- وَقَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ - وَكَانَ خَيْرًا مِنِ ابْنَيْهِ - عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالُوا:
الرَّجُلُ يَعْرِفُهُ عَلَيْنَا. فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا عَرِيفُكُمُ الْأَهْيَسُ الْأَكْيَسُ الذِّئْبُ الْأَطْلَسُ، الْمُكُدُ الْمِلْحَسُ الَّذِي إِذَا قِيلَ: " هَا " انْتَهَسَ، وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ " هَاتِ " خَنَسَ

✧ A man who knows us. He said: Your arif is only the bold, the cunning, the dark wolf, the persistent, the greedy; when it is said to him 'Here', he seizes, and when it is said to him 'Give', he retreats.
