وعزة لا يحل الضيم ساحتها صرافة فيه بالأموال والولد ومما يشبه ما نحن فيه، وإن كان ليس منه، ان رجلا من إخواني كنت أحللته من نفسي محلها، وأسقطت المؤونة بيني وبينه، وأعددته ذخرا وكنزا، وكان كثير السمع من كل قائل، فدب ذوو النميمة بيني وبينه، فحاكوا له وأنجح سعيهم عنده، فانقبض عما كنت أعهده. فتربصت عليه مدة في مثلها أوب الغائب ورضى العاتب، فلم يزدد إلا انقباضا فتركته وحاله.
