أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، قال: حدثني العوني الجوهري، عن إبراهيم الكوفي، عن رجل من أصحابنا رفعه، قال: سئل الحسن بن علي عليهما السلام عن العقل فقال: التجرع للغصة، ومداهنة الأعداء.


7. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah, that he said. I was told by al-‘Ouni al-Jawhari, from Ibrahim al-Kufi, from a man from our companions, that he ascribed it, saying: Hasan bin Ali, peace be upon them both, was asked about the intellect. He said: To gulp a lump, and to flatter with the enemies.
