56 – ʿAbdullāh narrated to us: ʿAbdullāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Sawdah al-Balkhī related to us, saying: Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah said, “The intelligent person is not the one who merely knows good and evil; rather, the intelligent is the one who, having recognized good, follows it, and, having recognized evil, steers clear of it.”
٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَوْدَةَ الْبَلْخِيُّ، قَالَ: قَالَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ «لَيْسَ الْعَاقِلُ الَّذِي يَعْرِفُ الْخَيْرَ وَالشَّرَّ وَلَكِنَّ الْعَاقِلَ الَّذِي يَعْرِفُ الْخَيْرَ فَيَتَّبِعُهُ، وَيَعْرِفُ الشَّرَّ فَيَتَجَنَّبُهُ»
