Imaam Ibn Taymiyyah On Abandoning The Needs Of One's Wife.

قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله : وحصول الضرر للزوجة بترك الوطء مقتض للفسخ بكل حال، سواء كان بقصد من الزوج أو بغير قصد، ولو مع قدرته وعجزه، كالنفقة وأولى..

Shaykh-ul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله: “If for the wife there is harm due to abandonment/lack of sexual intercourse then it is an adequate cause for separation (between the husband and wife) in all cases whether the husband does that intentionally or unintentionally whether he is able or unable, it is like maintenance (food, clothes and shelter) and (probably) even more important.”

● [الفتاوى الكبرى ٥\٤٨١-٤٨٢]

Ibn Taymiyyah: “Regarding sexual intercourse, it’s obligatory (upon the husband) once every 4 months or according to her need and ability.”

● [مجموع الفتاوى ٣٢\٢٨١]

Īsā عليه السلام said: “Place your treasures in heaven, for a man’s heart is where his treasure is.”

‎● {كتاب الزهد الإمام أحمد بن حنبل ٣١٣}

Allāh said: "Do not think that I will not give you if you ask Me for great things, and do not feel too shy to ask Me for small things."

● {Fayd al-Qadeer (v. 4, p. 110)}

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎”The truth will only be shown to perceptive people who will use the light of their minds to see the consequences of the matters they face."

‎[al-Fawā’id]

لا يألفنّ أحدكم مُصاب أخيه وإن طال
One must not become insensitive to the pains of his brother even if they prolong

ولا يغفلنّ بالدعاء له متى بقي البلاء أو زال
And should not be heedless of making duaa for him; whether the trial is present or gone

Rabī’ bin Khuthaym رحمه الله said to his companions:

“Do you know the disease, the cure, and the recovery?”

They said: “No.”

He said: “The disease is sin, the cure is seeking forgiveness from Allah, and the [pathway to] recovery is to repent and then not repeat it.”

[Bughyat At-Talab: 3/469]

'Alī b. Abī Ṭālib said: “No one should place his hopes in anyone except his Lord.” ‘

{Majmoo’ al-Fataawa of Ibn Taymiyyah (v. 8, p. 99)}

Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said:

إذا لم تستطع أن تنافس الصالحين في أعمالهم ، فنافس المذنبين في استغفارهم

“If you’re unable to compete with the righteous in performing good deeds, then compete with sinners by racing towards forgiveness.”

أستغفر الله العظيم وأتوبُ إليه

Uthman رضي الله عنه once began to stutter during a khutbah and then said,

"I'm not good at giving speeches, but I will learn it, In shaa Allah!"

[(سير الخلفاء الراشدون،) صفحة:٢٩٦]

قل لمن يرجو في الحياةِ خلودًا لستَ يا عافاك الإلهُ سميعا

فلقد قامتِ المنايا على مِنـْـبَرِ وعظٍ ، وأنذرتكَ وقوعا

فتغافلتَ ، ما إخالُكَ إلا عن قليلٍ مباغَتًا وصريعا

Say to one who hopes for eternity in this life: "You, may God grant you wellbeing, do not hear!

For death has stood atop a pulpit of advice And warned you of its occurrence.

Yet you paid no heed—it will not bypass you Except briefly, suddenly felling you."

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“A protection from the Shaytān is restraining the glance, avoiding excessive speech and food, and not mixing with the people excessively. The Shaytān gains mastery over the son of Adam through these four doors.

The wandering glance transports the image to the heart and distracts the mind with it. Thus, fitnah starts with a curious glance.”

[One Hundred Pieces of Advice | Pg. 73]

Al-Hasan Al-Basrī رحمه الله was asked:

“Is it Sunnah to love Abū Bakr and ‘Umar?”

He replied: “No, rather it’s an obligation!”

[Usūl Al-‘Iqtiqād: 4/1239]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“Lowering the gaze fashions a heart that is devoted to and focused on Allāh. Letting the gaze wander distracts the heart and keeps it far from Allāh.

There is nothing more harmful to a person than letting his gaze wander, as it creates alienation between a person and His Lord.”

[One Hundred Pieces of Advice | Pg. 27]

al-Fudayl Ibn Iyādh رحمه الله said:

"أُنزل القراَن ليُعْمَلَ به، فاتخذ الناس تلاوته عملاً."

"The Qur'ān was revealed to be acted upon, but people took its recitation as the action."

[Akhlāq Hamlat al-Qur'ān wa Ahlih, p. 29]

‘Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb said: “Do not ask about what has not yet happened until it actually happens, for what has happened is enough of an occupation to worry about.”

‎{كتاب الزهد لأبي داود السجستاني ٨٩}

"You will never be able to escape Allaah’s orders and decrees, because it encompasses you.

You will never be able to avoid or avert His rule and judgement over you, you are surrounded by it wherever you may be."

{تفسير ابن كثير ٥٥:٣٣}
