Sheikh Abdulrahman as-Sa’di said:
O you who have turned away from seeking knowledge,
what is your excuse with Allah whilst you’re enjoying yourselves with good health?
And what prevents you from (seeking knowledge) whilst you are indulging in the provisions of your Rabb?
Indeed, by Allah, it is a state which none is satisfied with except for the likes of cattle;
for if you turn away from knowledge completely, then you have certainly perished and become from the losers.

Abu al-Malih narrated from Maimun:
“Whoever sins in secret should repent in secret, and whoever sins publicly should repent publicly. For people will reproach but not forgive, whereas Allah forgives and does not reproach.”
Khalid ibn Hayyan al-Raqi narrated from Ja’far ibn Burqan:
Maimun ibn Mihran said to me: “O Ja’far, tell me to my face what I dislike, for a man does not truly advise his brother until he tells him to his face what he dislikes.”
