Ibn Qutaybah said that his disputant said to
him, “What is the matter with you?” He replied to him, “I will not dispute with
you.” The disputant then said, “Thus you have come to know that I am right.”
Ibn Qutaybah responded, “No, but I respect myself more than that.” At this the
disputant retracted and said, “And I will not claim a thing that is not my
right.”Labels: Quote of the Day
