أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْفَقِيهُ، نا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُوسَى بِوَاسِطَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، نا حَاجِبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، نا وَكِيعُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ،
قَالَ: اعْتَلَّ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ فَتَأَخَّرْتُ عَنْ عِيَادَتِهِ، ثُمَّ عُدْتَهُ فَاعْتَذَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لِي: " يَا أَخِي لَا تَعْتَذِرْ، فَقَلَّ مَنِ اعْتَذَرَ إِلَّا كَذَبَ، وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الصَّدِيقَ لَا يُحَاسَبُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ، وَالْعَدُوَّ لَا يُحْسَبُ لَهُ شَيْءٌ "

He said: Sufyān al-Thawrī fell ill and I was late in visiting him. Then I visited him and made my excuses to him, and he said to me: "My brother, do not make excuses, for rarely does anyone make an excuse except that he lies. And know that a friend is not held to account for anything, and an enemy is not given credit for anything."
