Walk on Water: Sayings of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him)

I came across a great work from Shaykh Hamza Yusuf and Hisham Mahmoud it’s called “Walk on Water”.

The wisdom in the sayings of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) are very meaningful and we should all deeply reflect off them like all of the beloved Prophets of Allah. So here, I wanted to share some with you, enjoy!

Once someone asked Jesus (peace be upon him), “How are you able to walk on water?” Jesus replied, “With certainty.” Then someone said, “But we also have certainty!”Jesus then asked them, “Are stone, clay,and gold equal in your eyes?” They replied, “Certainly not!” Jesus responded, “They are in mine.”
(Ahmad)

Sufyan al-ThawwrÏ relates that Jesus, the son of Mary, said, “Love of this world and love of the next world can never reside in the heart of a believer simultaneously, just as fire and water cannot be contained in a single vessel at the same time.” (Ibn Kathir)

Jesus, the son of Mary, e said, “God has given me the power to give life to the dead, sight to the blind, sound to the deaf; but He did not give me the power to heal the fool of his foolishness.” (Al-Razi)

Once Jesus e met Iblis [Satan] and Iblis said, “Is it not true that only what has been decreed will happen?” Jesus replied, “That is true.” Then IblÏs said, “So throw yourself down from the top of this mountain, and let us see if you live or not!” Jesus answered, “The servant does not test his master; rather, it is the master who tests his servant.”(ABU NA’IM)
