Imam Muslim narrates that, Abdullah, the freed slave of Asma bint Abi Bakr
said, “One day, Asma, brought out for us a jubbah decorated with a pattern and
hemlines, its collars and cuffs lined with brocade, and said: “This is the
jubbah of the Prophet peace be upon him, which was in the keeping of Aisha, and
when she passed away I took it. The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to wear
it, and now we wash it to treat the sick.”<br />

Zayd bin Aslam related that his father told him that Umar went to the Mosque

asked him why he wept, and he replied, “I heard a hadith of the Prophet, peace

<br />
Shaykh `Ali b. al-Mubarak asked his teacher the Ghawth `Abd al-`Aziz al-Dabbagh one day: “So-and-so has come to our area for a visit. May I go see him and benefit from him? They say he is a qutb.” Shaykh `Abd al-`Aziz said yes. Shaykh `Ali went, then, after some time, came back to visit with Shaykh `Abd al-`Aziz. “How was your visit?” the latter asked. “Not as I had expected, O my beloved teacher,” replied Shaykh `Ali. Shaykh `Abd al-`Aziz looked at him and said: “O Shaykh `Ali, all the Qutbs and Awliya are right here in my chest. I am your lot among the Shuyukh and you are my lot among the Murids.” After that Shaykh `Ali never asked such a question again.<br />

<br />
Tomorrow, Adam will go into paradise with his children. A<br />
cry will rise up from all the particles of paradise because of the<br />
crowding. The angels of the World of Sovereignty will look<br />
with wonder and say, “Is this that same man who moved out<br />
of paradise a few days ago in poverty and indigence?”<br />
<br />
“Adam, bringing you out of paradise was a curtain over this<br />
business and a covering over the mysteries, for the loins of your<br />
good fortune were the ocean of the one-hundred-twenty and<br />
some thousand pearls of prophethood. Suffer a bit of trouble,<br />
then in a few days, take the treasure!”<br />

Oh waterwheel, why do you wail?<br />
My greif I wail, my pain I wail.<br />

They broke my arms, they broke my limbs,<br />
They used my wood to build this wheel:<br />
My grief I wail, my pain I wail.<br />

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
It is reported from 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, "I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, at Safa, facing an individual in the form of an elephant whom he was cursing. I asked, 'Who are you cursing, Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'This is the accursed shaytan.' I said, 'Enemy of Allah, by Allah, I will kill you and relieve the Community of you!' He said, 'This is not my repayment from you.' I asked, 'And what is your repayment from me, enemy of Allah?' He said, 'By Allah, no one will hate you at all unless I had a share of him with his father in his mother's womb.'</div>

And he who, when calamities of the time break you,<br />
Scatters his cloak in order to save you.<br />

"Ibrahim ibn Adham used to ask his companions about the price of food, and when told that it was expensive, he would reply: "render it cheap by abandoning it."<br />
<br />
- Imam Al Ghazzali, from The Breaking of the Two Desires.<br />
<br />
One cannot abandon a thing one does not have the ability to acquire. Therefore it is the responsibility of the rich to abandon in solidarity with the poor.<br />
