Al-Samt wa-Adab al-Lisan - Ibn Abi al-Dunya - (97)

120 — 'Abd Allāh ibn Khayrān narrated to us: al-Mas'ūdī informed us, from Wadī'ah—that is, al-Ansārī—who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattāb—may Allah be pleased with him—said, “Do not involve yourself in what does not concern you. Keep away from your enemy, and be wary of any friend among the people except one who is trustworthy; none is trustworthy except one who fears Allah ⦗98⦘ Most High. Do not associate with a wicked man, lest you learn his wicked ways. Do not disclose your secret to him, and consult those who fear Allah regarding your affairs.”

121 — Muhammad ibn al-Sabbāh narrated to us: Habbān ibn 'Alī narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn 'Ajlān, from Ibrāhīm ibn Murrah, from 'Umar ibn al-Khattāb—may Allah be pleased with him—reporting something similar.

١٢٠ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ خَيْرَانَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ وَدِيعَةَ يَعْنِي الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ﵁: «لَا تَعْرِضْ لِمَا لَا يَعْنِيكَ، وَاعْتَزِلْ عَدُوَّكَ، وَاحْذَرْ صَدِيقَكَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا الْأَمِينَ، وَلَا أَمِينَ إِلَّا مَنْ خَشِيَ اللَّهَ ⦗٩٨⦘ تَعَالَى، وَلَا تَصْحَبِ الْفَاجِرَ لِتَعْلَمَ مِنْ فُجُورِهِ، وَلَا تُطْلِعُهُ عَلَى سِرِّكَ، وَاسْتَشِرْ فِي أَمْرِكَ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ اللَّهَ» ١٢١ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ﵁ نَحْوَهُ
