David said: putting your arm up to the elbow in the mouth of a dragon to smash it to pieces is better than making a request to upstarts. ● ما المَوْتُ فِيْما بَعْدَهُ إلاّ كَنَطْحَةِ عَنْزٍ. Death compared to its aftermath is like unto a goat's butting. ● تُحْفَةُ المُؤْمِنِ المَوْتُ. Death is a gift for believers. ● المَوْتُ كَفَّارَةٌ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ وَمُسْلِمَةٍ. Death is the expiation (of sins) for all Muslim men and women. ● مَوْتُ الغَرِيْبِ شَهَادَةٌ.

Death of a lonely person is martyrdom. ● الدَّيْنُ هَمٌّ بِاللَّيْلِ وَمَذَلَّةٌ بِالنَّهَارِ. Debt causes day's abasement and night's grief. ● الدَّيْنُ يَنْقُصُ مِنَ الدِّيْنِ وَالحَسَبِ. Debt causes defect in one's faith and descent. ● الدَّيْنُ شَيْنُ الدِّيْنِ. Debt defiles one's faith. ● الدَّيْنُ رَايَةُ اللَّهِ في الأرْضِ فَاِذا أَرَادَ أنْ يُذِلَّ عَبْدَاً وَضَعَهَا في عُنُقِهِ. Debt is God's banner on earth, which He puts on the shoulder of the one He wishes to abase.

● كَفَى اِثْمَاً أنْ تَحْبِسَ عَمَّنْ تَمْلِكُ قُوْتَهُ. Declining your subjects' daily bread suffices to make of you a sinner. ● المَمْعَكَ طَرَفٌ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ. Delay in the payment of debt is a form of injustice. ● ثَلاثٌ لا تُؤَخِّرُوْهُنَّ: الصَّلاةُ اِذا أَتَتْ؛ وَالجِنَازَةُ اِذا حَضَرَتْ؛ وَالاَيِّمُ اِذا وَجَدَتْ كُفْؤَاً.

Delay in three things is not allowed: setting prayers in due time, carrying a dead body (for burial) as soon as possible, and marrying a widow to someone equal in status with her. ● مَنْ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ العُذْرَ مِنْ مُتَنَصِّلٍ صَادِقَاً كَانَ أوْ كَاذِبَاً لَمْ يَنَلْ شَفَاعَتِي. Deprived from my intercession will be the one who does not accept someone's sincere or insincere apology.

● أَتاني جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ: يا مُحَمَّدُ؛ عِشْ مَا شِئْتَ؛ فَاِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ؛ وَأَحْبِبْ مَا شِئْتَ؛ فَاِنَّكَ مُفارِقُهُ؛ وَاعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ؛ فَاِنَّكَ مَجْزِيٌّ بِهِ. وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ شَرَفَ الْمُؤْمِنِ قِيامُهُ بِاللَّيْلِ؛ وَعِزُّهُ اسْتِغْنَاؤُهُ عَنِ النَّاسِ. Descended to me Gabriel and said: "Muhammad! Live as long as you wish, for you will finally perish, love whatever you mind, for you will leave it behind and do whatever you want to do, for its reward will come back to you.

Know that night vigilance (for worship) is man's dignity and needlessness from people shows his magnanimity. ● الحَسَبُ المَالُ. Descent is (like unto) wealth. ● الدَّنَانِيْرُ وَالدَّرَاهِمُ خَوَاتِيْمُ اللَّهِ في أرْضِهِ، مَنْ جَاءَ بِخَاتَمِ مَوْلاهُ قُضِيَتْ حَاجَتُهُ.
