الزهد لأحمد:١٤٨٣ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْبَلْخِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ كَانَ

يُقَالُ إِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ لَيْسَ بِالتَّحَلِّي وَلَا بِالتَّمَنِّي وَإِنَّمَا الْإِيمَانُ مَا وَقَرَ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَصَدَّقَهُ الْعَمَلُ
