38 – Ishaq ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us; Jarir related it from Layth, from Salim ibn ʿAtiyyah, who said: al-Rabiʿ ibn Khaytham said, “People are of two kinds: an intelligent person and an ignorant one. As for the intelligent, do not harm him; as for the ignorant, do not contend with him.”
٣٨ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، نا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ خَيْثَمٍ: «النَّاسُ رَجُلَانِ عَاقِلٌ وَجَاهِلٌ، فَأَمَّا الْعَاقِلُ فَلَا تُؤْذِهِ، وَأَمَّا الْجَاهِلُ فَلَا تُجَارِهِ»
