If you leave them alone, they will not leave you alone. And if you run away from them, they will catch up to you.' The man asked, 'So what should I do?' Abu Muslim replied, 'They are your aim for a day of poverty. Take something that is not from anything.'"  

أَنَّ أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ الْخَوْلَانِيَّ شَكَا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مَا يَلْقَى مِنْ تَأَذِّيهِ بِالنَّاسِ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تُنَاقِدِ النَّاسَ نَاقَدُوكَ وَإِنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ لَا يَتْرُكُوكَ وَإِنْ تَفِرَّ مِنْهُمْ يُدْرِكُوكَ قَالَ فَمَا أَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ هُمْ غَرَضُكَ لِيَوْمِ فَقْرِكَ وَخُذْ شَيْئًا لَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ
