حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ سَمِعَهُ مِنَ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ
مَثَلُ الْمُدْهِنِ وَالْوَاقِعِ فِي حُدُودِ اللهِ - وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً: الْقَائِمِ فِي حُدُودِ اللهِ - مَثَلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ رَكِبُوا فِي سَفِينَةٍ، فَصَارَ لِأَحَدِهِمْ أَسْفَلُهَا وَأَوْعَرُهَا وَشَرُّهَا، فَكَانَ يَخْتَلِفُ، وَثَقُلَ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّمَا مَرَّ، فَقَالَ: أَخْرِقُ خَرْقًا يَكُونُ أَهْوَنَ عَلَيَّ، وَلَا يَكُونُ مُخْتَلَفِي عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: إِنَّمَا يَخْرِقُ فِي نَصِيبِهِ، وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: لَا، فَإِنْ أَخَذُوا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ نَجَا وَنَجَوْا، وَإِنْ تَرَكُوهُ هَلَكَ وَهَلَكُوا

✧ The example of the one who flatters and the one who falls into the limits of Allah—Sufyan once said: the one who stands in the limits of Allah—is like three people who boarded a ship. One of them ended up in its lower, roughest, and worst part. He kept going back and forth, and it became burdensome for them every time he passed. He said: 'I will make a hole that will be easier for me, and my passing will not bother them.' Some of them said: 'He is only making a hole in his own share.' Others said: 'No. If they restrain him, he will be saved and they will be saved; but if they leave him, he will perish and they will perish.'
