أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ السَّمَّاكِ، أَنَا عُمَيْرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ
قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي الدُّنْيَا: قَالَ رَجُلٌ: لِبَشَرِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ: يَا أَبَا نَصْرٍ لَا أَدْرِي بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ آكُلُ خُبزِي قَالَ: " إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ خُبْزَكَ، فَاذْكُرِ الْعَافِيَةَ اجْعَلْهَا إِدَامَكَ "
