أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ السُّلَمِيُّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ بْنَ الْخَشَّابِ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ الْجُرَيْرِيَّ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ
يَقُولُ: " مَنْ نَظَرَ فِي مَطْعَمِهِ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الزُّهْدُ مِنْ غَيْرِ دَعْوَى، وَلَا يَشَمُّ طَرِيقَ الصِّدْقِ عَبْدٌ دَاهَنَ نَفْسَهُ، وَدَاهَنَ غَيْرَهُ "
