I have 4 kinds of days

Imaam Ibraheem an-Nakhaa'ee said: "I have four kinds of days:
  1. A day when I go out and meet someone more knowledgeable than me, so I learn from him, and that is the day of my benefit and profit.
  2. A day when I go out and meet someone less knowledgeable than me, so I teach him, and that the day of my reward.
  3. A day when I go out and meet someone like me and I study and review with him, and that is the day of my lesson.
  4. A day when I go out and meet someone below my level but he sees himself as being above my level, so I don't talk to him, and I make that the day for my rest." (Jaami'u Bayaan Al-'Ilm 878)
I love the above quotes very much! simple, concise, true, and powerful!!

This does NOT include, however, being complacent or cowardly with disobedience to Allah in our midst. Allah said in the very next verse: آل عمران وَلْتَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ(104)وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا وَاخْتَلَفُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ وَأُولَئِكَ ...

Al-Nawwas bin Sam'an, radiyallahu 'anhu , reported that the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam , said: "Righteousness is good character, and sin is that which wavers in your heart and which you do not want people to know about." [Muslim] According to Wabisah bin Ma'bad, radiyallahu 'anhu , who said: I came to the Messenger of Allah , sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam , and he said: "You have come to ask about righteousness ?" " Yes," I answered. He said: "Consult your heart. Righteousness is that about which the soul feels tranquil and the heart feels tranquil, and sin is what creates restlessness in the soul and moves to and fro in the breast, even though people give you their opinion (in your favour) and continue to do so."
