THE RIGHT OF THE CLAIMED ADVERSARY

And the right of the adversary against whom you have a claim is that if your claim against him is true⁴⁸ , you should use pleasant words while you are filing your claim, since hearing the claim is harsh for the defendant. And you should provide your evidence with lenience, and respite, and with the clearest statements, and with absolute gentleness. And you should not dispute with him over gossip lest your proofs will be voided and you will lose the opportunity to prove them. And there is no power but in God.

حق الخصم المدعى عليه

وَأمّــــــا حَقُّ الخَص'مِ ال'مُدَّعَى عَلَيهِ فَإن' كَانَ مَــــــــا تدَّعِيهِ حَقًّا أَج'مَل'تَ فِي مُقَـــــاوَلَتِهِ(40) بمَخرَجِ الدَّع'وَى، فَإنّ لِلدَّع'وَى غِل'ظَةً فِي سَــــــــــــــم'عِ ال'مُدَّعَى عَلَيهِ. وَقَصَــــــــــــــــد'تَ قَص'دَ حُجَّتِكَ بالرِّف'قِ وَأَم'هَلِ ال'مُه'لَةِ وَأب'ينِ ال'بَيَـــــــانِ وَألطَفِ اللُّط'فِ ولَم' تَتشَـــــــاغَل' عَن' حُجَّتِكَ بمُنازَعَتِهِ بالقِيلِ وَالقَــــــــــــــــالِ فَتَذهَب' عَن'كَ حُجَّتُكَ ولا يَكُونَ لَكَ فِي ذَلِكَ دَر'كٌ. ولا قُوَّةَ إلا باللهِ.
