1. Advice of a villager woman

Sayyiduna Imam Asma’ee رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states: I saw a villager woman who said to her son while advising him: Son! Ability to act [upon an action] is from Allah Almighty. And I advise you that:

 ٭Keep refraining from tale-telling because it creates enmity between two tribes. It separates friends.

 ٭Refrain from looking for flaws in people. May it not be the case that you also become flawed.

 ٭Do not show-off in worship.

 ٭Refrain from being stingy in spending wealth.

 ٭Learn a lesson from others’ consequences.

 ٭Act upon the action of people that you like and refrain from what you do not like of them, because a person cannot see his own flaws.

Then the woman became silent. Then I said: ‘O villager woman! I give you an oath in the name of Allah Almighty! Advise further.’ She asked: ‘O the dweller of city! Do you like what a villager said?’ I said: ‘By Allah Almighty! I liked it.’ She said:

 ٭Son! Refrain from deception. Because the matters you deal in with people, deception is worst among them all.

 ٭Adopt generosity, knowledge, humbleness and modesty. Now, I hand you over to Allah Almighty. May peace be [showered] upon you. May Allah Almighty have mercy upon you.

 ٭Remember! Backbiting is a greater sin than even fornicating 30 times in the state of Islam. (Aansu’on ka Darya, pp. 249)
