Commit yourself to good conduct (adab) both inwardly and outwardly; for whenever one transgresses the bounds of conduct outwardly, he is punished outwardly, and whenver one transgresses the bounds of conduct inwardly, he is punished inwardly.

— Aisha the daughter of Abu Uthman Said B. Ismail Al Hiri of Nishapur.
