١٦٩ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُنِيبٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَخْلَدَ بْنَ حُسَيْنٍ يَقُولُ: مَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ ﷿، عَبْدًا وَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يُعَرِّفَ النَّاسَ مَكَانَهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ: لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا حَتَّى أَحَبُّوا أَنْ لا يُعْرَفُوا.
