94 – Muhammad ibn ʿAbbād told me; his uncle Khalīfah ibn Mūsā passed it on; from Sharqī ibn Qaṭamī, who said: Aktham ibn Ṣayfī remarked:
“Regret that follows folly, and need accompanied by affection, are better than hatred coupled with wealth.”
٩٤ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ خَلِيفَةَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ شَرَقِيِّ بْنِ قَطَامِيٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَكْثَمُ بْنُ صَيْفِيٍّ،: «النَّدَامَةُ مَعَ السَّفَاهَةِ، وَالْحَاجَةُ مَعَ الْمَحَبَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْبِغْضَةِ مَعَ الْغِنَى»
