Deuteronomy 12:30

Like a lame man’s legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

Proverbs 26:7

Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “O Ka’b ibn ‘Ujrah, I seek refuge in Allah on your behalf from the leadership of fools, for they will become rulers. Whoever has an audience before them, supports them in their wrongdoing, and affirms their lies, then he is not part of me and I am not part of him. He will never meet me at the Fountain. Whoever does not have an audience before them, does not support them in their wrongdoing, and does not affirm their lies, then he is part of me and I am part of him. He will meet me at the Fountain. O Ka’b ibn ‘Urjah, prayer brings one closer to Allah, fasting is a shield, and charity extinguishes sins just as water extinguishes fire.”
