Al-HilmIbn Abi al-Dunya

87 – Ahmad ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman recited to me:

I likened him to a dog, but soon discovered
he is even less loyal to a friend than any dog.
A dog, once it knows a man intends it no harm, will not hurt him;
but whoever keeps this fellow’s company is plunged into misery for loving him.

٨٧ - وَأَنْشَدَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: شَبَّهْتُهُ بِالْكَلْبِ ثُمَّ وَجَدْتُهُ ... أَقَلَّ حِفَاظًا لِلصَّدِيقِ مِنَ الْكَلْبِ مَتَى يَعْرِفِ الْكَلْبُ امْرَأً لَا يَضُرَّهُ ... وَصَاحِبُ هَذَا فِي عَنَاءٍ مِنَ الْحُبِّ
