أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ، أنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ الْعُصَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّادِيُّ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيُّ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْكَلْبِيِّ،
قَالَ: قَالَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ: " إِذَا بَلَغَكَ عَنْ أَخِيكَ الشَّيْءُ تُنْكِرُهُ فَالْتَمِسْ لَهُ عُذْرًا وَاحِدًا إِلَى سَبْعِينَ عُذْرًا، فَإِنْ أَصَبْتَهُ وَإِلَّا قُلْ: لَعَلَّ لَهُ عُذْرًا لَا أَعْرِفُهُ "
