Imām Muḥammad b. Idrīs al-Shāfi’ī (d. 204 AH رحمه الله) said [in al-Risālah]:
فَلَيْسَتْ تَنْزِلُ فِي
أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ دِينِ اللهِ نَازِلَةٌ إِلَّا وَفِي كِتَابِ اللهِ الدَّلِيلُ
عَلَى سَبِيلِ الْهُدَى فِيهَا.
“No crucial issue (nāzilah) befalls anyone among the people of Allah’s religion except that
the Book of Allah contains evidence providing guidance regarding it.”
Translated by Umar Quinn (hafidhahullah)
Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said:
You must ensure that you only care about one thing – namely working
for the pleasure of Allah alone, for indeed it is the ultimate
happiness that a servant of Allāh can ever dream of having.

said:
“Whoever worships Allah the Most-High for one thousand
years, then associates partners with Allah for a moment and then dies upon that, all of his deeds will be
destroyed, and they become scattered floating particles.”

Ibn Wahb said that Ibn Mahdee informed him that a man asked Ibraaheem an-Nakha'ee about al-ahwaa' [i.e. bid'ah], do they have anything from khayr? So he said: "Allaah did not make in anything from it (even the amount equal to) a mustard seed of khayr, and it is nothing but an adornment from ash-Shaytaan, and the affair is nothing except the first affair [that which the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) and his Companions were upon]."

From Ibn Umar
–RadhiAllaahu anhumma- who said:
“We would count that the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– would say in one sitting one hundred times:
رَبِّ اغْفِرْليِ
وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
“O
my Lord forgive me and accept my repentance indeed You are the One who forgives
and most merciful.”
Rab-bigh-firlee wa tub alayya Innaka anta at-Tawwaabur -Raheem

Whosoever is characterised with seeking forgiveness, then Allaah makes his provision easy for him, makes his matters easy for him and Allaah also protects his matters and provisions...

It is reported in the two saheehs from the hadeeth
of Abu Hurairah (radiyallāhu ʿanhu) who said that Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ʿalaihi wasallam) said:
إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ
لاَ يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً يَرْفَعُ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَاتٍ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ
لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ لاَ يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً
يَهْوِي بِهَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ
“A slave of Allah may utter a word which pleases Allah without giving it much importance, and because of that Allah will raise him in degrees—and a slave of Allah may utter a word (carelessly) which displeases Allah without thinking of its gravity and because of that he will be thrown into the Hell-Fire.”
(Bukhari, no. 6478)

Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said:
The seven parts of
the body, which are the eyes, the ears, the mouth, the tongue, the private
parts , the hands and the feet are the cause of destruction and safety. They
lead to destruction if the man does not control them and to safety if he takes
care of them and protects them.
