17.Ibn Abī ʿUmayr narrated from Hishām ibn al-Ḥakam, from Abū ʿAbdillāh , and Manṣūr [narrated] from al-Thumālī, from Abū Jaʿfar who said,

“ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn used to say, ‘I would not like to have [even] the best of comforts [and wealth] if it entails humiliating myself, and I have not swallowed anything that I liked more than the suppressed rage for which I do not retaliate against the one who caused it.’”
