِقَةٌ بِمَا لَيْسَ حُجَّةً ,

Because fine physical appearance is something shared between a trustworthy person and a disparaged person.”
لِأَنَّ حُسْنَ الْهَيْأَةِ مِمَّا يَشْتَرِكُ فِيهِ الْعَدْلُ وَالْمَجْرُوحُ

And whatever has been stated by the Qur'ān and ahadīth; such as:
وما نطق به القرآن والحديث , مثل:

“The Jews say: “Allāh's Hand is tied up.” Be their hands tied up.” (Sūrah Al-Mā'idah 5:64)
{وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ يَدُ اللَّهِ مَغْلُولَةٌ غُلَّتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ} ... [المائدة 64] ,

And: “And the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand”. (Sūrah Az-Zumar 39:67)
ومثل: {السَّموَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ} [الزمر:67] ,

And what is similar to that from the Qur'ān and Hadith;
وما أشبه هذا من القرآن والحديث

We do not increase in it nor intrepret it.
لا نزيد فيه ولا نفسره.

We stop where the Qur'ān and Sunnah stops.
نقف على ما وقف عليه القرآن والسُنَّة.

‘Imrān ibn Abī Al-Ja’d reported that ‘Abdullāh ibn Mas’ūd (may Allāh be pleased with him) said:

“Indeed, the people make their speech very good and appropriate;
ان الناس قد احسنوا القول فمن وافق قوله

The one whose speech is in conformity with his actions is that one who has achieved his portion of (goodness)
فعله فذاك الذي أصاب حظه

And the one whose speech is in opposition to his actions, then he is that one who has rebuked himself.”
ومن لا يوافق قوله فعله فذاك الذي يوبخ نفسه\".

“Seeking guidance from the people of misguidance is the most terrible ignorance.”

And indeed many of the creation become helpless when their loved ones die.
وَقَدْ خُذِلَ خَلْقٌ كَثِيرٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِ أَحْبَابِهِمْ

So amongst them is one who tears his clothes;
فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ خَرَقَ ثَوْبَهُ

And amongst them is one who strikes his face out of despair,
وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَطَمَ

And amongst them is one who raise objections.
وَمِنْهُمْ مَنِ اعْتَرَضَ

And indeed I have seen an old man who reached nearly eighty years of age and he used to strictly guard the congregational prayer.
وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلا كَبِيرًا قَدْ قَارَبَ الثَّمَانِينَ وَكَانَ يُحَافِظُ عَلَى الْجَمَاعَةِ

So a son of his died,
فَمَاتَ وَلَدٌ لابْنَتِهِ

And he said: “It is not befitting for anyone to supplicate, for indeed he will not be answered.”
فَقَالَ مَا يَنْبَغِي لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُ

He then said: “Indeed Allāh has turned away from us, for He has not left us with a child.”
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَانِدُنَا

So, I realized that his prayers and performance of good deeds was merely a habitual thing, because they were not nurtured upon knowledge and Īmān.
فَمَا يَتْرُكُ لَنَا وَلَدًا فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّ صَلَوَاتَهُ وَفِعْلَهُ لِلْخَيْرِ عَادَةٌ لأَنَّهُ لَا يَنْشَأُ عَنْ مَعْرِفَةٍ وَإِيمَانٍ

These (people) are those who worship Allāh on an edge.

"All praise is for Allāh who, in every age and interval between the Prophets,
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي كُلِّ زَمَانِ فَتْرَةٍ مِنْ الرُّسُلِ

Raises up a group from the People of Knowledge,
بَقَايَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ

Who call the misguided to guidance
يَدْعُونَ مَنْ ضَلَّ إلَى الْهُدَى،

And patiently bear the ill-treatment and harm of the people.
وَيَصْبِرُونَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى الْأَذَى،

With the Book of Allāh they give life to the dead,
وَيُحْيُونَ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى الْمَوْتَى،

And by Allāh‘s light they give sight to the blind.
وَيُبَصِّرُونَ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ أَهْلَ الْعَمَى،

How many (hearts) who were killed by Iblīs have they revived (by Allāh's permission).
فَكَمْ مِنْ قَتِيلٍ لِإِبْلِيسٍ قَدْ أَحْيَوْهُ،

How many people astray and wandering have they guided (by Allāh’s permission).
وَكَمْ مِنْ ضَالٍّ تَائِهٍ قَدْ هَدَوْهُ،

How beautiful has their effect been upon the people,
فَمَا أَحْسَنَ أَثَرَهُمْ عَلَى النَّاسِ

And how cruel have the people been towards them.”
