ما قالوا: في الجبن والشجاعة
What they said on cowardice and courage
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34800 — What they said on cowardice
٣٤٨٠٠ - حدثنا وكيع قال: ثنا سفيان عن أبي إسحاق عن حسان بن (فائد) (١) العبسي قال: قال عمر: الشجاعة والجبن (غرائز) (٢) في الرجال، فيقاتل الشجاع عمن يعرف ومن لا يعرف، ويفر الجبان عن أبيه وأمه (٣).
Hassan bin Fa'id al-Absi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Bravery and cowardice are traits found in men. The brave man fights on behalf of a person, whether he knows him or does not know him, and the coward flees even from his own father and mother."
