9ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِذَا بَلَغَكُمْ عَنْ رَجُلٍ حُسْنُ حَالٍ فَانْظُرُوا فِي حُسْنِ عَقْلِهِ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَازَى بِعَقْلِهِ.
9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni that Abu ‘Abdillah said: Rasulullah ﷺ said, “If you would hear good things about a man, you should examine how good his intelligence is, because he will be recompensed according to his intelligence.”
