Hazrat Rabi’ used to say: O Bakr bin Ma’az! Use your tongue for beneficial matters. Avoid harmful speech. I consider people to be unaware regarding my piety. Obey Allah in those matters which you know. Refer whatever reaches you to the one who knows about it. For knowingly making a mistake is more dangerous than an error. Not everything of yours is good, but it is better than evil. Not all the things given to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم have reached you, and you do not understand everything you read. The things that are hidden from people are apparent to others. Seek a remedy for them. Then, addressing himself, he would say: Its cure is to repent in the court of Allah and then not to sin again.
