"قال ابنُ النَجَّارِ في تاريخِهِ أَخْبَرَنِى يُوسُفُ بنُ المُبَاركِ بْنِ كَامِلِ الجَعَّافِ قال: أنشدنا أبو الفتح مُفْلِحُ بنُ أَحْمَدَ الرُّومِىَّ، قَالَ: أنشدنا أبُو الحُسَيْنِ بْنُ العَاصِ أبي القاسم التنوخي، عَنْ أَبِيه عَنْ جَدَّهِ، عن أَجْدَادِه إلى على بن أبي طالب: أَصُمْ عَنْ الكَلَامِ الْمَحفظاتِ... واحْلِمُ الحلم لي أَشْبَه وَإن لأَتْرُك حَبلَ الكَلَامِ... لكيلا أُجاب بِمَا أَكْرَهُ إِذَا ما اجْتَررتُ سِفَاهَ السَّفِيهِ... عَلَىَّ فَإنِى أَنا الأَسْفَهُ فَكَمْ من فَتىً يُعْجِبُ النَّاظِريِنَ... لَهُ أَلْسُنٌ وَله أَوْجُهُ....

"Ibn al-Najjar said in his History: Yusuf ibn al-Mubarak ibn Kamil al-Ja'af informed me, saying: Abu al-Fath Muflih ibn Ahmad al-Rumi recited to us, saying: Abu al-Husayn ibn al-'As Abi al-Qasim al-Tanukhi recited to us, from his father, from his grandfather, from his forefathers, up to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib: Be silent from speech that is to be guarded... and be patient, for patience suits me better. And if I do not leave the rope of speech... then I shall not be answered with what I dislike. When I endure the folly of the fool... upon me, for I am the more foolish. How many a youth pleases the onlookers... he has tongues and he has faces..."
