قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي خَالِي، قَالَ: نا أَبُو خَطَّابٍ، نا خَالِدُ بْنُ خِرَاشٍ، نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْكَرِيمِ، سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ،
يَقُولُ: " لَا تَشْتَرِيَّنَ صَدَاقَةَ أَلْفٍ بِعَدَاوَةِ وَاحِدٍ " أَنْشَدَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، أَنْشَدَنِي الْقَاضِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ كَامِلٍ، أَنْشَدَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّحْوِيُّ لِلْخَلِيلِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ:" [البحر الطويل] تَكَثَّرْ مِنَ الْإِخْوَانِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ... إِنَّهُمْ بُطُونٌ إِذَا اسْتَنْجَدْتَهُمْ فَظُهُورُ وَمَا بِكَثِيرٍ أَلْفُ خِلٍّ لِعَاقِلٍ... وَإِنَّ عَدُوًّا وَاحِدًا لَكَثِيرُ"

He would say: "Do not buy the friendship of a thousand at the price of the enmity of one." Abū Zakariyyā b. Abī Isḥāq recited to us, the judge Abū Bakr b. Kāmil recited to me, ʿUbaydullāh b. Ibrāhīm al-Naḥwī recited to me, from al-Khalīl b. Aḥmad:" [Meter: al-Ṭawīl] Gain as many brothers as you can... for they are a belly (inner support) when you seek their aid, and a back (outer support) A thousand friends are not many for a wise man... and indeed a single enemy is many"
