of hatred, for it is the razor. I do not tell you that it shaves the hair,

but it shaves away the deen."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ‏:‏ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، فَذَكَرُوا رَجُلاً، فَذَكَرُوا مِنْ خُلُقِهِ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ‏:‏ أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ قَطَعْتُمْ رَأْسَهُ أَكُنْتُمْ تَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ تُعِيدُوهُ‏؟‏ قَالُوا‏:‏ لاَ، قَالَ‏:‏ فَيَدُهُ‏؟‏ قَالُوا‏:‏ لاَ، قَالَ‏:‏ فَرِجْلُهُ‏؟‏ قَالُوا‏:‏ لاَ، قَالَ‏:‏ فَإِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ تُغَيِّرُوا خُلُقَهُ حَتَّى تُغَيِّرُوا خَلْقَهُ، إِنَّ النُّطْفَةَ لَتَسْتَقِرُّ فِي الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ تَنْحَدِرُ دَمًا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَقَةً، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُضْغَةً، ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ مَلَكًا فَيُكْتَبُ رِزْقَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ، وَشَقِيًّا أَوْ سَعِيدًا‏.‏

'Abdullah ibn Rabi'a said:

"We used to sit with 'Abdullah and they mentioned a man together with aspects of his character. 'Abdullah said,

'What would you think if you cut off his head? Would you be able to put

it back on again?' 'No,' they replied. He said, 'And his hand?' 'No,' they

said. 'And his foot?' they said. 'No,' he said. He said, 'You cannot change

his character until you change his physical form. The drop remains in the

womb for forty nights and then the blood congeals and then it becomes a

blood clot and then a lump of flesh and then Allah sends an angel and

he records his provision, his character, and whether he will be

happy or miserable (in the Next World).'"

Mu'adh ibn 'Abdullah ibn Khubayb al-Juhani related from his father

that his uncle said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and

grant him peace, came out to them with the traces of ghusl on him. He was

cheerful so we thought he had been with his wives. We said, 'Messenger of

Allah, we see that you are cheerful.' He said, 'Yes, and praise be to Allah!'

Then wealth was mentioned that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless

him and grant him peace, said, 'There is no harm in wealth for someone

who has taqwa, but health for the person who has taqwa is even better than

wealth. Cheerfulness is a blessing.'"
