● أُدْعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنُونَ بِالاِجَابَةِ...
● أُدْعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنُونَ بِالاِجَابَةِ؛ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَسْتَجِيْبُ دُعَاءً مِنْ قَلْبٍ غَافِلٍ لاهٍ. Call unto your Lord and believe that He will hear you, and know that God will not grant the prayers of those with negligent hearts. ● إِمْلاءُ الْخَيْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ السُّكُوتِ؛ وَالسُّكُوتُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ اِمْلاءِ الشَّرِّ. Calling to good weighs over silence, and silence weighs over calling to evil.
● الهَوَى مَغْفُوْرٌ لِصاحِبِهِ ما لَمْ يَعْمَلْ بِهِ أوْ يَتَكَلَّمْ. Carnal desires will be forgiven, if not put to words or action. ● حَدٌ يُعْمَلُ في الأرْضِ خَيْرٌ لِاَهْلِ الأرْضِ مِنْ أنْ يُمْطَرُوْا أرْبَعِيْنَ صَباحَاً. Carrying out heavenly- ordained punishments in this very world is better for men than forty days of raining. ● النَّظْرَةُ سَهْمٌ مَسْمُومٌ مِنْ سِهَامِ اِبْليْسَ. Casting an unlawful look (at a woman) is a poisoned arrow from Satan.
● لَزَوَالُ الدُّنيَا أهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ قَتْلِ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ. Causing the world to decline is more tolerable to God than killing a Muslim. ● لا يُغْنِي حَذَرٌ عَنْ قَدَرٍ. Caution does not block the way of fate. ● لَنْ يَنْفَعَ حَذَرٌ عَنْ قَدَرٍ، وَلكِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ يَنْفَعُ مِمَّا نَزَلَ وَمِمَّا لَمْ يَنْزِلْ. Caution is not useful against fate; rather, praying is of use against the befallen and non- befallen (events). ● الصَّدَقَةُ تَسُدُّ سَبْعِيْنَ بَابَاً مِنَ السُّوْءِ.
Charity blocks seventy doors to evil. ● الصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِىءُ الخَطِيْئَةَ كَمَا يُطْفِىءُ المَاءُ النَّارَ. Charity puts sins out just as water extinguishes fire. ● الصَّدَقَةُ عَلَى المِسْكِيْنِ صَدَقَةٌ؛ وَهِىَ عَلى ذِي الرَّحِمِ اِثْنَتَانِ: صَدَقَةٌ وَصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ. Charity to the needy is only alms- giving, but to the is alms- giving as well as strengthening kinship ties. ● الصَّدَقَةُ تَمْنَعُ مِيْتَةَ السُّوْءِ. Charity wards off hard deaths.
● الحَيَاءُ وَالإيمَانُ قُرِنا جَميعاً، فَاِذا رُفِعَ أحَدُهُما رُفِعَ الآخَرُ. Chastity and faith are interrelated. Should one of them vanish, the other will (definitely) perish. ● الحَيَاءُ وَالإيمَانُ مَقْرُونان في قَرَنٍ واحِدٍ، فَاِذا سُلِبَ أحَدُهُما تَبِعَهُ الآخَرُ. Chastity and faith are interrelated; none lasts without the other. ● الحَيَاءُ وَالإيمَانَ مَقْرَونانِ لا يَفْتَرِقاِن اِلاّ جَمِيعَاً. Chastity and faith are two companions. They do not leave (their holder), but collectively.
● الحَيَاءُ وَالعَىُّ شُعْبَتانِ مِنَ الإيمَانِ، وَالبَذاءُ وَالبَيانُ شُعْبَتانِ مِنَ النِّفاقِ.
