The second Caliph, Umar ibn Khattab, often used to express his sense of disillusionment about people he had come to like, when, on further acquaintance with them, he discovered them to be idle. “On learning that he does not work, he appears to be of no value (he has debased himself in my eyes).” (Al-Majalisah wa Jawahir al-‘Ilm, Hadith No. 3005).
