He, who is possessed of plenty, and is miserly with his great wealth toward his people, will be dispensed with, and abused./ He who keeps his word, will not be reviled; and he whose heart is guided to self-satisfying benevolence will not stammer./ And he who dreads the causes of death, they will reach him, even if he ascends the tracts of the heavens with a ladder.
The Poem of Zuhair, from The Mu'allaqat
