“Be cautious of (the) mixing
with a person which will cause wastage of time and
corruption of the heart. For
verily, when time is wasted and the heart is corrupted, all
of the affairs of the servant will become ruined, and he
will be of those about whom Allaah, the Exalted, said:
وَلَا
تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ وَكَانَ
أَمْرُهُ فُرُطًا
.. and obey not him whose heart
We have made heedless of Our Remembrance, one who follows his own lusts and whose
affair (deeds) has been lost. (Al-Kahf 18:28)”
- Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah.
