65 – Al-Ḥusayn b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to me; Mālik b. Daygham al-Rāsibī narrated to me; he said: Al-Muhallab b. Abī Ṣufrah advised his children, “My son, your clothes look finer on someone else than they do on you, and your mounts appear more splendid beneath another rider than beneath you.”
٦٥ - حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ ضَيْغَمٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ قَالَ قَالَ الْمُهَلَّبُ بْنُ أَبِي صُفْرَةَ لِوَلَدِهِ يَا بُنَيَّ ثِيَابُكُمْ عَلَى غَيْرِكُمْ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهَا عَلَيْكُمْ وَدَوَابُّكُمْ تَحْتَ غَيْرِكُمْ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهَا تحتكم.
