"عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ عَدِىِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ: إِنَّ مَعْروفَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُنْكَرُ زَمَانٍ قَدْ مَضَى، وَإِنَّ مُنْكَرَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ مَعْرُوفُ زَمَانٍ مَا أَتَى، وَإنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَبْرَحُوا بِخَيْرٍ مَا دُمْتُمْ تَعْرِفُون ما كُنْتُمْ تُنْكِرُون، ولا تُنْكِرُون ما كُنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ، وَمَا قَامَ عالمكُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُ بَيْنَكُمْ غَيْر مُسْتَخْفٍ".

"From Ibn Sirin, from 'Adi ibn Hatim, who said: Indeed, what you consider good today is the evil of a past age, and what you consider evil today is the good of an age that has not yet come. You will not cease to be good as long as you recognise what you used to deny and do not deny what you used to recognise. And your scholar has not stood speaking among you without concealment."
