1. They claimed that I maligned the son of Sheth
How could I malign him, for he is a sign of knowledge?
١. زَعَموا أَنَّني هَجَوتُ اِبنَ شيثٍ
كَيفَ أَهجوهُ وَهوَ في العِلمِ آيَه
2. I merely said he is good of faith
Forbearing, as if he were the son of Nifayah
٢. إِنَّما قُلتُ إِنَّهُ حَسَنُ الظَنِّ
حَليمٌ كَأَنَّهُ اِبنُ نِفايَه
