208 a wise person should not judge based on what appears to him of the pity of the aggrieved weeping person his complaints his frequent blaming his fickleness and his weeping. i have seen some of those who do this with certainty that they are the unjust aggressive and excessively unjust. i have seen some of the wronged people quiet in speech lacking in complaint showing a lack of concern. it comes to the mind of some who do not examine thoroughly that they are unjust. this is a place where one should be certain and overcome the inclination of the soul as a whole. a person should not incline with the characteristic we have mentioned or against it but rather he should aim for justice in a way that the truth requires equally.
٢٠٨ ينبغي للعاقل ان لا يحكم بما يبدو له من استرحام الباكي المتظلم وتشكيه وكثرة تلومه وتقلبه وبكائه، فقد وقفت من بعض من يفعل هذا على يقين انه الظالم المعتدي المفرط في الظلم. ورأيت بعض المظلومين ساكن الكلام معدوم التشكي مظهرا لقلة المبالاة. فيسبق إلى نفس بعض من لا يحقق النظر انه ظالم، وهذا مكان ينبغي التثبت فيه ومغالبة ميل النفس جملة، ولا يميل المرء مع الصفة التي ذكرنا ولا عليها، ولكن يقصد الإنصاف بما يوجبه الحق على السواء.
