Sayyidunā Ibrāĥīm Bin Adĥam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: ‘I remained in the company of some saints in a mountain of Lebanon; each of them gave me the following pieces of advice to convey to the people.
He who fills his stomach with food will not attain pleasure in worship.
He who sleeps a lot will not have blessing in his age.
He who desires only the pleasure of people, will be despairing of the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
He who often backbites and speaks unnecessarily will not die as a Muslim.’
