(Hadhrat Hakimul Ummat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi – rahmatullah
alayh)
Giving some naseehat (good counsel) to Hadhrat
Maalik Bin Dinaar (rahmatullah alayh), Hadhrat Hasan Basri (rahmatullah alayh)
said:
"Never commit three
acts.
One: Never sit in the company of rulers even if they invite
you with honour and affection.
Two: Never be alone with a woman even if she is the Rabiah of
the time.
Three: Never listen to music, for it will ultimately exercise
its corruptive effect on you."

Majlis" Vol. 13 No. 5 (Mujlisul Ulama of South Africa, PO Box 3393, Port
