You recognize the Quraan reader

Post by fisabililah »

'Abdullah ibn Mas'ood (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

You recognise the Quraan reader when he stays up worshipping at night while others remain asleep, and he observes voluntary fast during the day when others feast. He is mostly heavy hearted, while others blithely celebrate the attractions of this ephemeral world. He cries when others laugh, he is silent while others mix truth with falsehood, and he is humble and meek when others walk around exhibiting haughtiness disdain & arrogance. In fact one who reads the Quraan is contemplative and despondent; he is wise, forbearing, knowledgeable and mostly quiet. Such one is neither coarse nor slumberous and he is not boisterous, vociferous, or argumentative."

[Hilyat al Awliyaa wa Tabaqaat al Asfiya by Abu Nai'm al-Asfahaani pg 110 #245]

May Allah make us amongst those whom his rightous slave ibn mas'ood described. ameen.
