Solitude
Solitude is better than being around bad people – أبي ذر
Abu Dharr said:
الوَحدةُ خَيرٌ مِن جليس السُّوءِ،
والجليسُ الصَّالحُ خَيرٌ مِن الوَحدةِ،
وإملاءُ الخيرِ خَيرٌ مِن السُّكوتِ،
والسُّكوتُ خَيرٌ مِن إملاءِ الشَّرِّ.
“Loneliness is better than Bad Company;
Good Company is better than Loneliness;
Good Speech is better than Silence;
Silence is better than Bad Speech.”
[Ibn Hajar said in “Fath” (11/284) that the chain is good and this statement is of Abu Dharr, not the Prophet: وسنده حسن لكن المحفوظ أنه موقوف عن أبي ذر].
