125 – Muhammad ibn al-Husayn said: Dawud ibn al-Muhabbar narrated to us; he said: Aʿyan Abu al-Ahwas narrated to us; he said: I heard Malik ibn Dinar say, “It is not fitting for a rational person to hand himself over to his soul, allowing it to follow its appetites for food and clothing.” He then added, “Once I ate a single lavish meal, and the conceit it bred in me clung to me for a long time.”
