Ibn Al-Qayyim rahimahullah reported:
Some of the righteous predecessors (al-salaf) said,
“When Iblis and his soldiers gather, they do not rejoice for anything as much as three things:
⓵ A believer who kills a believer.
⓶ A man who dies upon disbelief (kufr).
⓷ And a heart in which is fear of poverty.”

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:
The origins of wrongdoing are three:
1. Arrogance: It is that which drove Iblees to that which it drove him (i.e. to commit that which Iblees committed).
2. Desire: It is that which caused Aadam to be expelled from the Paradise.
3. Jealousy: It is that which caused one of the sons of Aadam to transgress against his brother.
Therefore, whoever is protected from the evil of these three (traits) then indeed he has been protected from evil.
For disbelief is from
- arrogance;
- from desires; and
- transgression and
- oppression from jealousy.

Ibn al-Qayyim — رحمه اللَّه تعالى — stated:
❝What good is there in a person who sees the sacred things of Allāh being violated, His limits transgressed, His religion forsaken, the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ neglected, and yet he remains apathetic, with a cold heart and a silenced tongue, like a silent shaiṭān.
Such people — besides being despised by Allāh — have been afflicted by the worst disease, namely the death of their hearts. For the more the heart is alive and vibrant, the more its anger for the sake of Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ is felt, and the stronger and more complete its support for the Religion.❞
• I'lām al-Muwaqqi'een (2/117)

“Calamities, trials and tests are signs of love from Allaah...'
Imam Ibnul-Qayyim:
“Calamities, trials and tests are signs of love from Allaah for the believers. They are comparable to a cure; although it may be bitter, you accept it because it is from the One whom you love; and to Allaah belongs the best example.”

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله :
"How close this sinner is to the mercy of Allaah, and how close this conceited one is to the wrath of Allaah!
A sin that leads to humility is more beloved to Him than an act of obedience which fills a person with conceit.
If you sleep all night then wake up feeling regret (for not having prayed qiyaam al-layl), that may be better for you than if you were to pray all night and wake up in the morning filled with self-admiration. For the deeds of the one who admires himself are not accepted.
Perhaps your laughing whilst admitting to shortcomings is better than your weeping with piety but being filled with conceit.
The groaning of the sinners is more beloved to Allaah than the tasbeeh of the conceited. It may be that by means of this sin, Allaah has caused him to drink the medicine that will cure a fatal disease which you also have, but you do not realize it.
Allaah has reason for what He does to both those who are obedient and those who sin, which are known to no-one except Him, and which no one recognizes except those who have insight, and then only within the limits of human understanding; beyond that there are reasons which are not even known to the honourable scribes (i.e., the recording angels)."

*Faith in Predestination

Whereas worship is cut off from him at his death.”
