they hate because of their hatred for him his son and they despise because of their despise for him his people and they attribute to him rare acts of baseness that he did not attain and strange acts of miserliness that he did not do and they even double their bad praise of him as much as they doubled their good praise of the generous.
ويبغضون، بفضل بغضه ١ ، ولده، ويحتقرون، بفضل احتقارهم له، رهطه، ويضيفون اليه من نوادر اللؤم ما لم يبلغه، ومن غرائب البخل ما لم يفعله، وحتى ضاعفوا عليه من سوء الثناء، بقدر ما ضاعفوا للجواد من حسن الثناء.
