to admire what is of no benefit. is the one who admires that not like the one who admires his neighbors money the prestige of another or the horse of another who has won and whose bridle is on its head? as the common people say in their proverbs like a eunuch who is proud of his fathers reputation.
للإعجاب بما لا منفعة فيه وهل المعجب بذلك الا كالمعجب بمال جاره وبجاه غيره وبفرس لغيره سبق كان على رأسه لجامه ، وكما تقول العامة في أمثالها كالخصي يزهى بذكر ابيه .
