Abu Nu’aym reported: Ibrahim ibn Adham, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “It is said that nothing is harder upon Iblis (Satan) than a forbearing scholar. If he speaks, he speaks with knowledge. If he is silent, he is silent with forbearance.”

عن أبي نعيم عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ أَدْهَمَ رحمه الله قَالَ كَانَ يُقَالُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَشَدَّ عَلَى إِبْلِيسَ مِنَ الْعَالِمِ الْحَلِيمِ إِنْ تَكَلَّمَ تَكَلَّمَ بِعِلْمٍ وَإِنْ سَكَتَ سَكَتَ بِحِلْمٍ
