English Translation
Ibn Buraydah al-Aslami said: "A man insulted Ibn Abbas, so Ibn Abbas said: 'You insult me while I have three qualities: When I come upon a verse from the Book of Allah the Almighty, I wish that all people knew what I know of it. When I hear of a judge from the judges of the Muslims ruling justly, I am delighted, though I may never appear before him. And when I hear of rain falling in a land of the Muslims, I am delighted, even though I have no livestock there.'"
