two kinds. 127 – Hasan ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz narrated to me; ‘Umar ibn Abī Salamah reported from Sa‘id ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz that Bilāl ibn Sa‘d said, “Remembrance is of two kinds: to remember Allah with the tongue is fine and beautiful, but for the servant to remember Allah when He permits or forbids something—that is better.” ⦗107⦘

128 – One of the sage-poets said:

My pondering never ends, nor does my wonder cease
At one who goes on and on with amusement and play;
… relentlessly pursued,
… though he is headed for extinction and decay.
My brother, do not be duped, for you must—
You will surely meet death at close range.
Repent of your sins and weep in fear
For what has been entered against you in the books.
What state will that young man find himself in
Who arrives before his Lord having never repented?
