How disgusting it is for a person to fear for what is in his hand, thieves, so he hides it and empowers his enemy from himself by revealing what is in his heart of his own secret or the secret of his brother. Jawar came with me in Mecca, I think, in the year five hundred and ninety-nine, a man from the people of Tunis called Abd. Al-Salam bin Al-Sariyyah, and he had a slave girl whom he bought in Egypt during the hardship that occurred in Egypt in the year five hundred and ninety-seven. He said to her, “O slave woman, I advise you to do two things: keeping the secret and being honest.” The slave girl said, “What do you need? I know that if a person is honest, he shares with people their money, and if he is a secret keeper, he shares with them their minds, so this is desirable.” The answer was from her, so he asked about her and found her free, sold at the cost of Egypt, so he freed her and released her, so she returned to her mother and sisters. Muawiyah, may God be pleased
