honoar  was  derived  firom  his  own  worthy  and  not  like  one  who
relies  for  hononr  merely  on  the  bones  of  his  ancestors."  An
anecdote  of  Al  Hajj&j  connected  with  this  phrase  is  given  by
Mayd&ni  at  the  first  cited  proverb,  and  from  Sherlshi  in  De
Sacy's  commentary.  Whether  the  proverb,  "  *Is&m  was  sleeping
at  the  honr  of  departnre,"  Arab.  Prov.  II.  770,  refers  to  the
same  person  I  am  not  able  to  determine.  More  on  this  subject
will  be  foand  in  the  notes  to  the  kasideh  of  An  N&bighah  in  De
Sacy's  ChrestamatAie.
