سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيَّ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَمْرِو بْنَ حَمْدَانَ، يَقُولُ: وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ الْجِيرِيَّ،
يَقُولُ: " النَّاسُ عَلَى أَخْلَاقِهِمْ مَا لَمْ يُخَالَفْ هَوَاهُمْ، فَإِذَا خُولِفَ هَوَاهُمْ بَانَ ذَوُو الْأَخْلَاقِ الْكَرِيمَةِ مِنْ ذَوِي الْأَخْلَاقِ اللَّئِيمَةِ "
