أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَا: حدثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، حدثنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حدثنا أَسَدٌ، حدثنا عَدِيُّ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ الْأَعْوَرِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ سْلْمَانَ،
قَالَ: " النَّاسُ ثَلَاثَةٌ: سَامِعٌ فَعَاقِلٌ، وَسَامِعٌ فَتَارِكٌ، وَسَامِعٌ فَعَارِفٌ، وَمِنَ النَّاسِ حَامِلُ دَاءٍ، وَمِنْهُمْ حَامِلُ شِفَاءٍ، وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ إِذَا ذَكَرْتَ اللهَ عِنْدَهُ أَعَانَكَ وَأَحَبَّ ذلَكَ، وَإِنْ نَسِيتَ ذَكَّرَكَ، وَمِنَ النَّاسِ من إِنْ ذَكَرْتَ اللهَ عِنْدَهُ لَمْ يُعِنْكَ، وَإِن نَسِيتَه لَمْ يُذَكِّرْكَ، فَتَوَاضَعْ لِلَّهِ وَتَخَشَّعْ، وَخَفِ اللهَ يَرْفَعْكَ اللهُ، وَقُلْ سَلَامًا لِلْقَرِيبِ وَالْبَعِيدِ، فَإِنَّ سَلَامَ اللهِ لَا يَنَالُهُ الظَّالِمُونَ، فَإِنْ رَزَقَكَ اللهُ عِلْمًا فَابْتَغِ إِلَيْهِ كَيْ تُعَلِّمَ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكَ اللهُ، فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ الْعَالِمِ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ حَامِلِ سِرَاجٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الطَّرِيقِ، فَكُلُّ مَنْ مَرَّ يَسْتَضِيءُ بِهِ، وَيَدْعُو لَهُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَالْخَيْرِ، وَإِنَّ مَثَلَ عِلْمٍ لَا يُقَالُ بِهِ كَغَنَمٍ نَائِمٍ لَا يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ، وَإِنَّ مَثَلَ حِكْمَةٍ لَا تَخْرُجُ كَكَنْزٍ لَا يُنْفَعُ إلى "

Among people is one who, when you mention God in his presence, helps you and loves that, and if you forget, he reminds you; and among people is one who, if you mention God in his presence, does not help you, and if you forget, does not remind you. So humble yourself before God and be submissive, and fear God and God will raise you, and say peace to the near and the far, for the peace of God is not attained by the wrongdoers. If God grants you knowledge, then seek out someone to whom you may teach of what God has taught you, for the likeness of the scholar who teaches is like a man carrying a lamp on the side of the road: everyone who passes by is lit by it and prays for blessing and good for him. And the likeness of knowledge that is not spoken of is like sleeping sheep that neither eat nor drink, and the likeness of wisdom that does not come out is like a treasure that is not benefited from, to..."
