better than this is what jafar bin sulayman bin ali did yesterday. he stumbled upon a man who had stolen a beautiful pearl which he took from him. it was searched for days later but was not found. so the man sold it in baghdad. it had been described to jewelers. so it was taken and brought to jafar. when he saw it he felt ashamed of it and said didnt you ask me for this pearl and i gave it to you? he said yes.
وأحسن من هذا ما فعله جعفر بن سليمان بن علي بالأمس، وقد عثر برجل سرق درة رائعة، أخذها من بين يديه. فطلبت بعد أيام، فلم توجد. فباعها الرجل ببغداد، وقد كانت وصفت لأصحاب الجوهر. فأخذ وحمل إلى جعفر، فلما بصر به، استحيا منه، وقال ألم تكن طلبت هذه الدرة مني، فوهبتها لك؟ قال بلى.
