133 - ʿAbdullāh narrated to us: Ḥātim Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Azdī narrated to us, that he narrated from al-Muʿammal ibn Ismāʿīl, who said: Sufyān al-Thawrī, May Allah have mercy on him, said to a man: "Tell me, does that which you dislike come to you from someone you know, or from someone you do not know?" He said: "No, rather from those I know." He said: "Therefore, the fewer there are of these, the better it is."
