68 – al-Ḥusayn b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān recited to me, on the authority of a man from the Umayyad clan:

Indeed, what restrains me from wronging a kinsman
is a noble father and a flawless forbearance;
if he grows gentle, I grow gentle too,
and should his scorpions crawl, I fill his hands with pardon and generosity.
