Verily...

Verily, a believer struggles in the way of God by his sword as well as his tongue. ● إنَّ أُنَاسَاً مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَسْتَفْقِهُونَ فِي الدِّيْنِ؛ وَيَقْرَأُوْنَ القُرْآنَ؛ وَيَقُوْلُونَ: نَأْتِي الأُمَرَاءَ فَنُصِيْبُ مِنْ دُنْياهُمْ وَنَعْتَزِلُهُمْ بِدِيْنِنا؛ وَلا يِكُونُ ذلِكَ كَما لا يُجْتَنَى مِنَ القَتَادِ إلاّ الشَّوْكُ؛ لا يُجْتَنى مِنْ قُرْبِهِمْ اِلاّ خَطَايَا.

Verily, a group of my people seek the knowledge of religion, recite the Quran and say, "We join rulers to avail ourselves of their worldly possessions and we keep our faith intact in their company," but this is impossible, for as quatted fruits nothing but thorn, nearness to rulers avails them nothing but vice. capacious (to contain the knowledge of God). ● اِنَّ الْقُلُوبَ بَيْنَ اِصْبَعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِع اللَّهِ يَقْلِبُهَا.

Verily, (men's) hearts are within God's two fingers, changing them (as He wishes). ● اِنَّ هذِهِ القُلُوبَ تَصْدَأُ كَمَا يَصْدَأُ الحَدِيْدُ، قِيْلَ: فَمَا جَلاؤهَا؟ قَالَ: ذِكْرُ المَوْتِ وَتِلاوَةُ القُرْآنِ. Verily, (men's) hearts rust as iron. "What chisels them?" they asked. "Remembrance of death and recitation of the Quran," replied the Prophet (P. B. U. H). ● اِنَّ المَرْءَ كَثِيْرٌ بِأَخِيْهِ وَابْنِ عَمِّهِ.

Verily, (one single) man makes a large circle in the company of his brothers and cousins. ● اِنَّ الْغَادِرَ يُنْصَبُ لَهُ لِوَاءٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ؛ فَيُقَالُ: أَلا هذِهِ غَدْرَةُ فُلانِ ابْنِ فُلانٍ. Verily, a banner will be raised for the treacherous in the Day of Judgement, and someone will call out, "this is the treachery of so and so, son of so and so". ● اِنَّ المُؤْمِنَ لَيُدْرِكُ بِحُسْنِ الخُلْقِ دَرَجَةَ الْقَائِمِ الصَّائِمِ.

Verily, a believer can through good- temperedness reach the status of those who keep fast during days and stand up to prayer at nights. ● اِنَّ المُؤْمِنَ يُنْضِي شِيْطَانَهُ؛ كَمَا يُنْضِي أَحَدُكُمْ بَعِيْرَهُ في السَّفَرِ. Verily, a believer emaciates the Satan appointed for him (her) just as you make your camel skinny in journeys. ● اِنَّ المُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ. Verily, a believer struggles in the way of God by his sword as well as his tongue.

● إنَّ أُنَاسَاً مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَسْتَفْقِهُونَ فِي الدِّيْنِ؛ وَيَقْرَأُوْنَ القُرْآنَ؛ وَيَقُوْلُونَ: نَأْتِي الأُمَرَاءَ فَنُصِيْبُ مِنْ دُنْياهُمْ وَنَعْتَزِلُهُمْ بِدِيْنِنا؛ وَلا يِكُونُ ذلِكَ كَما لا يُجْتَنَى مِنَ القَتَادِ إلاّ الشَّوْكُ؛ لا يُجْتَنى مِنْ قُرْبِهِمْ اِلاّ خَطَايَا.
