I worshipped Allāh for fifty years...

Postby Abu Faatimah » Sun Jan 15, 2017 7:53 am

قال الإمام أحمد بن حرب رحمه الله:

عبدت الله خمسين سنة، فما وجدت حلاوة العبادة حتى تركت ثلاثة أشياء:

تركتُ رضا الناس حتى قدرتُ أن أتكلم بالحق.

وتركتُ صُحبة الفاسقين حتى وجدتُ صُحبة الصالحين.

وتركتُ حلاوة الدنيا حتى وجدتُ حلاوة الآخرة.

سير أعلام النبلاء ١١/٣٤

Ahmad ibn Harb رحمه الله said:

I worshiped Allāh for fifty years, I did not find the sweetness of worship until I abandoned three things:

1. I abandoned seeking the pleasure of people, so I was able to speak the truth.

2. I abandoned the companionship of the sinner, so I was able to accompany the righteous.

3. I abandoned the sweetness of the life of this world, so I was able to find the sweetness of the Hereafter .”
