Shaykh Rabee Al-Madkhalee:

I will mention [something] from the etiquettes of Yahya Ibn Yahya An-Naysaabooree [in the path of seeking knowledge]:

He traveled from his city – Naysaaboor- to Imam Maalik, and took [i.e. studied, memorized etc] Al-Muwatta from him. After he finished Al-Muwatta, he stayed for a year. After he had finished Al-Muwatta, he was supposed to return to his country, [but] he stayed in Madeenah for a year and kept a close companionship with Imam Maalik.

Imam Maalik said to him, “why have you stayed even though you’ve [already studied, memorized] what you were seeking after?” He replied, “I want to learn Akhlaaq [manners] from you.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

 

Allaah [The Most High] said that the Jinn said about themselves:

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٲلِكَ‌ۖ كُنَّا طَرَآٮِٕقَ قِدَدً۬ا

There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary; we are groups each having a different way. [Surah Al-Jinn’ Ayah 11]

Mujaahid said, “They [i.e. the Jinn] mean: [Some of us are] Muslims and [some] Disbelievers.” Al-Hasan and As-Sadee said, “Like yourselves [i.e. humans]; amongst them [i.e. the Jinn] are Qadariyyah, Murji’ah and Raafidah.” Sa’eed Bin Jubayr said, “[They are] different complexions.” Ibn Kaysaan said, “[They are] parties and sects.”

Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu) said:

Certainty is that you neither please the people to displease Allaah nor envy anyone for the provision Allaah has given him, nor blame anyone for what Allaah has not given you; because Allaah’s provision will neither come to you through the eagerness of the one [who wants it to come to you] nor will it be repelled by the dislike of the one who dislikes that [it should be given to you].
