(939) I advise you (to be careful) about your neighbors.

(940) I advise you to be as modest to God as you are to a chaste man of your clan.

(941) I advise you to fear the Exalted God in public and in privacy, to do good after doing evil, to ask nothing from people, to hold nothing on trust and to avoid judging between two persons.

(942) I am a warner, death is a plunderer and Resurrection, a meeting place.

(943) I am anxious about three things to happen to my people after my death: deviated carnal desires, unbounded sexuality and gluttony, and negligence after knowledge.

(944) I am mostly worried about my nation of carnal desires and unfulfilled wishes.

(945) I am mostly worried about my nation, of glib-tongued hypocrites.

(946) I am not worried about my people (concerning anything), save weak faith.

(947) I am not worried about my people as to villains who may kill them or foes who may cause them to annihilate, but as to misleading leaders who will kill them in case of disobedience and impose on them seditions in case of obedience.

(948) I am not worried about my people concerning any trials, save wine and women.

(949) I am not worried about your poverty but only about taking pride in your excessive wealth, nor am I worried about your wrongdoings but only about intentional ones.

(950) I am the most eloquent Arab.

(951) I am very amazed at those who believe in eternal abode but try hard for the abode of vanity!

(952) I am worried about my (Islamic) nation more of gluttony, over-sleeping, laziness and weakness of faith than anything else.

(953) I am worried about you more for blessings than for sins. Beware that blessings not thanked for will entail your definite ruin.

(954) I am worried about you more for trials in poverty than for trials in affluence. Verily, you were afflicted with poverty but kept patient; verily the world is sweet and charming!

(955) I asked Gabriel, “Do you see your Lord? He said: “There are seventy screens of light between me and Him, the closest of which will set me afire should I happen to look at it”.

(956) I asked God to let me call my people to account (in the Hereafter), lest they might feel disgrace in the sight of others, but He-the Great and powerful -sent me a revelation, saying “O Muhammad! I Myself will call them to account and hide their sins (if any) from you, so that they will not feel disgrace even in your sight”.

(957) I assure (you) on behalf of God that each time a wise man makes a mistake, he is upgraded by God so that he finally joins Paradise.

(958) I do not like Mount Uhud to turn to gold for me and even one Dinaar of it be left with me more than three days, save for lending.

(959) I eat food like slaves and sit on the ground as they do.

(960) I established two things among you, which will keep you from going astray: the Quran and my Sunnah (ways & attitudes).They will not be detached from each other till they join me at the pond of Kawsar (in Paradise).

(961) I give you glad tidings, and you give glad tidings to others, that whoever honestly bears witness to “There is no god but Allah”, will undoubtedly be allowed to Paradise.

(962) I have been advised to keep short in talking, for it is good indeed.

(963) I know no one save a believer to be better than a thousand like unto himself/herself.

(964) I looked at Paradise and saw the poor dwelled therein the most, and at Hell wherein women were the majority (to roast).

(965) I never buy something before getting aware of its price.

(966) I saw a man in Paradise walking around a tree he had cut off in the world, for it blocked people’s path and annoyed them.

(967) I suffered in the way of God when no one suffered and I was frightened in the way of God when no one feared at all. Many a day and many a night I spent when Baal and me had nothing to eat.

(968) I swear by God that leading one to the right path is much better than having red-haired camels.

(969) I swear by God that this world to the Hereafter is just as one of you puts his finger into a sea, and see what happens! (Nothing he gains).

(970) I swear by God that you will not find anyone juster to you than me after my death.

(971) I was appointed to treat people moderately.

(972) I was appointed with a pure, easy religion and, therefore, whoever opposes my manners is not my follower.

(973) I was given the option to either choose intercession or to take half of my nation to Paradise (without final judgment), and I chose the former for it is more extended and sufficient in range. Do you think that intercession is specifically applied for pious believers? No, it is for the sinful wrong doers.

(974) I was offered short, but comprehensive words.

(975) I was so much advised to brush my teeth that I got scared lest it might become obligatory for me.

(976) I was so much advised to brush my teeth that I got scared of putting them to harm.

(977) I will inform you of what authority is, if you ask me to do so. It begins with blame, leads to remorse and ends up with the torment of the Day of Judgment.

(978) I will undertake to reserve Paradise for whoever undertakes to put no demand to people.

(979) I wonder at a Muslim who keeps patient when calamity befalls him and thanks and praises God when he attains some good.

(980) If a believer manages to hide himself in a hole, someone will be sent by God to hurt him(put him to trial).

(981) If a drop of hellish Zaghoom drips to the world, it will ruin the life of the people.So, what would happen to the ones whose otherworldly food is Zaghoom.

(982) If a relative is in need, giving alms(to others) will not be fair.

(983) If a woman perfumes herself and passes by people to please them, she will be adulterous.

(984) If animals were aware of what men know about death, they would avoid weight-growing meat.

(985) If anything could take precedence over fate, it would (definitely) be an evil eye.

(986) If bad-temperedness were a man walking(living) among people, it would be a bad one, and the Exalted God has surely not created me an abusive man.

(987) If believers knew about the punishment of God, no one of them would covet for Paradise, and if infidels knew about God’s mercy, they would not be hopeless of (being allowed to) Paradise.

(988) If evil and abuse were creatures of Allah, they would be the worst of all.

(989) If faith were in the firmament, (some) men of Persia would find a way to it.

(990) If God grants you wealth, the sign of His blessing and generosity should appear in you.

(991) If God’s servants didn’t commit sins, He would create a people who would commit sins to be forgiven by Him, for He is the most Merciful and Forgiving.

(992) If hardship enters a hole, relief will do too to make the former vanish.

(993) If I had gold as much as Mount Uhud, I would like to have nothing of it with me within three days, save for a piece by which to repay my debts.

(994) If I were to command anyone to prostrate anyone else, I would command women to prostrate their husbands.

(995) If I were to command anyone to prostrate anyone else, I would command women to prostrate their husbands, for God has invested the latter with rights in respect to the former.

(996) If it is said to the dwellers of Hell that they will stay there to the number of sands on the earth, they will rejoice, and if the same is said to the dwellers of Paradise, they will feel sad, but God has granted eternal life to the latter.

(997) If it were not for beggars’ telling lie, those who repelled them would not be praised.

(998) If it would not cause trouble for my people, I would order them to brush their teeth at prayer times.

(999) If it would not cause trouble for my people, I would order them to brush their teeth at dawns.

(1000)If knowledge were hanging from the firmament, a group of Persians would (manage to) acquire it.

(1001)If modesty were a man, it would be a decent one.

(1002)If nothing remains save one single day from the life in this world, God will prolong it so much that a man from my household will rise to fill the earth with equity just as it was filled with injustice and enormity- a man whose name and whose father’s are respectively mine and my father’s.

(1003)If one of you happens to see something interesting in himself, in his own property or in that of his brother (in faith), he should ask God for His blessings, for the evil of eyes is a reality.

(1004)If patience were a man, it would be a generous one.

(1005)If people knew what I know of loneliness, no one would ever ride(travel) alone at night.

(1006)If people were asked not to break the anciculan dung of camels, they would break it, saying, “They have asked us not to do so to spare us its benefits.”

(1007)If somebody slanders you with regard to what he knows of you, you should refrain from so doing with respect to what you know of him. Thus, you will be rewarded, and he will be punished (by God).

(1008)If someone has a piece of advice for his brother (in faith), he should mention it to him.

(1009)If son of Adam had a valley of gold, he would long for a second one, and if he had two valleys as such, he would long for a third, for his belly(hunger) will not be satiated save by soil, and God will accept the repentance of whoever He wishes.

(1010)If son of Adam had a valley of palms, he would long for the like of it to an unbounded extent, for his belly(hunger) will not be satiated save by soil.

(1011)If the Resurrection fell upon one among you while having a sapling in his (her) hand, (s)he should plant it, if possible.

(1012)If the world were as valuable to Allah as a wing of a mosquito, He would never give a sip of water to an infidel.

(1013)If the world were as valuable to Allah as a wing of a mosquito, He would never give a sip of water to an infidel.

(1014)If there were no hope, no mother would milk her child, and nobody would plant a tree.

(1015)If there were no women, (all) men would be allowed to Paradise.

(1016)If there were no women, God would be duly worshipped.

(1017)If vanity were a man, it would not be a nice one.

(1018)If women knew about their husbands’ rights, they would stand at their service till finishing lunch and supper.

(1019)If you could see death and its course, worldly desire and its happiness would turn worthless for you.

(1020)If you didn’t commit sins, God would create a people who would do so in order to be forgiven and thus sent to Paradise.

(1021)If you didn’t commit sins, I would be worried about you as to something worse… self-conceit… self-conceit.

(1022)If you expect your children to treat you equitably in beneficence and affection, treat them equally in generosity.

(1023)If you have at your disposal what suffices you, refrain from seeking what makes of you a rebel.

(1024)If you have four things, do not regret for the worldly things you have not: truthfulness, trusteeship, good manners, and abstaining from the unlawful in what you eat.

(1025)If you knew about the extent of God’s mercy, you would rely on it.

(1026)If you knew about the saved things for you, you would not feel sad for what you lack now.

(1027)If you knew what I know about the world, you would feel safe against its sorrows.

(1028)If you knew what I know, you would laugh less and weep more, with food and drink being distasteful to you.

(1029)  If you knew what I know, you would laugh less and weep more.

(1030)If you knew what I know, you would weep more and laugh less and climb to high places to entreat to God, being fearful about your (eternal) safety or ruin.

(1031)If you knew what I know, you would weep more and laugh less, for discord will come to pass, honesty will disappear, trust will be eliminated, honest men will be charged (of dishonesty), the treacherous will be regarded honest, and seditions will overcome you just as dark nights do.

(1032)If you knew what was behind questioning, nobody would ever make a request to anybody else.

(1033)If you knew what would befall you after death, you would have no appetite to eat, would never drink tastefully, would never enter a house to take rest, but would (instead) climb to summits hurting your hearts and bewailing your souls.

(1034)If you knew what you have with God, you would like to fall into more poverty and need.

(1035)If you look (deeply) at death and its course, you would hate worldly longing and its joys.

(1036)If you pour the water (semen), which is destined to be a child, on a piece of stone, the Exalted God will bring a child out of it, for He will surely create whoever is to be created.

(1037)If you seek the love of God and that of the Prophet, return the things given to you in trust, be honest in speaking and treat your neighbors well.

(1038)If you were afraid of the Exalted God, as you should, you would acquire knowledge untainted by ignorance; and if you knew the Exalted God, as He deserves, mountains would be shaken at your command.

(1039)If you wish to be a favorite to God, dislike the (material) world, and if you wish to be a favorite to people, offer them your excess.

(1040)Ignore the sins of the generous, the shortcomings of the learned and the awe of the just kings; for whenever they slip, the Exalted God gives them a hand.

(1041)Ill-speaking guys will not be allowed to Paradise.

(1042)Improvement of living shows man’s deep knowledge, and seeking what improves you is not mammonism.

(1043)In Day of Judgment, God will not make one immune from fear, if s(he) has terrified a believer, and will make one suffer humility, if s(he) has backbited a believer.

(1044)In order to keep women at home, spare them (variegated) dresses.

(1045)In Paradise, only names of the things belonging to this world exist.

(1046)In Paradise, the whip of one of you will be preferred to whatever is there between the earth and sky.

(1047)In the Day of Judgment, all affluent people will wish to have only possessed their daily bread in worldly life.

(1048)In the Day of Judgment, God will bestow the reward of seventy-two truthful men on a child who spends his pre-maturity life in the acquisition of knowledge and in worshipping Him.

(1049)In the Day of Judgment, God will forgive a leader who forgives (people) in anger.

(1050)In the Day of Judgment, God will not attend the one who collects his/her dress(from people) out of vanity.

(1051)In the Day of Judgment, God will not cast a look at the one who has committed adultery with his neighbor’s wife, will not make him purified, and will order him to enter Hell with Hell-dwellers.

(1052)In the Day of Judgment, God will surely avoid saving the one who has frightened a believer.

(1053)In the Day of judgment, judges would experience an hour when they would wish for not having had judged between two persons even on a date.

(1054)In the Day of Judgment, people are first called to account concerning blood(shed).

(1055)In the Day of Judgment, the Exalted God addresses man, saying: “O son of Adam! I got sick, but to Me you did not pay a visit!” Man asks, “How could I visit You, Lord of the worlds?” God says: “Do you not remember that such and such a servant of me was sick, but you didn’t visit him? Had you visited him, you would have met Me with him.” Then, God continues, “O son of Adam! I requested you to give me food, but you didn’t do what you could!” Man asks, “How could I offer food to You, Lord of the worlds?” God says: “Don’t you remember that such and such a servant of Me asked you for food, but to him you were rude? Had you offered him food, with Me you would have found it.” Then, God continues, “O son of Adam! I demanded you to give me water, but you hesitated to offer!” Man asks, “How could I give water to You, Lord of the worlds?” God says: “Don’t you remember that such and such a servant of Me asked you for water, but you refused to offer? Had you offered him water, with Me you would have found it.”

(1056)In the Resurrection, a caller will call out, saying, “whoever has done something for anyone other than God, should ask him for reward”.

(1057)In the sight of God, seeking knowledge is superior to prayer, fasting, pilgrimage to Mecca, and jihad (struggling in the way of God, the Greatest and the most Powerful).

(1058)In usury, both parties are equally sinful.

(1059)In whatever state one dies, in the same way will God resurrect him/her.

(1060)Increase in knowledge with lack of increase in reluctance to the world results in one’s further remoteness from God.

(1061)Inform the rulers of the needs of those who cannot do so, for whoever performs such an action will be granted steadfast feet by God to pass over the Bridge in the Day of Resurrection.

(1062)Insulting a Muslim is wickedness, fighting him is blasphemy, and his wealth is as worthy as his blood.

(1063)Is there anybody to walk on water without getting wet? That’s why a man of the world will not be safe from sins.

(1064)Islam (submission to God) is an overt (phenomenon), but faith is (hidden) in heart.

(1065)Islam is based on the following five (pillars): bearing witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) is His Messenger, setting up prayer, paying the poor due, making pilgrimage to Mecca and keeping fast in the month of Ramadan.

(1066)Islam is clean (pure).Be clean, therefore, for nobody will be allowed to Paradise save the clean people.

(1067)Islam is superior (to all things) and nothing will take precedence over it.

(1068)It happens that a servant (of God) commits a sin, but he is given entrance to Paradise for he minds it time and again and remains penitent thereof.

(1069)It is a capital treachery to tell your brother (in faith) something that he takes as truth, while it’s not.

(1070)It is a right for a child that his father should choose him a good name, provide him with good opportunities and teach him the best acts of civility.

(1071)It is a right for a man that his wife should avoid keeping away from his bed, should act upon his promises, should obey his orders, should avoid leaving his house without his permission, and should avoid inviting to his house those whom he dislikes.

(1072)It is a right for a man that his wife should avoid keeping fast without his permission, excepting obligatory fasting; otherwise, she will be sinful and her fasts unacceptable, that she should avoid donating of his property anything to anybody without his permission; otherwise, she will be sinful and the husband will be rewarded for that, and that she should avoid leaving his house without his permission (though he is a cruel man); otherwise, God and the angels of wrath will curse her until she returns home or repents.

(1073)It is a right for a son that his father should choose him a good name, help him marry as he matures and teach him (the skill of) writing.

(1074)It is a right for a son that his father should teach him (the skills of) writing, shooting and swimming, feed him with good (lawful) food and help him marry when he gets mature.

(1075)It is a right for a woman that her husband should share with her what he eats, should clothe her as he clothes himself, should avoid slapping her on the face and slandering her, and should avoid leaving her alone save in his own house.

(1076)It is allowed to amuse oneself with training one’s horse, shooting with one’s bow and jesting with one’s spouse.

(1077)It is as if those other than us had to follow the truth, as if death were only destined for other than us, and as if the dead whose funeral procession we witness everyday were travelers who would soon return to us, for we bury their bodies and divide their wealth as if we would be immortal after them. We have in fact connived at all admonitions and feel that we are safe against all events.

(1078)  It is better for a man to give a Dirham in charity in his lifetime than to give a hundred Dirhams at the verge of death.

(1079)It is better for a man to train his child well than to give a handful of food in charity.

(1080)It is better for a man's mind to be filled with infection than with poetry.

(1081)It is better for a woman to pray in a room of her house than in the veranda, to pray in the veranda than in the yard, and to pray in the yard than in the mosque.

(1082)It is better for any one of you to take in a piece of earth than to take in unlawful things.

(1083)It is better to nail on your head than to touch a woman not legitimate for you.

(1084)It is blasphemy to dispute about the Quran.

(1085)  It is clear what is lawful and what is unlawful. Thus, keep distance with what you doubt about, and stick to what you don’t.

(1086)It is hard for God to put to Hell a Muslim servant who has lost two daughters.

(1087)It is not abstinence to abandon the lawful or to waste one’s wealth. Abstinence, in fact, lies in trusting not what you possess more than what God possesses, and in being more desirous for its (eternal) reward when calamity befalls than for its non-occurrence.

(1088)It is not good for a believer to belittle himself.

(1089)It is not telling lie to bear tales intending to make two persons rejoin.

(1090)It is not your enemy whose murder by you brings you prosperity, and your murder by him brings you Paradise; rather, your worst enemy is(perhaps) your own child and the wealth you have earned.

(1091)It is of humility to associate with the needy.

(1092)It is permissible to backbite the one who tears off the screen of chastity.

(1093)It is quite probable that envy (evil eye) overcome fate.

(1094)It is the right of a neighbor to pay him a visit in sickness, to attend his funeral procession, to lend him money in times of need, to congratulate him in happiness, to console him in sadness and to avoid constructing your building higher than his, lest you should block up the wind blowing to his house.

(1095)It is undesirable for a ruler to accept gifts, and blasphemous for a judge to do so.

(1096)It is unlawful for the men of my people, but not for women, to dress themselves in silk and gold.

(1097)It may happen that a man beseeches the Exalted God to settle his need, but He does not grant his request on account of a reason and thus, he charges people of being unjust to him, saying, “who has taken away my share”?

(1098)It may happen that a man is raised in Paradise, and on asking how this happened, he will be told, “Your son has asked forgiveness for you”.

(1099)It may happen that a man or a woman worships (obeys) God, the Exalted, for sixty years, but at the time of death, (s) he does not act properly concerning his (her) testament and thus, Hell will be indispensable for him (her).

(1100)It may happen that a man performs deeds, which seem heavenly to others, but he is, in fact, a dweller of Hell, and it may happen that a man performs deeds, which seem hellish to others, but he is, in fact, a dweller of Paradise.

(1101)It may happen that a man performs heavenly deeds for a long time but his deeds end up with those of the dwellers of Hell, and it may happen that a man does hellish deeds for a long time but his deeds end up with those of the dwellers of Paradise.

(1102)It may happen that a servant (of God) gives a loaf of bread in charity but it turns out to be great as Mount Uhud to God.

(1103)It may happen that one of you is used to performing heavenly deeds so that there remains only a cubit between him and Paradise, but (suddenly) his fate outruns his deeds and he commits a hellish deed which earns him Hell, and it may happen that one of you is used to performing hellish deeds so that there remains only a cubit between him and Hell, but (suddenly) his fate outruns his deeds and he commits a heavenly deed which earns him Paradise.

(1104)It was quite probable that poverty end in blasphemy.

(1105)It was quite probable that the patient be appointed to prophethood.

(1106)It will be sufficient for a man if the Exalted God know his dissatisfaction as to what he sees indecent but is unable to change.

(1107)It would be much better for one to give a penny in health (in the way of God) than to emancipate a salve at the point of death.
