٨ - حدثنا الحسين بن أحمد بن إدريس رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا أبي قال: حدثنا إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن هشام بن سالم، قال: سئل أبو عبد الله عليه السلام فقيل له: بما عرفت ربك؟ قال: بفسخ العزم ونقض الهم عزمت ففسخ عزمي، وهممت فنقض همي. 
8. Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad ibn Idris  said: my father said: Ibrahim ibn Hashim said, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abu `Umayr, on the authority of Hisham ibn Salim that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq  was asked, “How did you recognize your Lord?’ He  replied, “Through abolishment of decision and invalidation of ambition. My decision was abolished, and when I had an ambition it was invalidated.”
