32 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us. He said: Muhammad ibn Idris narrated to us, saying: Hassan ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Misri narrated to us. Al-Sarri ibn Yahya informed me, from Wahb ibn Munabbih, who said: “Just as trees surpass one another by the fruit they bear, so too do people surpass one another by their intellect.”
٣٢ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ: ثَنَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمِصْرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي السَّرِيُّ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، قَالَ: «كَمَا تَتَفَاضَلُ الشَّجَرُ بِالْأَثْمَارِ كَذَلِكَ تَتَفَاضَلُ النَّاسُ بِالْعَقْلِ»
