حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، حدثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي قِرْصَافَةَ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، حدثنا عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ بْنُ خُبَيْقٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يُوسُفَ بْنَ أَسْبَاطٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللّٰهُ يَقُولُ: >ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ: لَا تُحَدِّثْ بِمَعْصِيَتِكَ، وَلَا بِوَجَعِكَ، وَلَا تُزَكِّ نَفْسَكَ<
Translation
