Hadith 480

480. Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: If a believer enrages his brother, it means that he leaves him. As-Sayyid ar-Radisays: It is said ‘‘hashamahu’’or‘‘ahshamahu’’to mean ‘‘He enraged him’’. According to another view it means ‘‘He humiliated him’’. While‘‘ihtashamahu’’means ‘‘He sought these for him’’, and that is most likely to cause him to separate. This is the end of our selection of the utterances of Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, We are praiseful to Allah, the Glorified, for having enabled us to collect the scattered utterances from various sides and to bring together from different places the material that was lying far away. We intend, as we stipulated in the beginning, to leave some blank pages at the end of every chapter for the insertion of whatever we may get and the addition of whatever comes to us, for it is possible that some material which is not in our view at present or which is not available may become known to us and fall in our hands. We have no ability save through Allah. In Him we trust, and He is Sufficient for us. He is the best Supporter. This book was completed in the month ofRajab, in the year 400 A. H. May Allah send blessings on our master Muhammad the last of the prophets who guided us towards the best path, and his chaste descendants and his companions who are the stars of conviction.
