It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Dharr! How will you be when you are among the dregs of people (that is, the vile and worthless)?" And he (peace and blessings be upon him) interlaced his fingers (as an illustration). I said: "O Messenger of Allah! What do you command me?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Patience, patience! Deal with people according to their (outward) manners, but oppose them in their (evil) deeds."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) only through this chain, and Abu Tawbah (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
