1. Diet of the Eyes & Ears:

   سُئِل أبو حازم:ـ
   Abu Haazim (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:

   …ما شكر العينين
   How does one thank for the blessings of eyes?

   قال: إذا رأيت بهما خيرا أذعته
   He said: ” When you see good you should spread it”.

   وإذا رأيت بهما شرا سترته
   and when you see something which does not please you you should hide it.

   And he was asked: How does one thank for the blessings of the ears ?

   فقال: إذا سمعت بهما خيرا حفظته
   He said ” When you hear something good then you should memorize it.
   …
   وإذا سمعت بهما شرا نسيته
   And if you hear something which does not please you then you should forget it.
