27—Bishr ibn Muādh narrated to me, from an elder of Quraysh, who said:
Umar ibn Abd al-Azīz said:
“O you who conceal yourselves, know that before Allah there awaits a questioning that will expose you. Allah Most High says:
‘So by your Lord, We will surely question them all about what they used to do.’ [al-Hijr: 92–93]”
28—Surayj also narrated to me: al-Walīd narrated to us, from al-Awzāī, who said:
I heard Bilāl ibn Sad say:
“Do not be two-faced and two-tongued, presenting yourself to people so that they will praise you while your heart is wicked.”
29—Muhammad ibn Uthmān al-Ijlī narrated to me: Abū Usāma narrated to us, from al-Rabī, who said:
One day, al-Hasan delivered an admonition, and a man began to sob. Al-Hasan said, “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will surely ask you what you intended by this.”
