Madanī pearl: At the time of shaking hands, as per the Sunnaĥ, both the palms should be empty, no handkerchief or object should be held in the hand and one palm must touch another palm.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Here are some wise men’s quotations, ‘Do not ponder over three things:
1. On your poverty and penury (and trouble), because your brooding over it will increase your grief (and stress) and rise your avarice.
2. About your tyrant’s oppression against you, because of this, malice will increase and anger will remain constant.
3. Do not ponder over a long life in the world, because you will then waste your life in accumulating wealth whereas in the matter of practicality of deeds you will be only procrastinating.’
We should therefore concentrate on the life of the Hereafter instead of wasting our time in irrational thinking of worldly affairs as our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی had a Madanī way of doing things. (Antidote to Suicide, pp. 50)
