Al-Samt wa-Adab al-LisanIbn Abi al-Dunya

405—Yūsuf ibn Mūsā narrated to us: Jarīr narrated to us, from Hamza al-Zayyāt, who said: Alī ibn Abī Tālib—may Allah be pleased with him—said:

“Disclose your secret to none but yourself,
for every confidant has a confidant of his own.
I have seen that wicked men
leave no skin unscathed.”

٤٠٥ - حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ﵁: «لَا تُفْشِ سِرَّكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ، فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَصِيحٍ نَصِيحًا، فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ غُوَاةَ الرِّجَالَ لَا يَتْرُكُونَ أَدِيمًا صَحِيحًا»
