17537 - From Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that he mentioned Luqman the Wise and said: He was not given what he was given on account of family, wealth, lineage, or attributes. Rather, he was a firm, silent man, deep in thought and profound in reflection. He never slept during the day, and no one ever saw him spitting, clearing his throat, urinating, defecating, bathing, fidgeting, or laughing. He would not repeat any speech he uttered unless he was stating a piece of wisdom that he was asked to repeat. He had married and had children, but they died and he did not weep for them. He would frequent the authorities and visit the wise to look, reflect, and take heed, and it was through this that he was given what he was given. (3)

17539 - From Ali ibn Rabah al-Lakhmi that when Luqman (peace be upon him) admonished his son, he said: “If it were a mustard seed, he would bring it to the Yarmouk and cast it into its depth, then wait as long as Allah willed, then remember it, and extend his hand so that a fly would come and place it in his palm.” (5)
