Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu
Ibn Abee Haatim (d.328H) - rahimahullaah - said:
"I entered Damascus and came upon the students of hadeeth, and I passed by the
circle of Qaasim al-Joo'ee (d.248H). I found a group sitting around him and he
was speaking. Their appearance amazed me; and I heard him saying: "Seize the
benefit of five things from the people of your time: when you are present, you
are not known; when you are absent, you are not missed; when you are seen, your
advice is not sought; when you say something, your saying is not accepted; and
when you have some knowledge, you are not given anything for it. I also advise
you with five matters: when you are treated unjustly, do not behave unjustly;
when you are praised, do not become happy; when you are criticised, do not
become upset; when you are not believed, do not become angry; and if people act
deceitfully towards you,do not act deceitfully towards them." Ibn Abee Haatim
said: So I took that as my benefit from Damascus."

Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 2482 Narrated by AbuHurayrah (May Allah be pleased
with him)
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say, " O Allah, grant me benefit
in what Thou hast taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase my
knowledge. Praise be to Allah in all circumstances. I seek refuge in Allah from
the state of those who go to Hell."
Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a tradition
whose isnad is gharib.
Transliteration:an Abi Hurairah (radiya Allahu anhu) qaal:
qaala Rasul Allah (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam): "Allahumma infa'ni bima
'allamtani, wa allimni maa yanfa'oni wa zidni 'ilman, alhamdulillahi alaa kolli
haal, wa a'odtho billahi min haali ahlil naar."
