Ibraaheem Ibn Adham (rahimahullaah) wrote to Sufyaan Ath-Thawri (rahimahullaah) and said: ”Whoever knows what he is seeking for (i.e. paradise etc), he will belittle the deeds he performs. Whoever allows his eye sight to roam freely (i.e. looking at everything), his sorrow will be prolonged. Whoever prolongs his hopes (i.e. in coveting the worldly pleasures etc), he will commit evil deeds. And whoever allows his tongue to speak freely (i.e. uttering evil or that which does not concern him etc) has killed himself.” [Seerah As-Salaf As-Saaliheen 1/970. By Al-Asbahaanee]

He (rahimahullaah) said:

”Does not one of you feel shy that the beast he rides and the thobe he wears are mentioned more than remembrance of Allaah?!”

Umar Ibnul Khattaab (radiyallaahu-anhu) said:

The best of deeds is the fulfillment of what Allaah has made obligatory, refraining from what Allaah has forbidden out of fear of Him and having a truthful intention in (hoping) for what Allaah has with Him (of reward in the hereafter).

Ibn Shawdhab  (rahimahullaah) said: Indeed, from the blessings of Allaah upon a young person man when he becomes devoted to (piety), is that he takes a person of Sunnah as a brother who guides him to it (i.e. to the Sunnah)

Be patient with yourself upon the Sunnah and stop were [Al-Qawm-the people (i.e. Sahaabah(1)] stopped; speak with what they spoke with; refrain from what they refrained from and follow the path of your righteous predecessors; for indeed what sufficed them suffices you. (2)
