The Difference Between Advicing and Exposing

Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali writes:

وقال الفضيل بن عياض موضحًا الفرق بين الناصح والشامت: المؤمن يستر وينصح والفاجر يهتك ويعير

“When Al-Fudhayl Ibn Iyaadh was asked about the difference between advicing and exposing, he said: “A believer covers up and advises [his or her fellow believers], whereas an evildoer exposes and humiliates [others].”

["Jami' Al-'Uloom wal-'Hikam", 77].

Fire of Hell Does not Allow to Sleep

Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali has narrated:

قال مالك بن دينار قالت ابنة الربيع بن خيثم يا أبت ما لك لا تنام والناس ينامون فقال إن النار لا تدع أباك ينام

Maalik Ibnu Dinaar said: “The daughter of Ar-Rabi’u Bnu Khaytham said to her father: “O my father, why don’t you sleep, whilst everyone else is sleeping?” He said: “The Fire of Hell does not allow your father to sleep”.

["At-Takhwief min An-Naar", 37].

Groaning of the Sinners

Al-Hafidh Ibn Rajab writes:
قال ابن رجب رحمه الله في لطائف المعارف : أنين المذنبين أحب إلى الله من زجل المسبحين
“The groaning of the sinners is more beloved to Allaah than the tasbeeh (God’s glorification) of the conceited”.
["Lata'if Al-Ma'arif", 24].
