What kind of day is it today?

Al Khaleel ibn Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said:


أَيََّامِي أَرْبَعَةٌ

I have four kinds of days:



يَوْمٌ أَخْرُجُ فَأَلْقَى فِيهِ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مَنِّي

A day when I go out and meet someone more knowledgeable than me,



فَأَتَعَلَّمُ مَنْهُ فَذَاكَ يَوْمُ فَائِدَتِي وَ غَنِيمَتِي

so I learn from him, and that is the day of my benefit and profit;




وَ يَوْمٌ أَخْرُجُ فَأَلْقَى فِيهِ مَنْ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ

And a day when I go out and meet someone less knowledgeable than me,




فَأُعَلِّمَهُ فَذَاكَ يَوْمُ أَجْرِي

so I teach him, and that is my day of reward;



وَ يَوْمٌ أَخْرُجُ فَأَلْقَى فِيهِ مَنْ هُوَ مِثْلِي

And a day when I go out and meet someone like myself,



فَأَُذَاكِرُهُ فَذَاكَ يَوْمُ دَرْسِي

so I study and review with him, and that is the day of my lesson;



وَ يَوْمٌ أَخْرُجُ فَأَلْقَى فِيهِ مَنْ هُوَ دُونِي وَ هُوَ يَرَى أَنَّهُ فَوْقِي

And a day when I go out and meet someone below my level, but he feels that he is above my level,


فَلاَ أكلمه، وَ أَجْعَلْنَا يَوْمَ رَاحَتِي

so I do not talk to him, and I make that my day to relax.

وَ يَوْمٌ أَخْرُجُ فَأَلْقَى فِيهِ مَنْ هُوَ دُونِي وَ هُوَ يَرَى أَنَّهُ فَوْقِي

And a day when I go out and meet someone below my level, but he feels that he is above my level,

Hmm.. So, how would you know,

Doesn't that put you in the same position as that 'someone'?

I'm saying in general,

AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
