Hazrat Abu Ja'far al-Khatmi narrates that his grandfather Hazrat Umair bin Habib advised his son: O my son! Avoid the company of fools, for indeed their company is a disease. And whoever overlooks the faults of a fool, he finds happiness due to his forbearance. And whoever befriends a fool, he becomes ashamed. And whoever does not find comfort in even a few words from a fool, his eyes will find comfort in abundance. And if any of you intends to enjoin good and forbid evil, he should make himself accustomed to patience in hardship. Because whoever is patient does not feel the hardship.
