125 — Umar ibn Ayyūb al-Saqatī narrated to us, saying: Mahfūz ibn Abī Tawbah narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Bishr al-Abdī narrated to us, from Ziyād ibn Kulayb, who said: Abū Hamzah asked Ibrāhīm, “Abū Imrān, which of these deviant doctrines appeals to you most? I would like to adopt your opinion and follow your example.” He replied, “Allah has not placed so much as an atom’s weight of good in any of them. They are nothing but Satan’s adornment, and the only way is the original way.”
١٢٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ السَّقَطِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَحْفُوظُ بْنُ أَبِي تَوْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: يَا أَبَا عِمْرَانَ أَيُّ هَذِهِ الْأَهْوَاءِ أَعْجَبُ إِلَيْكَ؟ فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ آخُذَ بِرَأْيِكَ وَأَقْتَدِيَ بِكَ، قَالَ: مَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهَا مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ خَيْرٍ، وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا زِينَةُ الشَّيْطَانِ وَمَا الْأَمْرُ إِلَّا الْأمْرُ الْأَوَّلُ
