Advice of Imam Sufyaan Thauree (Rahmatullahi 'Alayh)
Bismihi Ta'ala
"When you seek out advice, let the people you
go to for advice, be people of piety - people who fear Allah Ta'ala and
who are trustworthy."
"Love people in proportion to the (good) deeds
they perform. Become humble and flexible when you are invited to
perform a good deed, and become rigid and defiant when you are invited to
commit a sin."
"If, in a gentle manner, you are able to
direct others to do good deeds, then do so. If your advice is accepted, praise
Allah Ta'ala. But if your advice is rejected, then focus on yourself,
because rectifying yourself is an endeavour that should keep you very busy."
