The Idiot Is Known By Six Characteristics:

 

Ibn Al-Jawzī رحمه الله  said:

The idiot is known by six characteristics:

• Becoming angry over nothing.

• Giving to one who should not be given to.

• Speaking regarding that which is of no benefit.

• Trusting everyone.

• Spreading secrets and not differentiating (in that) between his friend and his enemy.

• Speaking about whatever comes to his heart whilst believing that he is the most intelligent of the people.
