SAYINGS OF UMAR THAT BECAME WELL KNOWN WISDOM
Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Whoever concealed his secrets will have the choice (of telling whomever he wants to tell), but whoever speaks or acts in a specious manner should not blame anyone who thinks badly of him. Do not think badly of a word spoken by your brother (fellow) when you can still find good ways to interpret it. Think positively of your brother until you are certain that he is not like that. Do not swear a great deal lest Allah humiliate you. There is no better reward for one who disobeys Allah concerning you that your obeying Allah concerning him. You should seek sincere friends and maintain good relations with them, for they are a pleasure at times of ease and a support at times of hardship.” (Ibn Asaker, 1987, V44:359). These are well-expressed wisdom from which we may learn a great deal.
