قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ رحمه الله:

إِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ تَعَالَى بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا جَعَلَ فِيهِ ثَلَاثَ خِلَالٍ :

فِقْهٌ فِي الدِّينِ ،

وَزَهَادَةٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا ،

وَبَصَرٌ بِعُيُوبِهِ

Muhammad ibn Kaʿb al-Qurazhee رحمه الله said:

When Allaah تعالى wants good for a servant, He grants him three qualities:

• understanding of the religion (fiqh),

• detachment from worldly life (zuhd),

• insight into his own flaws.
