56 – Muhammad ibn al-Husayn narrated to us; Abu Nuʿaym narrated to us; ʿUbayd Allah ibn al-Walid al-Wassafi narrated to us; ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr narrated to me; he said: Jabir said, “A man courts ruin when one of his brothers visits him and he considers what is in his house too paltry to offer, and a people court ruin when they belittle what has been set before them.”
٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْوُصَّافِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ جَابِرٌ: «هَلَاكٌ بِالرَّجُلِ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ فَيَحْتَقِرُ مَا فِي بَيْتِهِ أَنْ يُقَدِّمَهُ، وَهَلَاكٌ بِالْقَوْمِ أَنْ يَحْقِرُوا مَا قُدِّمَ إِلَيْهِمْ»
