Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
The truthful one (i.e. the one sincere to Allaah in his/her deeds) is the one who does not care if all the status he/she possesses were removed from the hearts of the creation (i.e. the people) for the sake of rectifying his/her heart.

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) stated:
As you all know, we do not take the course of war; rather we take the course to advise you and the Muslims. Allaah alone knows the intentions. At present my two feet are at the doorstep of the grave. Neither do I want anything of the Dunyah nor a (lofty) position. [ولله الحمد]—Indeed I rejected all these affairs in the prime of my youth. And by Allaah, I am a seeker of knowledge and I used to say to myself: ”If I were to be given the highest ministerial position, by Allaah I would not give it precedence over seeking knowledge.” This is my natural disposition. My natural disposition—by Allaah—is to give sincere advise to the Muslims; eager for them to be guided and eager for the guidance of the youth. And I clarified Sayyid Qutb’s affairs of misguidance and other than him (in order) to enlighten the youth about Allaah’s true Religion; enlightening them about the misguided stances, so that they may save themselves from them and avoid them. And so that they may follow Allaah’s Straight Path along with those upon whom Allaah has bestowed His grace from amongst the Prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs and the righteous, and how excellent these companions are! And I ask Allaah [The Blessed and Most High] to establish this aspiration in the Ummah very soon and quickly. Verily! Our Lord is indeed the All-Hearer of invocations.

Imaam Ibn Rajab (rahimahullaah) stated:
Indeed, winter is the spring of the believer because during it he enjoys himself in the gardens of obedience to (Allaah) and wanders in the fields of worship, and his heart strolls along in devotion to the acts of worship facilitated within it, just like the animals revel in the pastures of spring; so they put on weight and (the state of) their bodies improve. Likewise, during winter the believer’s religion is improved through what Allaah has made easy of acts of obedience; for indeed the believer is able to fast the days of winter without difficulty or being troubled by hunger and thirst because its days of fasting are short and cold, and the difficulty in fasting is unnoticed. And it has been reported in Tirmidhee from the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) who said: ”Fasting in winter is an (easily acquired) booty.” [a] [1]

”Its concern to rectify deeds is greater than performing the deed; so it is eager for sincerity in the deed, adherence to the Sunnah of the Messenger and carrying it out perfectly. And alongside this, it bears witness to the favours of Allaah in that deed and its deficiencies in fulfilling the rights of Allaah.

”It yearns for serving its Lord (i.e. engaging in righteous actions and keeping away from evil) just as a hungry person yearns for food and drink.”

Ibraaheem Ibn Adham (rahimahullaah) said: It has reached me that Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez (rahimahullaah) said to Khaalid Ibn Safwaan (rahimahullaah): ”Admonish me and be brief”; so Khaalid said: ”O Leader of the believers! Indeed there are a people who have been deceived by Allaah’s concealment of (their sins, blameworthy affairs, shortcomings etc) and are put to trial by the good praise (received from the people), so let not the ignorance of others about your (real state of affairs) prevail over what you know about yourself. May Allaah protect us and you from becoming deceived by Allaah’s concealment of (our real state of affairs), delayed and negligent in that which Allaah has obligated and inclining towards desires.” Ibraaheem said: So he (Umar) wept and then said: ”May Allaah protect us and you from following desires.”

It was said to Al-Hasan Al-Basri (rahimahullaah):
“Indeed, such and such person does not admonish anyone and he says, ‘I am afraid of saying something that I do not do.'”
Al-Hasan said: ”So when will he do what he says? Shaytaan desires to overcome this person, so that he neither enjoin good upon anyone nor forbid anyone from evil.”
