I won’t be affected
It is reported from Sufyân Al-Thawrî – Allah have mercy on him – that he said:
A person who sits with a heretic (an adherent of bid’ah) will not escape one of three things:
Either he will become a trial (fitnah) for others, or some deviation will occur in his heart and he will slip and be cast into the Fire by Allah, or he will say to himself, ‘By Allah, I don’t care what they say, I am confident about myself;’ but whoever feels secure from Allah about his religion even for the blinking of an eye, Allah will take his religion away from him.
Ibn Waddâh, Al-Bida’ p125.
Preventing Heart Disease
Al-Hasan Al-Basrî – Allah have mercy on him – said:
Do not sit with an adherent of bid’ah for he will cause a disease in your heart.
Ibn Waddâh, Al-Bida’ p124.
A Fire in the Mosque
It is reported from Abû Idrîs Al-Khawlânî – Allah have mercy on him – that he used to say:
I would rather hear of a fire in the masjid than hear of a bid’ah in it without there being anyone to do away with it. Never do a people innovate a bid’ah in their religion except that Allah removes a sunnah from them.
Ibn Waddâh, Al-Bida’ p92.
Abû Idrîs Al-Khawlânî was the chief judge of Damascus in his time, its main scholar, renowned for his exhortations. He was born in the year of the Conquest of Makkah and his father is regarded as a Companion. He narrated from a number of the Companions. He died in 80H, Allah have mercy on him.
Knowledge transforms the student
Al-Hasan Al-Basrî – Allah have mercy on him – said:
When a man sought knowledge, it would not be long before it could be seen in his humbleness, his sight, upon his tongue and his hands, in his prayer, in his speech and in his disinterest (zuhd) in worldly allurements. And a man would acquire a portion of knowledge and put it into practice, and it would be better for him than the world and all it contains – if he owned it he would give it in exchange for the hereafter.
Ibn Al-Mubârak, Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqâ`iq Vol.1 p.156.

Talk is Easy
‘Abdullah b. Mas’ûd – Allah be please with him – said:
Everyone speaks of good things. It is those whose words and deeds match who have acquired their share. Those whose words and deeds do not match have only reproached themselves.
Ibn Al-Mubârak, Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqâ`iq Vol.1 p.153.
