If one tear falls on account of fear of God, it is better then fasting throughout life. - Sufyan al-Thawri

Five souls are the most dignified in creation: a scholar who is not self-indulgent (moderate), a Sufi jurisprudent, a humble rich person, a thankful poor one, and a noble who follows the Sunnah.

I fear to accept anything from anybody lest my heart should start cherishing love for that person. I desire only to live in His thoughts.

He who spends life in remoteness is much better, for it was the practice of the foremost saintly people. They liked to live comely instead of grandeur.
