51 – Muhammad ibn Idris related to me; ʿAbdah ibn Sulayman told us, from Ishaq ibn ʿIsa, from Yazid ibn Zurayʿ, from Zayd ibn Aslam, who said:
“There are two qualities; if anyone claims that true nobility lies anywhere else, reject his claim: honoring yourself through obedience to Allah, and honoring yourself by keeping away from Allah’s prohibitions.”
٥١ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، ثنا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، قَالَ: «خَلَّتَانِ مَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ أَنَّ الْكَرْمَ إِلَّا فِيهِمَا فَكَذِّبْهُ، إِكْرَامُكَ نَفْسَكَ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ، وَإِكْرَامُكَ نَفْسَكَ عَنْ مَعَاصِي اللَّهِ»
