the fleeting wealth of the rich. Remember! It is strictly forbidden to show humility to the wealthy people due to their wealth. It is stated that the one who is humble with a wealthy person because of his wealth, two thirds of his Deen [i.e. religion] goes away.  (Kashf-ul-Khifa, vol. 2, pp. 215, Raqm 2442)

If somebody sees anyone committing a sin and there is a strong likelihood that the sinner will give up the sin if advised, then it is a more reward-reaping act to prevent the sinner from that sin than to deliver even many hours of a long speech.
