Makarim al-AkhlaqIbn Abi al-Dunya

66 — Muhammad ibn al-Husayn narrated to me. He said: Al-'Umarī narrated to me; Hafs ibn Sulaymān al-Muqri' narrated to us. He said: A man asked Hātim of Tayy, “How do you experience miserliness in your heart?” He replied, “I feel it just as a very miserly man does, but I compel myself to follow the ways of the noble.”

٦٦ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْعُمَرِيُّ، نا حَفْصُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمُقْرِئُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِحَاتِمِ طَيِّئٍ: كَيْفَ تَجِدُ الْبُخْلَ مِنْ قَلْبِكَ؟ قَالَ: «إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ مِنْهُ مَا يَجِدُ الرَّجُلُ الْمِسِّيكُ، وَلَكِنِّي أَحْمِلُ نَفْسِي عَلَى خِطَطِ الْكِرَامِ»
