Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that if some one
passed by Ata ibn Yasar in the mosque with something to trade, he
would call him and ask, "What is the matter with you? What do you
want?" If the man said that he wished to trade with him, he would say,
"You need the market of this world. This is the market of the next
world."

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard from Amir ibn
Sad ibn Abi Waqqas that his father said, "There were two brothers, one
of whom died forty nights before the other. The merit of the first was
being mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and he said, 'Wasn't the other one a
muslim?' They said, 'Of course, Messenger of Allah, and there was no
harm in him.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'What will make you realise what his prayer has
brought him. The prayer is like a deep river of sweet water running by
your door into which you plunge five times a day. How much of your
dirtiness do you think that will leave? You do not realise what his
prayer has brought him.' "
