Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 564
حَدَّثَنَا فَرْوَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَحَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ، ثُمَّ انْتَبَهَ فَقَالَ: لاَ حِلْمَ إِلاَّ تَجْرِبَةٌ، يُعِيدُهَا ثَلاثًا.
Farwah ibn Abi al-Maghra’ narrated to us; he said: ‘Ali ibn Mushir narrated to us, from Hisham ibn ‘Urwah, from his father, who said: I was sitting with Mu‘awiyah. He reflected to himself, then came to and said, “There is no forbearance except through experience.” He repeated it three times.
Translation notes
فَحَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ،
The Arabic says he reflected to himself, then came to; it does not mention illness.
Should the parenthetical illness note in the English witness be omitted because it is absent from the Arabic?
