Ibn al-Qayyim · Timeless Classics

1. "Al-Hasan al-Basri said: "If you wish to see a man of insight who has no patience, you will see him; and if you wish to see a patient man who has no insight, you will see him. But when you see a man of insight who is also patient — that is the man." God the Exalted said: "And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command, when they were patient and had certainty in Our signs." For this reason the soul is likened to fire in the swiftness of its movement and its ruinous effect,"

2. "Yet there is the man whose Tawhid is so great and vast that many of those traces are swallowed up in it and transformed within it, as with abundant water into which the slightest impurity or filth is mixed. Then the man of lesser Tawhid is deceived by his example, and mixes his own feeble Tawhid with what the man of great and abundant Tawhid mixed with his; so its effect appears in him as it never appeared in that abundant Tawhid."

3. "A man asked al-Shafi'i, saying: "O Abu Abd Allah, which is better for a man — that he be given power, or that he be tried?"
