One must not become desensitized to the hardships of his brother even if it prolongs

ولا يغفلن بالدعاء له متى بقي البلاء أو زال

"Do not abandon du’a and do not let (the evil) that you know about yourself prevent you from du’a.

Indeed Allah answered Iblis whilst he is the evil of all creation."

بل بتدميرها

Three things can save a person: 

١. Fear of Allāh in private and in public.

٢. Fairness in happiness and in anger.

٣. Generosity in both poverty and in wealth.

And three things can destroy a person:

١. Desires that are followed.

٢. Greed that is obeyed.

٣. A person being amazed and pleased with themselves.

“The heart, in its journey to Allāh, Majestic is He, is like that of a bird: love is its head, and fear and hope are its two wings.

When the head and two wings are sound, the bird flies gracefully. If the head is severed, the bird dies… if the bird loses one of its wings, it then becomes a target for every hunter or predator.”
