248—Al-Hasan informed us. He said: Ismaʿil informed us. He said: Ahmad ibn Mansur narrated to us. He said: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us. He said: Maʿmar narrated to us, who said:
“Ibn Tawus was sitting when a man from the Muʿtazilites came and began to speak. Ibn Tawus put his fingers into his ears and said to his son, ‘My dear son, put your fingers into your ears and hold them firmly; do not listen to anything he says.’”
Maʿmar said: “That is, because the heart is weak.”
