Az-Zuhri reported that a man from Bali said, "I came to visit the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with my father. My father spoke to him while I was not there. I said to my father, 'What did he say to you?' He replied, 'When you desire something, then you must proceed slowly until Allah shows you a way out of it or until Allah makes a way out for you.'"  

عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَلِيٍّ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَ أَبِي فَنَاجَى أَبِي دُونِي قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي مَا قَالَ لَكَ؟ قَالَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَمْرًا فَعَلَيْكَ بِالتُّؤَدَةِ حَتَّى يُرِيَكَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ الْمَخْرَجَ أَوْ حَتَّى يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَخْرَجًا  

Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyya said, "Not wise is he who does not deal correctly with a person whose company he cannot avoid until Allah appoints for him a release or a way out."  

عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ قَالَ لَيْسَ بِحَكِيمٍ مَنْ لاَ يُعَاشِرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ مَنْ لاَ يَجِدُ مِنْ مُعَاشَرَتِهِ بُدًّا حَتَّى يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَرَجًا أَوْ مَخْرَجًا
