144 - Hārūn ibn Abī Yaḥyā al-Sulamī narrated to me, from a Sheikh from Tamīm: That Muʿāwiya said to Ṣaʿṣaʿa ibn Ṣūḥān: "What is chivalry?" He said: "Patience and silence: patience toward the one who angers you even if he reaches his extent against you, and silence until you are asked."

١٤٤ - حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ أَبِي يَحْيَى السُّلَمِيُّ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، مِنْ تَمِيمٍ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ لِصَعْصَعَةَ بْنِ صُوحَانَ: مَا الْمُرُوءَةُ؟ قَالَ: " الصَّبْرُ وَالصَّمْتُ: الصَّبْرُ لِمَنْ غَاظَكَ وَإِنْ بَلَغَ مِنْكَ، وَالصَّمْتُ حَتَّى تُسْأَلَ "
