Makarim al-AkhlaqIbn Abi al-Dunya

200 — Abū Bakr ibn Aslam narrated to us: al-Nadr ibn Shumayl narrated to us, saying: Shuʿba narrated to us, from Abū Ishāq, who said: I heard Hassān ibn Fāʾid say: I heard ʿUmar ibn al-Khattāb—may Allah be pleased with him—say, “Cowardice and courage are innate dispositions in people. You may encounter a man who fights on behalf of someone he does not know, and you may encounter a man who flees, abandoning his own father.”

٢٠٠ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ، نا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، قَالَ: نا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حسَّانَ بْنَ فَائِدٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ﵁ يَقُولُ: «الْجُبْنُ وَالشَّجَاعَةُ غَرَائِزُ فِي النَّاسِ، تَلْقَى الرَّجُلَ يُقَاتِلُ عَمَّنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ، وَتَلْقَى الرَّجُلَ يَفِرُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ»
