Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
The truthful one (i.e. the one sincere to Allaah in his/her deeds) is the one who does not care if all the status he/she possesses were removed from the hearts of the creation (i.e. the people) for the sake of rectifying his/her heart.

Imaam Ibn Rajab (rahimahullaah) stated:
Indeed, winter is the spring of the believer because during it he enjoys himself in the gardens of obedience to (Allaah) and wanders in the fields of worship, and his heart strolls along in devotion to the acts of worship facilitated within it, just like the animals revel in the pastures of spring; so they put on weight and (the state of) their bodies improve. Likewise, during winter the believer’s religion is improved through what Allaah has made easy of acts of obedience; for indeed the believer is able to fast the days of winter without difficulty or being troubled by hunger and thirst because its days of fasting are short and cold, and the difficulty in fasting is unnoticed. And it has been reported in Tirmidhee from the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) who said: ”Fasting in winter is an (easily acquired) booty.” [a] [1]

”Its concern to rectify deeds is greater than performing the deed; so it is eager for sincerity in the deed, adherence to the Sunnah of the Messenger and carrying it out perfectly. And alongside this, it bears witness to the favours of Allaah in that deed and its deficiencies in fulfilling the rights of Allaah.

It was said to Al-Hasan Al-Basri (rahimahullaah):
“Indeed, such and such person does not admonish anyone and he says, ‘I am afraid of saying something that I do not do.'”
Al-Hasan said: ”So when will he do what he says? Shaytaan desires to overcome this person, so that he neither enjoin good upon anyone nor forbid anyone from evil.”
