*Do not claim to have knowledge in every issue that is presented before you when you discuss with your friends and companions.
*Be ashamed to inform your companion that you know, and that he is ignorant directly or indirectly.
*If you helped someone, and want to be praised or recognized on account of it, and want to remind him of what you did for him, know that if you do that you will be dispraised by people. If you hold patiently, people will eventually recognize you for the goodness that you have done.
*If you want someone to inform others about a Hadeeth or story which you have heard, do not 'help' in relating it, for this will indirectly point to the fact that you know of what he is talking about. This is also a sign of one's arrogance, pride, and inappropriate manners.
*For your friends and companions to know that you are one who does what he does not say he will do, is better than them to know you as one who says what he does not do.
*Know that the more you distance yourself from people, the more people will hold grudges and enmity against you. If you are always in the company of people, you might gain evil friends. Evil friends are more dangerous than having enemies.
*When you meet the general public, do not intermingle with them too much, be reserved, and prepared. When you are with your good friends be kind to them and talk to them in a kind and generous manner.
