ADVISE:- ~Wahb ibn al-Munabbih’s profound advice:

"O my son, do not argue with the learned ones such lest you become
lowly in their sight and thus they reject you . Do not dispute with
the foolish lest they in turn harm you and insult you. Indeed, the one
who reaches the rank of the scholars is he who bears patience and sees
their point of view . And indeed, the one who is saved from the
foolishis he who holds his tongue and remains silent from them. Don't
ever think that by arguing with the faqih (scholar), you will gain
anything except increasing his anger and making him accustomed to
that. Let it never bethe case that in your attempt to protect yourself
from small matters which you hear , you thenfall into great matters
which you dislike. Do not expose yourself for the sake of gratifying
your anger , and if an ignorant person harms you then let your
forbearance benefit you . If you are someone who does good only when
good is done to him, then what is your reward , and what is your
virtue over others ? Surely, if you wish for reward and virtue, then
do good to the one who does you harm , forgive the one who has wronged
you, benefit the one who brings you no benefit and wait for the reward
of all that from Allah , for that is surely the complete righteous
good deed which a person would not want to be merely rewarded for in
this lowly world (i.e. he would want his reward to be in the
Hereafter)."
