129 – Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿīd told us: ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Qurashī narrated, saying, “I heard Sufyān say:
“Commit yourself to renunciation and Allah, exalted is He, will expose to you the hidden defects of this world. Commit yourself to scrupulous restraint and Allah will lighten your reckoning. Leave what makes you doubtful for what leaves you free of doubt, and drive away uncertainty with certainty so that your religion remains sound.”
١٢٩ - حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ الْقُرَشِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ، يَقُولُ: عَلَيْكَ بِالزُّهْدِ يُبَصِّرْكَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَوَرَاتِ الدُّنْيَا، وَعَلَيْكَ بِالْوَرَعِ يُخَفِّفِ اللَّهُ ﷿ حِسَابَكَ، وَدَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ، وَادْفَعِ الشَّكَّ بِالْيَقِينِ يَسْلَمْ لَكَ دِينُكَ
