61 – Abu Bakr ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: Muhammad ibn al-Husayn related to me, saying: Farqad al-Sabkhi said, “I read in one of the books:
‘Tell the man of sound reason: how can his intellect be empty of any benefit when he witnesses death snatching away his brethren?’”
٦١ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، قَالَ: قَالَ فَرْقَدٌ السَّبَخِيُّ: قَرَأْتُ فِي بَعْضِ الْكُتُبِ: «قُلْ لِلْعَاقِلِ كَيْفَ يَخْلُو عَقْلُهُ مِنْ نَفَعِهِ، وَيَرَى الْمَنَايَا لِلْإِخْوَانِ مُسْتَلِبَاتٍ»
