 said that ibn hazms sharpness began to take on different forms after that. after the era of the collar it began to be represented by excessive anger and expressing that in speech action and confusion. this was also met by excessive seeking of satisfaction but he continued to deal with these two matters and was able to overcome anger as a whole but that made him unable to do so in the matter of satisfaction. sometimes sharpness took the form of excessive hatred which he resisted by suppression and coercion until it did not appear to people. however he remained unable to befriend those who were truly hostile to him—this is a demand that those who did not have excessive hatred are also unable to do. it also took the form of a love of fame and victory. this characteristic remained with him except in what is not permissible in religion. as for the selfadmiration that followed it it was able to strangle him forever.
قلت إن الحدة لدى ابن حزم أخذت تتلبس من بعد أشكالا مختلفة، فقد أخذت تتمثل بعد عهد الطوق بالإفراط في الغضب والتعبير عن ذلك بالكلام والفعل والتخبط، وكان يقابل ذلك أيضا الإفراط في طلب الرضى، ولكنه ظل يعالج هذين الأمرين فاستطاع التغلب على الغضب جملة، وأعجزه ذلك في شأن الرضى، وتشكلت الحدة أحيانا لديه بصورة حقد مفرط فقاومه بالطي والقهر، حتى لم يبد للناس، ولكنه ظل عاجزا عن مصادقة من عاداه عداوة صحصحة وهذا مطلب يعجز عنه أيضا من لم يكن لديه حقد مفرط، وكذلك تشكلت في صورة حب الشهرة والغلبة، وقد ظلت هذه الصفة تلازمه إلا فيما لا يحل في الديانة، فأما العجب الذاتي اللاحق بها فقد استطاع خنقه إلى الأبد.
