أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الْبَلْخِيَّ يَقُولُ: حدثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ اللَّخْمِيُّ، حدثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ، حدثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حدثنا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْمُلَائِيِّ
قَالَ: " قَالَ إِبْلِيسُ: ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ أَدْرَكْتُ مِنْهُ حَاجَتِي: مَنِ اسْتَكْثر عَمَلَهُ، وَنَسِيَ ذُنُوبَهُ، وَأُعْجِبَ بِرَأْيِهِ "
