another group of them were tempted by the words of the ascetics and their hadiths in condemnation of the world so they repeat them in the manner in which they memorized the words they memorized without comprehending their meanings. so he admonishes them to do that on the pulpits and some of them in the prayer niches and some of them in the markets with the companions. he thinks that he is saved with god and that he is forgiven because he memorized the words of the ascetics while he is devoid of action. these people are more arrogant than those who came before them.
وفرقة أخرى منهم فتنوا بكلام الزهاد وأحاديثهم فى ذم الدنيا فيعيدونها على نحو ما يحفظونه من كلام حفظوه من غير إحاطة بمعانيها.. فيعظهم بفعل ذلك على المنابر.. وبعضهم فى المحاريب.. وبعضهم فى الأسواق مع الجلساء.. ويظن أنه ناج عند الله.. وأنه مغفور له بحفظه لكلام الزهاد مع خلوه من العمل.. وهؤلاء أشد غرورا ممن كان قبلهم.
