“The honorable person appreciates
whoever favors him, gives excuse when his friends decline to help him,
keeps ties with those who sever them, draws closer to whoever keeps

pity and kindness for whoever he thinks is weak. As for those who
mistakenly perceive him as being weak, death would be dearer to them than the consequences of their error(1). As for the wicked, his are the opposite of these qualities.”
Rawdhaat ul-’Uqalaa’, p174
