73 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān told me, from … :
“We have journeyed through the lands yet found no one
but you to whom every noble quality is ascribed.
So remain steadfast in the generosity you have made us used to,
or else guide us to someone else to whom we may turn.”
٧٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عبد الله قال حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عن .. .
وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا فِي الْبِلَادِ فَلَمْ نجد ... أحد سِوَاكَ إِلَى الْمَكَارِمِ يُنْسَبُ
فَاصْبِرْ لِعَادَتِكَ الَّتِي عَوَّدْتَنَا ... أَوْ لَا فَأَرْشِدْنَا إِلَى مَنْ نَذْهَبُ
