Abu Taymiyyah – Sincerity Gems From The Salaf Powerful Reminder

			I conclude with something that happened between Afuzayl
		

			ibn Ayyab, and Sufyanath Thawr. One time they
		

			came together and they sat,
		

			They sat down and they started revising
		

			that which would soften their hearts.
		

			Each one of them softened the other person's
		

			heart and they started crying. Sufianath Thore said,
		

			O Abu Ali, this was his kunya, I
		

			hope that this is a sitting. Sufianath Thore
		

			is saying this I hope that this is
		

			a sitting where we gain the barakah, the
		

			blessing and also the rahman of Allah subhanahu
		

			wa ta'ala. So for Dail ibn Ayaadi responded
		

			back to Sufyan athuri and he said to
		

			him, I fear that this is a sitting
		

			that we have sat,
		

			is most harmful to all of us, And
		

			there isn't any sitting that we have sat
		

			before that is more harmful than this one.
		

			Look at what the first one said, and
		

			look at the second one. He's fearing that
		

			this masjid might now take him into the
		

			* fire. Why? So he said to him,
		

			isn't it so that
		

			I ended up telling you of the best
		

			type of reminder that I can give,
		

			and you did the exact same thing as
		

			all, and then you beautified yourself to me,
		

			and I beautified myself to you with speech.
		

			Because sometimes
		

			what the shaytan could end up doing to
		

			a person when he's in a gathering,
		

			mention the best type of knowledge that you
		

			have. So the people start realizing enter in
		

			the shaykh that you have something from the
		

			tala ubat of the Shaitan
		

			by mentioning the best thing that you know
		

			so that people become impressed. So now here
		

			is
		

			saying to him, I really fear from this
		

			majlis is going to be the most harmful
		

			to me. Fearing that he just only spoke
		

			in order to impress him. Fearing the type
		

			of what? Having spoken to him in order
		

			to impress him. And because of this,
		

			he feared for himself.
		

			And through that,
		

			Sufyanath Thawr alhamuww ta'ala he started crying more
		

			than the first time. So the sheikh he
		

			comments, who even thinks like this today?
		

			Look at the way they thought, and look
		

			at the way we as people think. So
		

			brothers and sisters, wallahi subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		

			he has chosen us from so many people.
		

			Just ask yourself how many people do you
		

			know who are not praying, who are not
		

			fasting, who are not doing the Ibadat,
		

			they are
		

			He's in darkness above darkness,
		

			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala chose you to fast,
		

			Allah Azzawajal He chose us to pray,
		

			and then we come on Yomul Qiyam, and
		

			we have absolutely nothing, maybe because there was
		

			a problem of the niyyah.
