Hatim said, “Four qualities: I knew that my sustenance would not be eaten by anyone other than I, so my heart felt secure. I knew that others would not perform my righteous work, so I am busy performing it. I knew that death comes all of a sudden, so I rush (to fulfill my religious duties) before it strikes. I knew that I will never be absent from Allah’s Eye, wherever I may be, so I always feel shy from Him.”
