أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْوَاعِظَ بِهَرِاةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلُّويَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مُعَاذٍ الرَّازِيَّ
يَقُولُ: " الْقَلْبُ بَابُ السَّكِينَةِ، وَاللِّسَانُ بَابُ الْقَلْبِ، فَإِذَا ضَاعَ الْبَابُ دَخَلَ مَنْ أَرَادَ، وَخَرَجَ مَنْ أَرَادَ "
