Al-Husayn ibn ‘Abdillah: لا يكتم السر إلا من له شرف *** والسر عند كرام الناس كتوم None can keep a secret except a dignified one For secrets are ever hidden by the people of nobility السر عندي في البيت له غلق *** ضلت مفاتيحه والباب مختوم And secrets with me are kept in a house, locked up Whose keys are lost and its door is forever sealed Abu Hatim said, “Success is in having resolve, and resolve is in having a strong and correct opinion and such an opinion can only be attained by fortifying one’s secrets. Whoever conceals his secrets, goodness will be in his hands and whoever tells people all his secrets will become lowly to them and they will spread it. Whoever cannot keep secrets will soon come to regret and whoever falls into regret will become short of intellect and whoever remains upon such a state will return to ignorance (jahl).” [Rawdhatul-’Uqala]
