أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّازِيَّ
يَقُولُ: كَتَبْتُ مِنْ كِتَابِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ كَلَامِ شَاهٍ قَالَ: " مَقَامُ الْمُحِبِّينَ شَوْقُهُمْ إِلَى مَحْبُوبِهِمْ، وَطَلَبُهُمْ رِضَاهُ حِرْصُهُمْ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ "
