Since this was the case of the pious, they followed in their affairs and movements the paths of the common people, and nothing appeared on them by which they distinguished themselves from them, and they concealed themselves with the reasons established in the world by which praise does not fall on the one who adheres to them, so the name of righteousness was not generally applied to these men, which takes them away from the righteousness of the common people, and there is no trust in them. There is no asceticism, piety, or anything that comes under the name of a special praise that they take from the common people and are referred to in it, despite the fact that they are people of piety, trust, asceticism, good character, contentment, generosity, and altruism. Such as all of this, the men of God from this class avoided, so they were called pious in the terminology of the people of God, because piety is avoidance.
