أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الشُّعَيْبِيُّ، أخبرنا أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ نُجَيْدٍ، حدثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، حدثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَثْرَمُ، حدثنا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْفُضَيْلَ بْنَ عِيَاضٍ
يَقُولُ: " آفَةُ الْقُرَّاءِ: الْعَجَبُ، وَاحْذَرْ أَبْوَابَ الْمُلُوكِ فَإِنَّهَا تُزِيلُ النِّعَمَ " فَقِيلَ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا عَلِيٍّ، كَيْفَ تَزُولُ النِّعَمَ؟ قَالَ: " الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اللهِ نِعْمَةٌ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ إِلَى خَلْقٍ حَاجَةٌ، فَإِذَا دَخَلَ إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الْمُلُوكِ، فَرَأَى مَا بَسَطَ اللهُ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّورِ وَالْخَدَمِ اسْتَصْغَرَ مَا هُوَ فِيهِ، فمِنْ ثَمَّ تَزُولُ النِّعَمُ "

He used to say: "The bane of the reciters (qurrāʾ) is self-admiration, and beware of the doors of kings, for they remove blessings." It was said to him: "O Abū ʿAlī, how do blessings vanish?" He said: "A man has a blessing from God and has no need of any of creation. Then when he enters upon these kings and sees what God has spread out for them of houses and servants, he regards what he has as small. From that, blessings vanish."
