"If you attend a study session, only behave like a man wishing to expand his knowledge and seeking a higher reward from God. Do not act like a man content with what he holds, who is waiting for a weakness to criticize , or an oddity to raise.

Otherwise just stay at home, awarding yourself rest, a good morality, and a salutary outcome in front of God."
