A wise person said: There are six things by which it can be understood that a person is ignorant:
1. Undue anger. If a person gets angry at people, animals, or even anything he doesn't like for no reason, this is a sign that he is an ignorant person.
2. Useless talk. A wise person does not say words that will not benefit himself and those around him. Otherwise, it is a sign of ignorance. Therefore, when a person speaks, he should speak things that will benefit both his religion and his world.
3. Irrelevant expenditure. Giving a person's property to places that are not entitled to him and that do not bring him any reward is a sign that he is ignorant.
4. To reveal a secret publicly, in front of everyone.
5. Trusting everyone.
6. Not being able to distinguish friend from enemy. In other words, a person should know his friend and approach him as required by friendship, and he should also know his enemy so that he can escape from him. The first enemy is the devil. Then he should get away from it first.
