it is not said about wealth that there is little grazing and much milking so be careful in your affair 4 and it was mentioned before in preserving your wealth for he who preserves his wealth has preserved the most honorable. and the most honorable are in religion and honor. it has been said for shooting the arrow is sprinkled 5. and when the two gores are struck the two horns prevail 6. and when the arabs see a food that matches the flood 7 they say you do not have to weave it so crush and tear it 8. and the messenger of allah may allah bless him and grant him peace said all people are equal like the teeth of a comb and a man is many with his brother. and there is no good for you in the company of someone who does not see for you what he sees for himself. so learn the situation of your companions and the meaning of your companions if they are in this characteristic then use firmness and if they are in the opposite then act accordingly.
ولا يقال للمال على قلة الرعي وكثرة الحلب؛ فكس في أمرك ٤ ، وتقدم في حفظ مالك، فإن من حفظ ماله فقد حفظ الأكرمين. والأكرمان بالدين والعرض. وقد قيل للرمي يراش السهم ٥ . وعند النطاح تغلب القرناء ٦ . وإذا رأت العرب مستأكلا وافق غمرا ٧ قالت ليس عليك نسجه، فاسحق وخرق ٨ . وقد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الناس كلهم سواء كأسنان المشط، والمرء كثير بأخيه. ولا خير لك في صحبة من لا يرى لك مثل ما يرى لنفسه. فتعرف شأن أصحابك، ومعنى جلسائك؛ فإن كانوا في هذه الصفة فاستعمل الحزم، وإن كانوا في خلاف ذلك عملت على حسب ذلك.
