[74] And it was said: "The noble’s might is his etiquette."
[75] And it was said: "A person without etiquette is like a word without meaning, or like a body without a spirit. Good etiquette is that you do not dispute your people, you do not say what you do not know, you do not reach for what you cannot attain, and that your tongue does not contradict what is in your heart, nor your public state contradict your inner secret (Sariirah)."
[76] And it was said: "Be most eager for etiquette, for it is the proof of chivalry (Muru’ah), a comfort in desolation, a companion in exile, a peer in presence, a means when all means are exhausted, wealth in times of lack, and an elevation of lineage. Through it, might and nobility are attained. The head of etiquette is that your word matches your deed. There is no good in sight without experience, nor in wealth without generosity, nor in a friend without loyalty, nor in jurisprudence (Fiqh) without piety (Wara’), nor in charity without intention, nor in life without health and security."
