Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Karazi -Those who make three claims without doing three things, those who claim that Allah loves them although they indulge in what He has forbidden, those who say they desire Paradise although they do not spend their wealth in auspicious ways, and those who claim to love the Prophet (saas) although they do not love the poor. These are liars. Hatim al-Asamm -Who is a hypocrite? Those who talk of Islam but does not labor. Huzaifa (ra) -Services rendered by people who have not tamed their selves are usually performed for those selves, not for Allah.

Just think: If not being an oppressor but just being close to them can lead one to the flames, what must happen to the oppressors themselves?
