قَالَ: وَثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ عَلَى بَابِ ابْنِ عَائِشَةَ يُكْنَى أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ
قَالَ: قَالَ عَبَّادٌ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ: " لَوْ كَانَ الْعَقْلُ عِلْقًا يُشْتَرَى لَتَغَالَى النَّاسُ فِي شِرَائِهِ، فَالْعَجَبُ مِنْ أَقْوَامٍ يَشْتَرُونَ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ مَا يَذْهَبُ بِعُقُولِهِمْ "
