so i became angry as you became angry and when you transfer me to your state i will do what you did and you and i will become as the arab said i am angry and my friend is a hundred. so what do you think of someone who is angry with rage and filled with anger because i am angry with the situation and filled with ingratitude. but i enter the house and come out to you wearing a belt so i hasten to you today what i saved for tomorrow. you have learned that the strike of admonition is better than the strike of hatred and malice so you gain the exchange between the two pains and the preference between the two insults.
فأغضب كما غضبت، فإذا نقلتني إلى حالك فعلت فعلك، وصرت أنا وأنت كما قال العربي أنا تئق وصاحبي مئق ٣ . فما ظنك بتئق من الغيظ مملوء من الغضب، لأني متأق من الموق ٤ مملوء من الكفران. ولكني أدخل الى المنزل فأخرج اليك مؤتزرا، فأعجل لك اليوم ما ادخرته الى غد. وقد علمت أن ضرب الموعظة دون ضرب الحقد والسخيمة ٥ ، فتربح صرف ما بين الألمين، وفضل ما بين الشتمين.
