From the Words of al-Fuḍayl Concerning Seclusion

30 - Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Shaqīq narrated to me: Ibrāhīm ibn al-Ashʿath informed us, he said: I heard al-Fuḍayl say: "Whoever feels lonely in solitude and finds comfort with people will not be safe from ostentation." (1).

Notes

(1) Hasan (Good): In it is Ibrāhīm ibn al-Ashʿath—the servant of Fuḍayl ibn ʿIyāḍ—who is acceptable in heart-softening reports (raqāʾiq). See: Mīzān al-Iʿtidāl (1/20), and Lisān al-Mīzān (1/36).
