The Dim-Witted vs. the Intelligent
Shaikh ʿAbdullāh Al-Bukhārī, may Allāh protect him, said:
From the priceless statements that Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn ʿAbd Al-Barr, may Allāh have mercy on him, relayed in his book Bahjah Al-Majālis (2/584) is:
The dim-witted get angry about the truth [while] the intelligent get angry about falsehood.
مِنْ نفيس الكلامِ ما نقله الحافظ ابنُ عبدالبرّ رحمه الله في كتابه (بهجة المجالس)(٢/ ٥٨٤):
"الأَحْمقُ يَغضبُ مِنَ الحقِّ،
والعاقِلُ يَغضبُ مِنَ الباطلِ".— أ.د. عبدالله البخاري (@dr_albukhary) December 21, 2020
