أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْهَرَوِيَّ بِمَكَّةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ بِدِمَشْقَ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ، أخبرنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الزَقَّاقَ
يَقُولُ: " كُنْتُ مَارًّا فِي تِيهِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَخَطَرَ بِقَلْبِي - وَقَالَ ابْنُ يُوسُفَ بِخَاطِرِي - أَنَّ عِلْمَ الْحَقِيقَةِ مُبَايِنٌ الشَّرِيعَةَ، فَهَتَفَ بِي هَاتِفٌ مِنْ تَحْتِ شَجَرَةٍ، يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، كُلُّ حَقِيقَةٍ لَا تَتْبَعُهَا شَرِيعَةٌ فَهِيَ كُفْرٌ "

He said: "I was passing through the wilderness of the Children of Israel, and it occurred to my heart - and Ibn Yūsuf said, 'to my mind' - that the knowledge of reality (ḥaqīqah) is distinct from the sharia. Then a caller called out to me from beneath a tree: 'O Abū Bakr, every reality that is not followed by the sharia is disbelief.'"
