Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When you see a man who has been granted detachment from the world and few words, stay close to him, for wisdom will have been inspired in him."
Al-Tabarani recorded it from his teacher Ahmad bin Tahir bin Harmalah, and he is a kadhdhab (liar).
