31. 'âqil šītân mitl hmâr il-mutrân.
"Quiet outside but a devil inside, like the archbishop's donkey."  Said of a man who appears quiet and well-behaved, but is really the opposite.

(3.)  It is stated by Waqidy, fol. 196, that the whole of the family of al-Bokayr (or Abú-l-Bokayr—there is some doubt regarding his name) embraced the Islám before the flight, and emigrated to Madynah.  Four sons of al-Bokayr are named, viz. Gháfil, whose name Mohammad changed into Άqil, Khálid.  Jyás and Άmir.  The genealogy of al-Bokayr is b. Άbd Yalyl b. Náshib b. Ghorrah (some write Άyazah, and some Ghyrah) b. Sa'd b. Layth b. Bakr b. Bakr b. Abd Manáh b. Kinánah.  He was a confederate of Nofayl b. Άbd al-'Ozzá, the father of the eccentric Zayd, mentioned in p. 41; and his four sons were the first who swore fidelity to Mohammad in the house of al-Arqam.  Άqil was killed at Badr in A.H. 3, at an age of 43 years; and Khálid was killed in A.H. 4, at an age of 34 years.
