 know a noble woman who has memorized the book of god almighty is pious and devoted to goodness. she obtained a letter from a young man to a slave girl whom he was responsible for but she was not in her possession. she informed him of the matter and he tried to deny it but he was unable to do so. so he said to him what is it to you and who is the one who is protected? do not worry about this for by god i will never reveal your secret to anyone. if i could buy her for you with my own money even if i had all of it i would make her for you in a place where you could reach her and no one would know about it.
وإني لأعلم امرأة جليلة حافظة لكتاب الله عز وجل ناسكة مقبلة على الخير، وقد ظفرت بكتاب لفتى إلى جارية كان يكلف بها، وكانت في غير ملكها، فعرفته الأمر فرام الإنكار فلم يتهيأ له ذلك، فقال له مالك ومن ذا عصم فلا تبال بهذا، فوالله لا أطلعت على سركما أحدا أبدا، ولو أمكنني ان أبتاعها لك من مالي ولو أحاط به كله لجعلتها لك في مكان تصل إليها فيه ولا يشعر بذلك أحد.
