وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ دَعْلَجُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ دَعْلَجَ، نا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، نا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ رَاهَوَيْهِ، أنا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَخْبَرَنِي أَزْهَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَرَارِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ،
قَالَ: " كَانَ يُقَالُ: إِذَا جَلَسْتَ فِي قَوْمٍ فِيهِمْ عِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا أَقَلَّ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَتَصَفَّحْتَ وُجُوهَهُمْ فَلَمْ تَرَ فِيهِمْ أَحَدًا يُهَابُ فِي اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْأَمْرَ قَدْ رَقَّ "
