Brief Explanation
(«الأهواء : هَوَي» is the plural of «هَوَيٰيَهْوِي», which means to fall down. Thus, the people of desires (ashab al-ahwa) fall before their base desires, and in the same way, they will fall into Hell, as the famous proverb goes: «الجزاء من جنس العمل» (As you sow, so shall you reap).
From all these traditions, it is established that one should neither sit with the people of innovation (ahl al-bid‘ah), philosophers, those who follow their base desires, and those enslaved by their passions, nor should one listen to their words.)
