و عن ابن عمر أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : المسلم الذي يخالط الناس ويصبر على أذاهم أفضل من الذي لا يخالطهم ولا يصبر على أذاهم
Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The believer who mixes with people and bears their annoyance with patience is better than the believer who does not mix with people and does not put up with their annoyance.” (Sunan Ibn Majaah: 4032)
