On Interacting with others(trust,consultation and friendship)

It is reported that ‘Umar b. Al-Khattâb –Allâh be pleased with him – said:
Whoever exposes himself to suspicion, let him blame only him self for whoever suspects him.
He who covers his secret is in a position to choose [to correct him self].
Assume the best about your brother until what comes to you from him over comes you [and you have to change your opinion].
Never do you pay back some one who disobeys Allâh in his dealings with you with the likes of obeying Allâh in your dealings with him.
Take righteous brothers [as friends]; acquire them in plenty, for they are a beautification in prosperity and an aid during calamity.
Do not ask about what has not yet happened until it actually happens, for what has happened is enough of an occupation to worry about what has not happened.
Let not your speech be given freely except to those who want to hear it and will value it.
Do not seek help in fulfilling a need you have except from some one who wants success for you in that endeavor.
Do not con sult except people who fear Allâh, and do not accompany the sinner, [lest]  you learn his sinfulness.
And be humble at the graves.
Abû Dâwûd, Kitâb Al-Zuhd article 89.
