"عن عمر قالَ: لا تعترضْ لِما لَا يَعْنِيكَ واعْتَزِلْ عَدُوكَ، واحفظ من خَلِيلك إلا الأمينَ، فإن الأمينَ من القومِ لا يعدِله شئٌ، ولا أمين إلَّا من يخشى اللَّه، ولا تصحب الفاجرَ لِيُعَلِّمك من فُجورِه، ولا تُفْشِ إليه سرَّك، واستشر في أمرِك الذين يخافون اللَّه ﷻ".

"'Umar said: Do not get involved in what does not concern you, keep away from your enemy, and beware of your close friend, except the trustworthy one. For the trustworthy one among the people has no equal, and there is no trustworthy one except one who fears Allah. Do not accompany the wicked, lest he teach you from his wickedness, and do not disclose your secret to him. Consult in your affairs those who fear Allah ﷻ."
