The Intelligent Person

 “The intelligent person is not one who merely knows what is good
and what is bad. The intelligent person is one who, when he sees what
is good, follows it, and when he sees evil, shuns it.” -  Sufyân b. ‘Uyainah

  3. It is reported that Al-Hasan Al-Basrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:
    How strange it is that a people whose departure (from this world to the next) has been announced, and whose predecessors have already departed, still play around!

    Abū Bakr Al-Daynūrī, Al-Mujālasah wa Jawāhir Al-’Ilm article 843.
