Difference does not spoil a friendly issue.. Who said it and what do you know about it?

O enemy of God, you are hardening with these people, and you have no dignity?!

Al-Asma’i said: A man from the people of Basra was nasty and evil, hurting his neighbors and insulting their honor, so a man came to him and admonished him, so he said to him: What is the matter with your neighbors complaining about you?

He said: They envy me.

He said to him: What do they envy you for?

He said: On the cross.

He said: How is that?

He said: Kiss with me.

So he approached his neighbours, and he sat down, and they said to him: What is wrong with you?

He said: Tonight, Muawiyah’s book came to me that Malik bin Al-Mundhir and so-and-so be crucified, so he mentioned men from the nobles of Basra, so they leaped at him and said: O enemy of God, you are crucified with these and you have no dignity?!

So he turned to the man and said: Do you not see them envy me over the crucifixion, so what if it was good?!

A difference of opinion does not spoil friendship

Ahmed Lutfi al-Sayed is called the Master of the Generation, and al-Akkad described him as the Plato of Arabic literature, and his famous sentence is often used: “Difference in opinion does not spoil friendship an issue”;

He is a journalist, lawyer, director of the Egyptian University, and head of the Egyptian Umma Party.

Ahmed Lotfi El-Sayed was born in the village of Burqin in the Egyptian governorate of Dakahlia in 1872, and he grew up in a well-off family, which was able to ensure his education until he joined the law school.

After his graduation, Ahmed Lotfi El-Sayed worked in the Egyptian Public Prosecution Office, and was appointed as a deputy judge in Fayoum.

He began his political activity at the same time, so he participated with his old friend Abdel Aziz Fahmy in establishing a secret society called the Egypt Liberation Society.

Which Khedive Abbas Helmy supported in the hope that it would help him in obtaining major powers from the British occupation.

Among the decisions proposed by the Khedive, is that Ahmed Lutfi al-Sayed travel to Switzerland for a year, which would allow him to obtain citizenship, and return to Egypt to establish a newspaper that enjoys immunity from the English due to European citizenship.

Al-Sayyid spent a year studying literature and philosophy in Switzerland, but the plan was thwarted by the decision of the Sublime Porte, which refused to naturalize Lotfi Al-Sayed, so he returned to Cairo and submitted a report to the Khedive stating: “Egypt cannot be independent without the efforts of its sons, and the national interest requires that His Highness head The Khedive is a comprehensive movement for public education.

Lotfi Al-Sayed has authored a number of intellectual books, including "Folded Pages from the History of the Independence Movement", "Reflections", "Al-Mutakhatbat", "Reflections on Philosophy, Literature, Politics and Sociology".

He also translated several works of Aristotle, including "Ethics", "Natural Science", and "Politics", in addition to memoirs entitled "The Story of My Life".

The professor of the generation died in 1963, raising the slogan of science as a door to the advancement of nations: “Prepare the nation first and teach the ignorant people, and look at what you can do, not at what you want, for it is in vain that you say to the crippled a secret for a long time, and in vain you say to the child, “See a mountain.” Rather, they promised the child until he grew up. He grows up, and the sick until he recovers and his arm is strong!”
