Imām al-Dhahabī (d. 748 AH -رحمه الله-) said:

«فَيَنْبَغِي لِلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَسْتَعِيذَ مِنَ ٱلْفِتَنِ، وَلَا يَشْغَبَ بِذِكْرِ غَرِيبِ ٱلْمَذَاهِبِ، لَا فِي ٱلْأُصُولِ وَلَا فِي ٱلْفُرُوعِ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ ٱلْحَرَكَةَ فِي ذَٰلِكَ تُحَصِّلُ خَيْرًا، بَلْ تُثِيرُ شَرًّا وَعَدَاوَةً وَمَقْتًا لِلصُّلَحَاءِ وَٱلْعُبَّادِ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِيقَيْنِ، فَتَمَسَّكْ بِٱلسُّنَّةِ، وَأَلْزِمِ ٱلصَّمْتَ، ‌وَلَا ‌تَخُضْ ‌فِيمَا ‌لَا ‌يَعْنِيكَ، وَمَا أَشْكَلَ عَلَيْكَ فَرُدَّهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَقِفْ، وَقُلْ: ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ.»

“It is proper for the Muslim to seek refuge from tribulations and not cause disturbance by mentioning strange or obscure views, whether in foundational matters or subsidiary rulings. I have never seen agitation in such things produce any good; rather, it stirs up evil, enmity, and resentment among the righteous and devout from both sides. So hold fast to the Sunnah, cling to silence, do not delve into what does not concern you. And whatever is unclear to you, refer it back to Allah and His Messenger, pause, and say: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’”

💎[[ Hush Please, Stop Being Loud & Wrong: If Only the Ignorant Remained Silent! ]]

🖊️Al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Mizzī -رحمه الله- said:

لَوْ سَكَتَ مَنْ لَا يَدْرِي، لَاسْتَرَاحَ وَأَرَاحَ، وَقَلَّ ٱلْخَطَأُ، وَكَثُرَ ٱلصَّوَابُ.

“If only the one who does not know would remain silent, he would find relief and bring others relief; mistakes would be fewer, and correctness would be more abundant.”

💎[[Glad Tidings for the Sick Muslim]]

Umm al-ʿAlāʾ [the paternal aunt of Hakīm b. Hizām] -رضي الله عنهما-reported:

عادَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَرِيضَةٌ، فَقَالَ:

The Messenger of Allah -ﷺ- visited me while I was ill, and he said:

أَبْشِرِي يَا أُمَّ العَلَاءِ، فَإِنَّ مَرَضَ المُسْلِمِ يُذْهِبُ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَطَايَاهُ، كَمَا تُذْهِبُ النَّارُ خَبَثَ الذَّهَبِ وَالفِضَّةِ

“Rejoice, O Umm al-ʿAlāʾ! For indeed, the illness of the Muslim—by it, Allah removes his sins just as fire removes the impurities from gold and silver.”
