2044 — Al-Firyābī narrated to us, saying: Qutayba ibn Saīd narrated to us, saying: Hammād ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Ayyūb, who said: Abū Qilāba used to say: “Do not sit with the adherents of whims and desires, nor argue with them, for I cannot be sure that they will not plunge you into misguidance or make some matters of religion as confusing to you as they have been made to them.”
