He said: Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Umar al-Jiâabi reported from Abu âAli al-Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Kindi, who reported from Amru ibn Muhammad al-Harith, who reported from his father Muhammad ibn al-Harith, who reported from al-Sabah ibn Yahya al-Muzni, from al-Harith ibn Husayrah, from his father who said: Amirul Muâmineen, âAli ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, told his followers: Be among people like a honeybee among the birds.
For every quality that a bird has (like flight and speed), it considers the bee as weak; but if the birds know what blessings the bees carry in their stomach, they would not have treated them such. Mix up with the people with your tongues and your bodies (i.e. in appearance), but disassociate from them with your hearts and your deeds. Every soul shall have what it earns, and on the Day of Judgement, he will be with the one he loved."
