1. the weakness of natural disposition
2. clinging to habitual practices
3. the keeping of corrupt company.
He was asked to elaborate these points. He replied:
“Weakness of natural disposition is consuming forbidden things, clinging to habitual practices is viewing and listening to prohibited; things and engaging in slander. Corrupt company means, you follow whatever passion toward which men incite you.”
