About The Book
This book is a compilation of some of the wise sayings of the prophet (s), of the companions, and of the pious predecessors and ascetics. Reflecting on these wise sayings and heeding these counsels will assist in infusing us with the requisite awareness and fervor to prepare for the Day of Judgement.
Verily, we are all in need of such counsel, for our Day of Judgment begins not when the world ends, but when our life comes to an end - which is indeed imminent - as the Prophet stated.
Counsel of Threes:
[1] It has been reported that the Prophet (s) said, "The one who wakes up in the morning and complains about the scarcity of livelihood, it is as though he is complaining against his Lord. The one who wakes up and is sad over the affairs of the dunya, is as though he has woken up angry with Allah. And the one who humbles himself in front of a rich man because of his wealth will have lost two thirds of his Religion."
[2] Abu Bakr al-Siddiq said, "There are three things which can not be attained through another three: wealth with hope, youth with dyeing [the hair], and health with medication."
[3] Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "good interaction with people is half of intelligence, good questioning is half of knowledge, and good planning is half of the subsistence."
[4] Uthman ibn Affan said, "the one who leaves the dunya Allah Exalted will love him; and the one who leaves sins, the Angels will love him; and the one who has no craving for the possessions of the Muslims, the Muslims will love him."
Counsel of Nines:
[1] The prophet (s) said, " Allah the Exalted revealed to Musa ibn Imran (Moses) in the Torah that the source of all mistakes are three - arrogance, envy, and greed. Another six diseases were born out of these three, and thus they became nine - satiety, excessive sleep, excessive rest, love of wealth, love of praise, and love of leadership."

About the Contributor(s)
About the author
Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani: Ibn Hajar al-ʿAsqalani (773 to 852 AH, 1372 to 1449 CE) was among the greatest hadith scholars in Islamic history, a jurist, biographer, and historian whose work is often described as the final summation of the hadith sciences. Born in Cairo into a family with roots in ʿAsqalan in Palestine, he was orphaned young and devoted himself to study, mastering law in the Shafiʿi school and following the Ashʿari creed. He served as a teacher, judge, and head of hadith instruction in Mamluk Egypt, and was honored with titles of renown such as Hafiz al-ʿAsr (Hafiz of the Age), Amir al-Muʾminin fi al-Hadith (Commander of the Faithful in Hadith), and Shaykh al-Islam. His masterwork is Fath al-Bari, a multivolume commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari that took more than two decades to complete and is still considered the indispensable explanation of that collection. Among his many other writings are Nukhbat al-Fikr, a concise primer on hadith terminology that he later expanded himself, al-Isaba fi Tamyiz al-Sahaba on the Companions, Bulugh al-Maram on hadiths of legal rulings, and al-Istiʿdad li-Yawm al-Maʿad on preparing for the Hereafter. He composed roughly 150 works across hadith, history, biography, Qurʾanic study, and poetry. His grading and analysis of narrations remain a foundation for serious students of hadith.
