Among the negative traits of the soul is excessively inclining towards the companionship of people for worldly reasons. It is important to know that a muslim will adopt the characteristics of their companions. This is advised in a Hadith found in Sunan Abu Dawud, number 4833. Therefore, a muslim should instead incline towards the pious. In addition, a muslim should know that when they reach their grave their wealth and companions will leave them and only their deeds will stay with them. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2379. Therefore, a muslim should be more concerned with sincerely performing righteous deeds then keeping company with people for worldly reasons. Chapter 43 Az Zukhruf, verse 67:
“Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous.”
Among the negative traits of the soul is continuing in disobeying Allah, the Exalted, while believing one will escape punishment as no obvious punishment has occurred yet. A muslim must understand the difference between a punishment being delayed and being completely disregarded. Allah, the Exalted, does not disregard actions He sometimes delays the consequences of actions to give a person an opportunity to sincerely repent. A muslim should therefore take this opportunity before their time runs out.
The next negative trait of the soul is when a person loves to discuss the faults of others. A muslim should remember that whoever uncovers the faults of others will have their faults exposed. And whoever covers the faults of others will have their faults concealed by Allah, the Exalted. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 2546. A muslim should therefore treat others how they wish to be treated by others by not exposing the faults of others and instead concealing them.
