The eye reveals

Amr ibn Muhammad An Nasaa'ee recited (these words) to me:

"The eye reveals what is within the soul, or hatred or love if present;
Indeed one who harbours hatred has an eye (look) which is apparent unable to conceal it by what lies within his heart.

The eye speaks even though the mouth moves not;
To the point whre you would clearly see what lies within the heart."


(Rawdhatul 'Uqalaa p.49)

Ibrahim Ibn Adam said:
"if kings knew the blessing we have they would have faught us by swords for it"

Al-Hasan al-Basri said when he heard a group of people arguing:
"These people have become bored with worship, and speech has become light upon (their tongue), and their piety has decreased and that is why they speak"
Narrated by Ahmad in az-Zuhd and Abu Nu'aym in al-Hilyah

Umar ibn al Khattaab used to say:
"I do not care in what state i wake up in the morning whether it is good or bad, since i do not know what is good for me or what is bad."

‎"Guard against having a bad opinion of people"
Al-Hasan Al-Basree
