The Importance of Remaining Silent and Limiting Socialising

Umar bin Abdul-Aziz d.101 (may Allah have Mercy on him) said:

اذا رأيتم الرجل يطيل الصمت ويهرب من الناس فاقتربوا منه فإنه يلقي الحكمة

If you see a man constantly being silent and avoids socialising with the people then get close to him. Surely, this man has been given wisdom. 

Ibn al-Jawzai in At-Tabsirah 2/289
