Start a business of worshiping Allah, and all types of profits will come to you without needing any capital. — Malik ibn Dinar
Al-Husayn ibn ‘Abdillah:
لا يكتم السر إلا من له شرف *** والسر عند كرام الناس كتوم
None can keep a secret except a dignified one
For secrets are ever hidden by the people of nobility
السر عندي في البيت له غلق *** ضلت مفاتيحه والباب مختوم
......And secrets with me are kept in a house, locked up
Whose keys are lost and its door is forever sealed!
Abu Hatim: ‘The intelligent one must adhere to salvation by staying away from probing into the faults of people, and instead should preoccupy himself with his own faults. Surely, whoever preoccupies himself with his own faults instead of the faults of others, will find peace and relaxation in his being and his heart wi...ll not be exhausted. Whenever he looks to his faults and errors, then the similar faults of his brother will be easy for him to bear. However, whoever preoccupies himself with the faults of others instead of his own, then his heart will become blind, he will become tired out and he will forget his own shortcomings. The weakest of people is the one who criticizes others for what is in them, and the weakest from amongst them is the one who criticizes others for what is also within himself. And whoever criticizes others, will be criticized by them.’
from Rawdhat al-'Uqalaa' by Ibn Hibban
Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood said:
لا يصلح الكذب في جدٍّ ولا هزل، ولا أن يعد أحدكم ولده ثم لا ينجز له
“Lying is not correct, neither in seriousness nor in seriousness nor in jest. None of you should promise his child something and then not give it to him.”
["Al-Adab Al-Mufrad", 387].
Imaam Al-Bukhaari narrated:
وقد سئل الحسن البصري عن الجار فقال: أربعين دارا أمامه وأربعين خلفه وأربعين عن يمينه وأربعين عن يساره
Al-Hasan Al-Basri was asked about the term neighbor and said: “The term ‘neighbor’ includes the forty houses in front a person, the forty houses behind him, the forty houses on his right and the forty houses on his left.”
["A-Adab A-Mufrad", 109].
["Rawdah Al-Uqala", 1/45].

Ibn Hibaan wrote:
الواجب على العاقل أن ينصف أذنيه من فيه ، يعلم أنه انما جعلت له أذنان وفم واحد ليسمع أكثر مما يقول
“It is obliged for the bright person to use his ears twice as much in stead of his tongue and to realise that he has received two ears and just one mouth, so that he will be listening more than that he speaks.”
