Sufyan ath-Thawri (reh.a) said:
"Man's love for the life of this world is shown in the way he greets people." [Look at a chaste poor man ... nobody talks to him. People greet him so warily as if fearing that he may pass poverty to them. But see how the people welcome a rich man, even if he does not perform prayer. They stand up with smiling faces, and each one hopes to greet him first. Note the difference between a man who is so great (valuable) as seen by Allah (swt) and another who does not even weigh a mosquito's wing - but this is life.]
Let us value more the company of those people whose deeds show their efforts of gaining value in front of Allah (swt) by fulfilling HIS criteria of a great human, which is non other than the Prophet (saw).
