Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "The dust of the path of Allah and the smoke
of Hellfire are never joined together in the heart of a slave (of Allah). Belief and
stinginess are never joined together in the heart of a slave (of Allah)."
"We used to sit with 'Abdullah and they mentioned a man together with aspects of his character. 'Abdullah said,
'What would you think if you cut off his head? Would you be able to put
it back on again?' 'No,' they replied. He said, 'And his hand?' 'No,' they
said. 'And his foot?' they said. 'No,' he said. He said, 'You cannot change
his character until you change his physical form. The drop remains in the
womb for forty nights and then the blood congeals and then it becomes a
blood clot and then a lump of flesh and then Allah sends an angel and
he records his provision, his character, and whether he will be
happy or miserable (in the Next World).'"
'Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr said, "I have never seen two women more
generous than 'A'isha and Asma'. Their generosity was different. 'A'isha
used to gather things and after they had been collected together, she would
share them out. Asma' would not keep anything for the next day."
