حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَابَانَ، عَنْ لُقْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
« إِنَّ الْجَاهِلَ لَا يَكْشِفُ إِلَّا عَنْ سَوْءَةٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَ حَصِيفًا ظَرِيفًا عِنْدَ النَّاسِ، وَإِنَّ الْعَاقِلَ لَا يَكْشِفُ إِلَّا عَنْ فَضْلٍ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَيِيًّا مَهِينًا عِنْدَ النَّاسِ
