My Sisters

Yaḥyā bin Mu‘ādh رحمه الله said, “A friend is the one who you don’t have to remind to remember you in his supplication, and that you don’t have to flatter and impress, and that you don’t have to apologise to.”

Abū Ja‘far رحمه اللهsaid to his companions, “Can any of you put his hand in the pocket of his brother and take what he wants?” They replied, “No.” He said, “Then you are not brothers as you claim.” [Mukhtaṣar Minhāj ul-Qāṣidīn]
