17.Ibn Abī ʿUmayr narrated from Hishām ibn al-Ḥakam, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a), and Manṣūr [narrated] from al-Thumālī, from Abū Jaʿfar (a) who said
“ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn (a) used to say, ‘I would not like to have [even] the best of comforts [and wealth] if it entails humiliating myself, and I have not swallowed anything that I liked more than the suppressed rage for which I do not retaliate against the one who caused it.’”
ابن أبي عمير عن هشام بن الحكم عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام ومنصور عن الثمالي عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
كان علي بن الحسين عليه السلام يقول: ما أحب أن لي بذل نفسي حمر النعم وما تجرعت جرعة أحب إلى من جرعة غيظ لا أكافي بها صاحبها.
