Gems of Wisdom by Sayyiduna Imam Hasan al-Basri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho

• That work that is free from wisdom becomes a burden. That silence that is free from wisdom is inattentiveness. That sight that is free from wisdom is disgraceful.
• The magnificence of knowledge is with tolerance and that of tolerance is with knowledge.
• The person who lives in the World safeguarding himself from the love of the World, has benefited himself and others.
• Sorrow gives the soul strength.
• The freedom of sight and tongue imprisons the soul.
• Whoever ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala wished to disgrace becomes engrossed in the search of wealth.
• Those people are truly afraid who are truly afraid of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.
• The punishment of this World is that your heart becomes dead.
• There is no greater or bigger animal that is more foul mouthed ruder and harsher than the Nafs.
