أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الشَّقَرِيِّ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ :" حَدِّثْ حَدِيثَكَ مَنْ يَشْتَهِيهِ، وَمَنْ لَا يَشْتَهِيهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَصِيرُ عِنْدَكَ كَأَنَّهُ إِمَامٌ تَقْرَؤُهُ "

Abu Al-Numan told us, Hammad bin Zaid told us, on the authority of Abu Abdullah Al-Shaqri, on the authority of Ibrahim, he said: “Tell your talk to whoever desires it. And whoever does not desire him, he will become to you as if he were an imam whom you read.”
