Muhammad ibn Ziyad reported: Wahb ibn Munabbih, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “Whoever places his lusts beneath his feet, Satan will flee from his shadow. Whoever overcomes his whims by his forbearance, that one is among the victorious scholars.”

عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ رحمه الله قَالَ مَنْ جَعَلَ شَهْوَتَهُ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ فَزِعَ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ ظِلِّهِ وَمَنْ غَلَبَ حِلْمُهُ هَوَاهُ فَذَاكَ الْعَالِمُ الْغَلَّابُ
