7 - قال: حدثني أبو حفص عمر بن محمد الصيرفي قال: حدثنا أبو الحسن أحمد بن الحسين الصوفي قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن مطيع قال: حدثنا خالد بن عبد الله، عن ابن أبي ليلى، عن عطية، عن كعب الأحبار قال: مكتوب في التوراة: من صنع معروفا إلى أحمق فهي خطيئة تكتب عليه. وصلى الله على محمد وآله الطيبين الطاهرين وسلم تسليما.

Translation

7. He said: Abu Hafs Umar ibn Muhammad al-Sayrafi reported to me from Abul Hasan Ahmad ibn al-Husayn al-Soofi, who reported from Abdullah ibn Mutee’, who reported from Khalid ibn Abdillah, from Ibn Abi Layla, from Atiyyah from Ka’b ibn al-Ahbar who said: "It is written in Torah that whoever does a good turn to a fool, it is an error which is rendered against himself." And May Allah bless Muhamamad and his pure progeny and send them peaceful greetings.
