أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْبَزَّارُ حَدَّثَنَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ

«لَقَدْ طَلَبَ أَقْوَامٌ الْعِلْمَ مَا أَرَادُوا بِهِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَلَا مَا عِنْدَهُ» قَالَ «فَمَا زَالَ بِهِمُ الْعِلْمُ حَتَّى أَرَادُوا بِهِ اللَّهَ وَمَا عِنْدَهُ»
