If you come to a people's setting, start <strong>the</strong>m with salutation(Saying As-Salamu 'Alaikum (Peace be with you)), <strong>the</strong>n, take a side and do notutter a word till <strong>the</strong>y speak. If you find <strong>the</strong>m observing <strong>the</strong> Remembrance <strong>of</strong>Allah, join <strong>the</strong>m. But, if <strong>the</strong>y observe anything else, turn away from <strong>the</strong>m andseek o<strong>the</strong>rs (who remember Allah Almighty).

I gave you advice that if a mountain was given, it would split.He said: <strong>the</strong>n, his son was as if struck.
