ubayd allah ibn akrash said 4 a time of treachery a shameful inheritor and a sorrowful earner 5. so do not trust the treacherous but be the inheritor of the shameful. he also said the son of adam grows old and two characteristics grow with him greed and hope. they used to criticize the one who eats alone and they said ibn omar never ate alone and they said alhasan never ate alone. and majasha alrabi heard their saying the miser is more excused than the oppressor so he said
وقال عبيد الله بن عكراش ٤ زمن خؤون ووارث شفون وكاسب حزون ٥ ، فلا تأمن الخؤون وكن وارث الشفون ، وقال يهرم ابن آدم ويشب معه خصلتان الحرص والأمل . وكانوا يعيبون من يأكل وحده، وقالوا ما أكل ابن عمر ٦ وحده قط ، وقالوا ما أكل الحسن وحده قط . وسمع مجاشع الربعي قولهم الشحيح أعذر من الظالم فقال
