Listening and the Listener

Imam Ali (AS) said, May Allah have mercy on the servant who hears a ruling so he heeds it, is invited to the right path so he approaches it, and holds on to the guide so he is saved.

Imam Ali (AS) said, Knowledge is not ruined except by the miscomprehension of the listener.

Imam Ali (AS) said, Listen and you will learn; remain silent and you will be safe.

Imam Ali (AS) said, One who listens well benefits quickly.

Imam Ali (AS) said, Do not desire for everything that you hear, for this suffices as gullibility (or foolishness).

Imam Ali (AS) said, Train your ears to listen well and do not pay attention to that which does not increase anything useful for you by listening to it, for verily this corrodes the hearts and leads to dispraise.

Imam Ali (AS) said, The listener is a partner of the speaker.
