Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:
“The heart is opened by avoiding excessive looking, talking, listening, mixing with the people, eating, and sleeping.
These excesses cloud and restrict the heart; rather, most of the punishments in this life and the next come from them. How constricted are the hearts of the people who indulge in all of them!?.”

💎The wisdom of Ibn Abbas💎
A man came to Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه and he said: “Is there repentance for one who kills a believer?”
Ibn Abbas said: “No, there is nothing but Hellfire.”
After the man left, those sitting nearby said to him: “What is this? You have given us two different judgments, for earlier you judged that whoever killed a believer may have his repentance accepted. What is the matter today?”
Ibn Abbas said: “Indeed, I suspect he was an angry man intending to kill a believer.”
Later they followed the man and found that it was true.

The Necessity of Following the Messenger of Allah ﷺ - Sheikh Al-Albani
السلفيون بفضل الله أنعم الله عليهم أنَّهم يدعون إلى هذا الإخلاص لله عز وجل في توحيده ،
The salafis, by the virtue of Allah that Allah has blessed them with, they call to Ikhlas (sincerity) to Allah in His Tawheed,
وإلى إفراد الرسول عليه السلام في اتِّباعه دون غيره حتى الأنبياء والرسل فضلًا عمَّن دونهم من العلماء والصالحين .
and in singling out the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in following him and not others; not even other Prophets, Messengers, and those who are lesser than them from the scholars and the righteous people.
ولعلكم تذكرون والشيء بالشيء يُذكر حديث جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما الذي أخرجه الإمام أحمد في " المسند " وغيره أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم
Accordingly, Perhaps you remember the hadith of Jabir bin Abdillah, may Allah be pleased with both of them, which was reported by Imam Ahmad in his musnad and by others from the Prophet ﷺ;
رأى في يد عمر يومًا صحيفة يقرأ فيها،
He ﷺ saw a paper in the hand of Umar one day which he was reading from,
قال : ما هذه ؟ قال : هذه صحيفة من التوراة كتبها لي رجل من اليهود ، فقال عليه الصلاة والسلام وهو غضبان : ( أمُتهوِّكون أنتم كما تهوَّكت اليهود والنصارى ، والذي نفس محمد بيده لو كان موسى حيًّا لَما وسعه إلا اتِّباعي ) ،
He ﷺ asked: "What is this ?"
He ('Umar) said: "This is a scroll from the Taurah which a was written for me by a Jew."
He ﷺ said angrily: "Are you in a state of confusion as the Jews and the Christians were? By the One in whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, if Musa was alive he wouldn't have any way except to follow me."
موسى لو كان حيًّا ما استطاع أن يتَّبع إلا الرسول عليه السلام
Even if Musa was alive he would not have been able to follow anyone but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .

“When you find yourself enveloped by the darkness of the night, nestled within the comforting embrace of your Master, let the innocence of a child shape your demeanor. Just like a child who ardently beseeches their father for something, and weeps inconsolably when denied, emulate that fervent longing.”

Constantly complaining?
Abū Ishāq al-Harbi (84H) said:
