How happy we Muslims would be if we adhered to the morals described by al-Muqanna' al-Kindi: The difference between me and my father's sons and my uncle's sons is very different indeed If they eat my flesh I spare their flesh, and if they destroy my glory I build them glory They are not quick to help me, but if they call me to help I come to them swiftly And if they cut ties with me in error, I maintain love and affection for them I do not bear old grudges against them, for the noble among people is not one who bears grudges
