My brothers, sometimes we hear statements that lack the proper veneration of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah. Like when someone is invited to listen to something beneficial instead of engaging in forbidden amusement, they say, "Man, all you ever talk about is religion!"


We have a good role model in Abu Bakr Al-Sibghi (may Allah have mercy on him), when he wanted to benefit from a man who was known to have knowledge, so Abu-Bakr said to him, "Tell us about Suleiman Ibn Harb"...
but the man shocked him by replying in a disgruntled manner, "Let's forget about narrations for a while. Can't we talk about something else other than so-and-so told us and so-and-so narrated?!".


This statement led Abu Bakr to be disappointed in him [after having held him in high esteem], and so Abu Bakr said, "O' you! I don't sense in your speech even the slightest scent of Iman [faith], and you are not allowed to enter my house ever again", and he forsook him until he died.
[Siyar A'lam Al-Nubala' (15/485), Tabakat Al-Shafi'ia by Al-Subki (3/10)].


So let us be careful of being annoyed by the mentioning of Allah, His Messenger ﷺ, and whatever may draw a servant nearer to the pleasure of Allah, because that is a sign of a dead heart; since {Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort.} Surat Ar-Ra'd 13:28... Meaning those hearts which are alive.
