حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد، حدثني أبي، ثنا محمد بن مسلم، ثنا سلمة بن شبيب، ثنا مبارك أبو حماد، مولى إبراهيم بن سام قال: سمعت سفيان الثوري، يقول فيما أوصى به علي بن الحسن السلمي: «عليك بالصدق في المواطن كلها، وإياك والكذب والخيانة ومجالسة أصحابها فإنها وزر كله… وارض بما قسم الله لك من الرزق تكن غنيا  وتوكل على الله تكن قويا
