Avoid Burdensome People
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Don’t sit with burdensome, unpleasant people. Ibn ʿAqīl, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
A burdensome, unpleasant person that mixes with others is an illness that doesn’t leave the bodies; a trouble weighing down on the hearts; a restriction on [people’s] breathing; a blockage preventing [the use of one’s] senses.
Al-Ādāb Al-Sharʿiyyah, vol. 4, p. 248.
لا تجالس الثقلاء
قال ابن عقيل رحمه الله : "فالثقيل المخالط: سقم في الأبدان، ومؤنة على القلوب، وتضييق للأنفاس، وحصرٌ للحواس".
