[Machine] "I have encountered people, if not for surpassing one of them in intelligence, I would not have surpassed him. It is enough to praise a people to differ from their actions."  

الدارمي:٢٢٤أَخْبَرَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ

«لَقَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَقْوَامًا لَوْ لَمْ يُجَاوِزْ أَحَدُهُمْ ظُفْرًا لَمَا جَاوَزْتُهُ كَفَى إِزْرَاءً عَلَى قَوْمٍ أَنْ تُخَالَفَ أَفْعَالُهُمْ»
