'Iyad ibn Khalifa heard 'Ali say at Siffin, "The intellect is located
in the heart. Mercy is located in the liver, Compassion is located in the
spleen. The self (nafs) is located in the lungs."
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who has love for his brother in Allah
and for Allah should say, 'I love you for Allah,' and they will both enter
the Garden. The one who has love for someone in Allah has a degree over
the one he loves because of his love."
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr said, "We were sitting with the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when a bedouin man wearing
a robe with a border approached him until he stood before the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said, 'Your companion
has debased every horseman and elevates every shepherd.' The Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, took hold of the folds of his robe
and said, 'I see that you are wearing the clothes of someone who is without
intelligence.' Then he went on, 'When the Prophet Nuh, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, he told his son, "I will give you some instructions.
I command you to things and I forbid you two things. I command you to say,
'There is no god but Allah.' If the seven heavens and the seven earths
were a dark ring, they would be cut by 'There is no god but Allah' and
'Glory be to Allah and by His praise.' It is the prayer of every thing
and by it everything has its provision. And I forbid you to associate others
with and Allah and to be proud.'
Mu'adh ibn Jabal said, "When you have love for your brother, do
not quarrel with him or treat him badly nor ask questions about him, It
may be that an enemy of his will appear and say something about him which
is not true and will thereby cause a split between you."
