أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ الْخَطِيبُ، بِمَرْوَ، نا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ وَالَانَ، نا الرَّكُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَهْبٍ،
يَقُولُ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ: مَا الْكِبْرُ؟ قَالَ: " أَنْ تَزْدَرِيَ النَّاسَ "، قَالَ: وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْعُجْبِ، قَالَ: " أَنْ تَرَى أَنَّ عِنْدَكَ شَيْئًا لَيْسَ عِنْدَ غَيْرِكَ "، قَالَ: " وَلَا أَعْلَمُ فِي الْمُصَلِّينَ شَيْئًا شَرًّا مِنَ الْعُجْبِ "
