Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 3163a
✧ Alif with Sin
"أَسْعَدُ النَّاسِ فِي الفِتَنِ كُلُّ خَفِيٍّ تَقِيٍّ إنْ ظَهَرَ لَمْ يُعْرَف، وإنْ غَابَ لَمْ يُفْتَقَدْ، وَأَشْقَى النَّاسِ فِيهَا كُلُّ خَطيبٍ مصْقعٍ، أَوْ رَاكبٍ مُوْضعٍ، لا يَخْلُصُ مِنْ شَرِّها إِلا مَنْ أخْلَصَ الدُّعَاءَ كَدُعَاءَ الغَرقِ فِي البَحْر".

Machine translation, not reviewed
"The happiest of people in times of trial is every hidden, pious person: if he appears, he is not recognized, and if he is absent, he is not missed. And the most wretched of people in them is every eloquent orator or mounted rider, who will not escape their evil except one who sincerely supplicates like the supplication of the drowning in the sea."
