مَا نَزَلَتْ آيَةٌ إِلَّا وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ فِيمَا نَزَلَتْ وَأَيْنَ نَزَلَتْ فِي نَهَارٍ أَوْ فِي لَيْلٍ فِي جَبَلٍ أَوْ سَهْلٍ وَإِنَّ رَبِّي وَهَبَ لِي قَلْباً عَقُولًا وَلِسَاناً قَئُولًا
No verse [of the Qur’an] was revealed but that I knew the occasion of its revelation and where it was revealed, [whether] in daytime or night, on a mountain or a plain; and my Lord has gifted me with an intelligent heart and an eloquent tongue

مَا بَاتَ لِرَجُلٍ عِنْدِي مَوْعِدٌ قَطُّ فَبَاتَ يَتَمَلْمَلُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ لِيَغْدُوَ بِالظَّفَرِ بِحَاجَتِهِ أَشَدَّ مِنْ تَمَلْمُلِي عَلَى فِرَاشِي حِرْصاً عَلَى الْخُرُوجِ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ دَيْنِ عِدَتِهِ وَخَوْفاً مِنْ عَائِقٍ يُوجِبُ الْخُلْفَ فَإِنَّ خُلْفَ الْوَعْدِ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ الْكِرَامِ
I have never slept with a promise I made to someone that had remained unfulfilled, thereby causing him to toss and turn restlessly in his bed so that he could successfully get what he needs [from me in the morning] but that my restlessness on my bed was much greater as a result of my desperation to meet him and fulfil the debt of his promise and out of fear of a hindrance that could cause its reneging, for indeed reneging on a promise is not from the characteristics of the honourable

وَسُئِلَ ع عَنْ مَسَافَةِ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ فَقَالَ مَسِيرُ يَوْمٍ لِلشَّمْسِ
Indeed this world and the Hereafter are two unequal enemies and two separate ways, so whoever loves this world and befriends it, hates the Hereafter and takes it as an enemyThey are like the East and the West and one who walks between the two, such that whenever he comes closer to one [direction], he distances himself from the otherAfter all, they are both like fellow-wives [seeking to pull their husband only towards themselves]

By Allah! If I were to spend a sleepless night on the thorns of al-Sa‘d?n or be driven shackled in chains as a prisoner, it would be more acceptable to me than meeting Allah and His Prophet as an oppressor over any [of His] servants, or a usurper of any worldly possessionsAnd how can I oppress for the sake of the body which is fast moving towards destruction and is going to spend a long time [buried] in the earth?
