The sword in the place of gentleness is a well-known verse, well-known. He says: "And placing gentleness, gentleness being generosity and giving, in the place of the sword is harmful to the noble and the morals *** just as placing the sword in the place of gentleness is" The wisdom of this is that he says placing gentleness in the place of the sword is harmful to nobility and character. Why? Because the one who deserves the sword is better than what we place for him. A criminal, a corrupter in the land, we arrest him and we have power over him, and we say, "O son, look, this sword is for you, and this car is for you, and this warehouse full of gold and silver treasures is for you, because you are a criminal." Is that wisdom or not? It is not wisdom. It is like placing the sword in the place of gentleness. A person who is a doer of good and kindness and deserves to be honored, so he is brought and we place him on the mat of killing, and we say, "We will kill you now." Why? Because you are a doer of good. Is that wisdom or not? It is not wisdom. So this verse is among the greatest of the verses of wisdom, and al-Mutanabbi is well-known as the wise one of the poets.
