حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ يَعْقُوبَ الطَّالْقَانِيَّ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ: بَقِيَ مَنْ يَنْصَحُ، قَالَ: فَهَلْ بَقِيَ مَنْ يَقْبَلُ؟
It was said to ‘Abdullāh bin Mubārak (may Allāh have mercy upon him):
“Has there remained anyone who still offers advice?”
He responded:
“Do you know anyone who accepts it?”
