أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَا: نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، نا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ يَحْيَى، نا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ زُفَرَ، نا ابْنُ السَّمَّاكِ، عَنِ ابْنِ شُبْرُمَةَ،
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ بَالَغَ فِي الْخُصُومَةِ أَثِمَ، وَمَنْ قَصَّرَ فِيهَا خُصِمَ، وَلَا يُطِيقُ الْحَقَّ مَنْ مَالَى عَلَى مَنْ بِهِ دَارَ الْأَمْرُ، وَنَصْلُ الصَّبْرِ التَّصَبُّرُ، وَمَنْ لَزِمَ الْعَفَافَ هَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمُلُوكُ والسُّوقَةُ "

That he used to say: "Whoever goes to excess in disputation commits sin, and whoever falls short in it is overcome. He cannot bear the truth who sides against the one on whom the matter turns. The blade of patience is forced patience, and whoever holds fast to chastity, kings and common people become insignificant to him."
