قال الشيخ مقبل بن هادي الوادعي رحمه الله:
فما أسهل أن تحفظ لك كلمات 'فلان حزبي' أو 'فلان عميل' وترددها من هذا المجلس إلى هذا المجلس.
بل أريد منك أن تبدأ: بحفظ القرآن وبحفظ ما استطعت من أحاديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم, وهكذا اللغة العربية.
فانا اقول: إن هذا الصراع ناشئ عندهم عن فراغ أعجبهم هذا الكلام ام لم يعجبهم، فلو شَغلتُم أنفُسَكم بحفظِ القرآن وبتحصيلِ العلمِ النافعِ لما وجدتم وقتاً لهذا الكلام.

Shaykh Muqbil b. Hādī al-Wādi'ī رحمه الله said:
"And how easy is it for you to memorise statements like: 'so and so is a ḥizbī (partisan)' or 'so and so is a supporter (of the ḥizbīs)' and you repeat this from one gathering to another.
Rather what I want from you is that you begin with memorising the Qurʿān and memorising that which you are able to from the aḥādīth of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and likewise the Arabic language.
Therefore I say: these disputes only came about due to free time, whether they liked these statements or not. So if you were to busy yourselves with memorising the Qurʿān and (striving) to attain beneficial knowledge, then you would not have time (to waste) with such statements."

“One of the students of Hadīth used to crave and yearn for seeking knowledge. So he would visit the elder teachers and sit in their gatherings.
Then when some time had passed, he saw that he had not benefited at all and that he had not attained a great deal of knowledge. So he said: ‘I am not fit for this knowledge” and gave it up, since he thought that there was something wrong with his understanding or that he was not qualified for seeking knowledge.
One day, after he had left off seeking knowledge for some time, he passed by a rock that had water falling on it, drop by drop. The continuous dripping of water had affected the rock to the point that it had made a hole in it.
The man stood there for a while, contemplating and reflecting, and said: ‘This water, in spite of its softness, was able to have an effect on this rock, in spite of its hardness. And my mind and heart are not harder than this rock and neither is this knowledge any softer than the water.’
So he became determined to go back to seeking knowledge, which he did and excelled at. And he later became one of those referred to with regard to it.”

Types of Companionship
Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd رحمه الله said:
"Choose the best for companionship and friendship; someone who will help you in your quest, in drawing nearer to your Lord, and agrees with you in your noble objective and intention. Take [from me] the most precise gauge in categorising friends:
• A friend who befriends you [solely] for his welfare.
• A friend who befriends you [solely] for fun.
• A friend who befriends you for virtue.
As regards the first two, then their relationship with you is cut off when the necessitating reason is fulfilled: the attainment of welfare in the first and fun in the second.
As for the third category, then this is the one we will concentrate on. He is the one who is driven into a friendship due to mutual belief in the first establishment of virtue in both people.”
