حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ
خِيَارُ عِبَادِ اللهِ الَّذِينَ إِذَا رُؤُوا ذُكِرَ اللهُ، وَشِرَارُ عِبَادِ اللهِ الْمَشَّاؤُونَ بِالنَّمِيمَةِ، الْمُفَرِّقُونَ بَيْنَ الْأَحِبَّةِ، الْبَاغُونَ الْبُرَآءَ الْعَنَتَ
