It has a proverb, so you taught it, then you brought it into existence as you taught it. You are not in the same matter and in your own mind the inventor of it, but rather the inventor of it is the one who invented its proverb in himself and then taught it to you. And if people attribute the invention to you in it in the sense that they did not see that thing from anyone else, then return to you. To what you know of yourself, and do not pay attention to those who do not know that of you, for the Truth, Glory be to Him, has not arranged for the world to arrange for one who obtains what he does not have, nor has he thought about it, and it is not permissible for him to do that, nor have he invented in himself something that he did not have, nor said to himself, “Should we do this and that?” This is all. What is not permissible for him is that the inventor of a thing takes separate existing parts [Page 91 of the Cairo edition] of existing things and composes them in his mind and imagination in a way that has never been achieved before in his knowledge, and if he precedes it, he does not care, for in that he is in the position of the first to whom no one preceded him, as poets and writers do. The eloquent in inventing invented meanings. There is an invention that was previously made, so the listener imagines that he stole it. The inventor should not look at anyone except at what happened to him, especially if he wanted to enjoy and enjoy the pleasure of the invention. No matter how much the inventor looks at something to the one who preceded him in it after he invented it, he may perish and have his liver broken.
