أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، نا أَبُو يُوسُفَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْمُذَكّرُ، نا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَاسِينَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ، نا أَبِي، نا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عِيسَى الطَّلَقَانِيُّ، نا أَبُو حَفْصٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ
قَالَ: " مَثَلُ قُرَّاءِ هَذَا الزَّمَانِ مَثْلُ رَجُلٍ نَصَبَ فَخًّا فَوَقَعَ عُصْفُورٌ فِي فَخِّهِ فَقَالَ: مَا لِي أَرَاكَ سَجِينًا فِي التُّرَابِ؟ فَقَالَ: التَّوَاضُعُ. قَالَ: فَلِمَ حَنَيْتَ ظَهْرَكَ؟ قَالَ: مِنْ طُولِ الْعِبَادَةِ. قَالَ: فَمَا هَذِهِ الْجَنَّةُ الْمَنْصُوبَةُ؟ قِيلَ: قَالَ: أَعْدَدْتُهَا لِلصَّائِمِينَ فَلَمَّا نَسِيَ تَنَاوَلَ الْحَبَّةَ فَوَقَعَ الْفَخُّ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ فَخَنَقَتْهُ فَقَالَ الْعُصْفُورُ: إِنْ كَانَ الْعُبَّادُ يَخْنِقُونَ خَنْقَكَ فَلَا خَيْرَ فِي الْعُبَّادِ الْيَوْمَ "

He said: "The likeness of the reciters of this time is like a man who set a trap, and a sparrow fell into his trap. He said: 'Why do I see you imprisoned in the dust?' It said: 'Humility.' He said: 'Then why is your back bent?' It said: 'From long worship.' He said: 'Then what is this paradise that has been set up?' It was said: He said: 'I prepared it for those who fast.' Then, when he forgot, he reached for the grain, and the trap fell upon his neck and strangled him. The sparrow said: 'If the worshippers are strangled the way you were strangled, then there is no good in the worshippers today.'"
