Umar bin Abdul-Aziz d.101 (may Allah have Mercy on him) said:
اذا رأيتم الرجل يطيل الصمت
ويهرب من الناس فاقتربوا منه فإنه يلقي الحكمة
If you see a man constantly being silent and avoids socialising with the people then get close to him. Surely, this man has been given wisdom.
Ibn al-Jawzai in At-Tabsirah 2/289
سب رجل الإمام وكيع رحمه الله: فلم يُجبه فقيل له : ألا ترد عليه ؟ قال : و لم تعلمنا العلم إذاً
روضة العقلاء صـ ١٦٦
Imam Wakee bin
al-Jarraah (d. 197) was once insulted. It was asked of him, “Will you not respond
to him?”
He said, “We would have
not learned knowledge, therefore.”

Abu Bakr al-Warraaq (d.240) said:
كانت لي بنت مبتلاة،
وكان لها نحو عشر سنين، قال: وكنت أتمنى موتها فماتت،
I had a daughter who was tested with a disability and she
was like this for around ten years. I once said, “I wished she just died” and then
she died.
قال: فأريتها فِي النوم
وكأن القيامة،
He said, "I then saw her in my dream, as if she was standing and the Day of Judgement was taking place.
قامت وكأن صبيانا يأخذون
بأيدي آبائهم فِيدخلونهم الجنة،
She stood up as if she was one of those children who would
take the hand of her parent and lead them to Jannah.
قال: فقلت لبنتي: خذي
بيدي ادخليني الجنة،
So I said to my daughter, 'Take my hand and lead me to
Jannah.'
قال: فقالت لي: لا أنت
كنت تتمنى موتي!
She said to me, 'No, you wished for my death.'”
Tareekah Baghdaad, 6/212
Al-Hasan al-Basri (Allah have Mercy on him) said:
أهينوا الدنيا، فوالله لأهنأ ما تكون إذا أهنتها
Belittle the Dunya. For by Allah! We would be happy as long as we belittle her.
Musannaf bin Abi Shaybah, 35306
I hate you for the sake of Allah. You beautify your voice (in Athaan) for the sake of Dirhams.
Fath al-Baari of Ibn Rajab (4/430)
