<b>THE PATH OF THE BELIEVERS</b>
Imaam Ibn Abee Jamrah said:
"Indeed the scholars have said regarding the statement
of Allaah:
".And follows other than the Path of the Believers, We
will turn him to what he has turned to." [surah
Nisaa 3:115]
that what is meant by it is the Companions, and the
first generation, because they themselves were the
first ones to encounter opposition to the sunnah. So
they cured it by the best of questions about what took
place in their souls due to some ambiguity. So he
(sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) answered them with the
best of answers, and explained to them with the most
complete of explanations. So they listened, and they
understood, and they acted, and they perfected, and
they memorized, and they mastered, and they believed.
So they have a tremendous virtue over us. It is
through them that we can connect our rope to the rope
of our leader, Muhammad (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam), and to the Rope of our Protector."
<b>GOOD MANNERS</b>
From Abee Hurayrah (radiyallaahu 'anhu) that the
Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
"The most complete of the believers in faith (eemaan),
is the best of them in manners."
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen says:
"This hadeeth should always be in front of the eyes of
the believer. So the most complete of the believers in
faith (eemaan), is the best of them in manners with
Allaah, and with the servants of Allaah."
<b>SIGNS OF THE PEOPLE OF INNOVATIONS AND DESIRES</b>
Imaam Wakee' Ibnul Jarraah ar-Ra`oosee said:
"The people of knowledge write what is in their favour
and what is against them. However, the people of
desires (ahwaa) do not write anything except what is
in their favour."
Imaam Abee Haatim ar-Raazee said:
"A sign of the people of innovation is that they fight
the people of narrations (ahlul athar)."
<b>SINS DEADEN THE HEART</b>
Imaam at-Tirmidthee said:
"From Aboo Hurayrah (radiyallaahu 'anhu) that the
Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: 'When a
servant commits a sin, a black spot appears upon his
heart, so if he desists, seeks forgiveness and makes
repentance; then his heart is cleansed. And if he
returns (to the sin), it (the black spot) is increased
until it takes over the heart. And it is the filth
that Allaah mentions:
"But no! It is the covering of sins which is upon
their hearts because of what they used to do."
[sooratul-Mutaffifeen 83:14]'"

<b>SEEK KNOWLEDGE</b>
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge. The inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth and (even) the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man. The superiority of the learned over the devout is like that of the
moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars. The learned are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets leave (no monetary inheritance), they leave only knowledge, and he who takes it takes an abundant portion.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood, Hadith 1631
