AsSalaamu Aalaykum WarahmatAllah
This poem was seen pinned up on the wall of a masjid .
Very wise words indeed.
Be Cautious Of.
"Be cautious of humiliating an honorable person Or embarrassing an intelligent one.
Be cautious of ennobling a despicable person Or joking with a foolish one Or indeed living with an immoral being.
I have truly tasted all pleasures in life But I did not find anything sweeter than well-being.
And I have tasted all burdens in life But I did not find anything bitter than being in need of people
And I have carried both iron and stone But I did not find anything more burdensome than debt
You should know that life is but two days; A day in your favor and a day against you
So if it is in your favor, do not become proud And if it is against you, then practice patience."
