Al-HilmIbn Abi al-Dunya

86 – Al-Ḥusayn related to me, saying, “Al-Waqqāṣ recited to me,” who in turn said, “Al-ʿAlāʾ ibn al-Minhāl al-Ghanawī recited:

A dog once clenched its teeth around my cloak,
and I did not pull the trailing hem from its bite;
for if you rouse a lowly man,
he will content himself with tearing down your honor instead of his own.”

٨٦ - وَحَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ، قَالَ أَنْشَدَنِي الْوَقَّاصُ قَالَ: أَنْشَدَنِي الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ الْغَنَوِيُّ: وَكَلْبٍ مَلَا فَاهُ مِنْ مِئْزَرِي ... فَلَمْ أَرْفَعِ الذَّيْلَ مِنْ عَضِّهِ لِأَنَّ اللَّئِيمَ إِذَا هِجْتَهُ ... سَيَرْضَى بِعِرْضِكَ مِنْ عِرْضِهِ "
