57 – ʿAbdullāh narrated to us: ʿAbdur-Raḥmān ibn Ṣāliḥ related to us, saying: Ḥafṣ ibn Ghayāth transmitted from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, from his father, who said: “The true man is not the one who, once he has become embroiled in a matter, manages to wriggle free; rather, the man of resolve is he who keeps away from matters in the first place, so that he never falls into them.”
