 ahmad said i once said to him by god you are very wealthy and you know what we do not know and your shirt is dirty so why do you not order it to be washed? he said if i had little wealth and was ignorant of what you know what would you have said to me? i have thought about this for six months and the reason for it has not yet become clear to me.
قال أحمد قلت له مرة والله إنك لكثير المال، وإنك لتعرف ما نجهل، وإن قميصك وسخ، فلم لا تأمر بغسله ؟ قال فلو كنت قليل المال وأجهل ما تعرف، كيف كان قولك لي؟ إني قد فكرت في هذا منذ ستة أشهر، فما وضح لي بعد وجه الأمر فيه.
