When Khalifah Sulaiman ibn Abdul Malik came to Medina on the way to
Makkah for Hajj from his ruling city Damascus, Syria in the year 715
AD(Hijra AH 97). Salamah Ibn Dinar al-Madani, also known as Abu Hazim
Al-A'raj was the Imam of Medina. Khalifah Sulaiman had a conversation
with this great scholar.
Khalifah : I got some serious problems floating in my mind. I would like to talk with you about it.
Abu Hazim: Tell that. With the help of Allah's will I will try to answer.
Khalifah: I hate the death. Why is that Mr. Abu Hazim?
Abu Hazim: That's because we worked only to build Dunya and destroyed Ahira. We would hate to move from a good apartment to a bad apartment.
Khalifah nodded his head in agreeing with the answer of Abu Hazim.
Khalifa: How would we know what will be our fate tomorrow in front of Allah?
Abu Hazim: You would understand when u start to compare your doings with book of Allah(Quran).
Khalifa: How to become a good man (after my bad living)?
Abu Hazim: You would have to loose your pride and should get humility.
Khalifa:Who is the most intelligent man?
Abu Hazim: The one who understood truly the meaning of being an obedient slave to Allah and living according to that and teaching this message to the people.
Khalifa: Who is the dumbest man?
Abu Hazim: The one who submit himself to his friend's craziness. He is selling his Ahira for other people's Duniya.
----Other words of Wisdom-----
* Don't forget the large things which is kept for you in Ahira when u see the small things in front of you in Duniya.
* Every good thing (which u consider as good for you) which does not bring you to Allah is a curse.
A student: Who Should I select as my teacher?
Abu Hazim: The one who fear Allah in his private life and not involve in any bad things. The one who doesn't wait for getting old to do good things.
Abu Hazim (For students):In every day a student experiences in his mind 2 forces fighting each other : Knowledge and Emotion. profitable is the Day when Knowledge wins over the Emotion & the day is lost when Emotion wins over the Knowledge.
