Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #159
Being a master
Abu'd-Darda' used to say to people. "We know you better than the
veterinarian knows his animals. We recognise the best of you from the worst
of you. The best of you is the one whose good is hoped for and the one
whose evil you are safe from. As for the worst of you, that is the person
whose good is not hoped for and whose evil you are not safe from and he
does not free slaves."
