[Machine] One day, Malik said, "Do not come to us in your clothes like this." He said, "May Allah rectify the matter, I do not know what has changed you towards me? I used to come to you in these clothes." He said, "O Malik, do you know what discourages us from you? You do not want what is in our hands, and that alienates us from you." He said, "Malik said, 'If I were to write something from the words in my Mus'haf, I would write the words of Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad Al-Thaqafi."  

قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ يَا مَالِكُ لَا تَدْخُلْ عَلَيْنَا فِي ثِيَابِكَ هَذِهِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ الْأَمِيرَ مَا أَدْرِي مَا غَيَّرَكَ عَلَيَّ؟ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَدْخُلُ فِيهَا عَلَيْكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا مَالِكُ أَتَدْرِي مَا يُجَرِّئُكَ عَلَيْنَا؟ إِنَّكَ لَا تُرِيدُ مَا فِي أَيْدِينَا ويَحْجُبُنَا عَنْكَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ قَالَ مَالِكٌ فَلَوْ كُنْتُ كَاتِبًا شَيْئًا مِنَ الْكَلَامِ فِي دَفَّتَيْ الْمُصْحَفِ لَكَتَبْتُ كَلَامَ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ
