Don’t Make Friends with Chameleons
The shaikh, Dr. ʿAbdullāh Al-Bukhārī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Al-Ḥāfiẓ Abū Ḥātim Al-Bustī said:
An intelligent person doesn’t make friends with chameleons or treat as brothers people who keep changing what they’re upon; and he won’t show any affection on the outside except as he has it on the inside; and he won’t keep on the inside other than what’s more than what he shows on the outside….

[لا تُصادق المتلوّن]
قال الحافظ أبو حاتم البُستيُّ:
"العاقلُ لا يُصادِقُ المتلوّن، ولا يُؤاخي المتقلّب، ولا يُظهرُ مِنَ الوِداد إلّا مثل مَا يُضمر، ولا يُضمرُ إلّا فوق ما يُظهر…"
