When a person leaves the disgrace of sin to move to the honour of obedience, Allah will:

* Make him independent without wealth.

* Assist him without an army.

* Grant him honour without a nation or tribe.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said: “The perfection of tawheed is found when there remains nothing in the heart except Allāh; the servant is left loving those He loves and what He loves, hating those He hates and what He hates, showing allegiance to those He has allegiance to, showing enmity to those He shows enmity towards, ordering what He orders and prohibiting what He prohibits”

"The Jahmiyyah are the Mushabbihah.

Indeed, they have likened their Lord to an idol and [or] a deaf mute who cannot hear, or see, or talk, or create."

Ibn Jarir recorded that Sa`id bin Jubayr said, “A man came to Ibn `Abbās, may Allah be pleased with him, and said to him: “O Abu Al-`Abbās, Allāh says,

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ

"And the heavens and the earth wept not for them, nor were they given respite."

(Qur’ān 44:29)

— do the heavens and the earth weep for anybody?”

He, may Allāh be pleased with him, said,

“Yes, there is no one who does not have a gate in the heavens through which his provision comes down and his good deeds ascend. When the believer dies, that gate is closed; it misses him and weeps for him, and the place of prayer on earth where he used to pray and remember Allāh also weeps for him.” 

But the people of Fir`awn left no trace of righteousness on the earth and they had no good deeds that ascended to Allāh, so the heavens and the earth did not weep for them

“Be content with what Allāh has given you and you will be the richest among the people.”

There was a man of the desert whose name was Zaahir.

Whenever he would visit the Prophet ﷺ, he’d bring gifts from the desert, and the Prophet ﷺ would provide for him when he intended to depart.

The Prophet ﷺ said: Zaahir is our man of the desert, and we are his townspeople.

He was beloved to the Prophet ﷺ, but he was very ugly due to a physical deformity.

The Prophet ﷺ came to him one day while he was selling his merchandise, and caught him from behind while Zaahir could not see him.

So Zaahir said: Who is it? Tell me!

Then he turned around and recognized the Prophet ﷺ so he hugged the Prophet as soon as he recognized him.

So the Prophet ﷺ said (jokingly to those around them): Who will purchase this slave?

So Zaahir said: O Messenger of Allaah, by Allaah you will find me unsellable (worthless).

Then the Prophet said: But to Allaah, you are not unsellable.

Or he said: To Allaah, you are valuable.
