True Wisdom
Ibn ʿUyaynah reportd that ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ (may Allah be pleased with him) said: وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ: قَالَ عَمْرُو بنُ العَاصِ: “The intelligent one is not the one who knows the difference between good and evil, لَيْسَ العَاقِلُ مَنْ يَعْرِفُ الخَيْرَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ، rather he is the one who knows (ie: can recognize) the lesser of two evils.” وَلَكِنْ هُوَ الَّذِي يَعْرِفُ خَيْرَ الشَّرَّيْنِ. al-Ḏahabī, Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubalāʾ 3/74 الذهبي، سير أعلام النبلاء ٣/٧٤ https://shamela.ws/book/10906/2880 Telegram: https://t.me/aljadwal Tumblr: https://al-jadwal.tumblr.com
