Abu al-Yamān, transmitting from ʿAbbās ibn Yazīd, said: Wahb ibn Munabbih declared, “Acquire as many brothers as you can; if you should ever be independent of them they will not harm you, and if you find yourself in need of them they will benefit you.” ⦗2⦘

Ibn al-Mubārak, reporting from Wuhaib ibn al-Ward, said:

Meeting people, offering them sincere advice, encouraging them to do good, and patiently enduring any harm they may cause is superior to keeping away from them. This is stated explicitly in the hadith recorded by al-Tirmidhi, Ahmad, al-Bukhari in Al-Adab al-Mufrad, and Ibn Majah, on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar: “The believer who mixes with people and is patient with their harm is better than the believer who does not mix with people and is not patient with their harm.” The chain of transmission is strong.
