سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ طَرْخَانَ، أَبُو الْمُعْتَمِرِ التَّيْمِيُّ. نَزَلَ فِي التَّيْمِ فَنُسِبَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَيْسَ بِتَيْمِيٍّ. وَكَانَ ثِقَةً مِنَ الْعُبَّادِ يُصَلِّي الْغَدَاةَ بِوُضُوءِ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ، وَكَانَ هُوَ وَابْنُهُ الْمُعْتَمِرُ يَدُورَانِ بِاللَّيْلِ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ فَيُصَلِّيَانِ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ وَفِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَا. قَالَ: حَمَّادَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ: مَا أَبْقَى سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ مِنْ سَاعَةٍ يُطَاعُ اللَّهُ فِيهَا إِلَّا وَجَدْنَاهُ مُطِيعًا، إِنْ كَانَ فِي سَاعَةِ صَلَاةٍ وَجَدْنَاهُ مُصَلِّيًا، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي سَاعَةِ صَلَاةٍ وَجَدْنَاهُ إِمَّا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلَاةِ أَوْ عَائِدًا لِمَرِيضٍ أَوْ مُشَيِّعًا لِجِنَازَةٍ أَوْ قَاعِدًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يُسَبِّحُ، وَكُنَّا نَرَى أَنَّهُ لَا يُحْسِنُ أَنْ يَعْصِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ. وعن: مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُعْتَمِرَ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ يَقُولُ: لَوْلَا أَنَّكَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِي مَا حَدَّثْتُكَ عَنْ أَبِي بِهَذَا، مَكَثَ أَبِي أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا، وَيُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ بِوُضُوءِ الْعِشَاءِ، وَرُبَّمَا أَحْدَثَ الْوُضُوءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ نَوْمٍ. قَالَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ: بسنده عَنْ رَقَبَةَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَبَّ الْعِزَّةِ فِي الْمَنَامِ، فَقَالَ: وَعِزَّتِي لَأُكْرِمَنَّ مَثْوَى سُلَيْمَانَ - يَعْنِي التَّيْمِيَّ. وَبَلَغَنَا مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ عَنْ رَقَبَةَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَبَّ الْعِزَّةِ فِي النَّوْمِ فَقَالَ لِي: يَا رَقَبَةُ، وَعِزَّتِي وَجَلَالِي لَأُكْرِمَنَّ مَثْوَى سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، فَإِنَّهُ صَلَّى لِي أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً الْغَدَاةَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْعَتَمَةِ. قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَقَالَ: أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَ هَذَا؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: لَأُحَدِّثَنَّكَ بِمِائَةِ حَدِيثٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَا جِئْتَنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبِشَارَةِ. قَالَ: فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ مُدَ يْدَةٍ مَاتَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ فِي الْمَنَامِ. فَقُلْتُ: مَا فَعَلَ اللَّهُ بِكَ. قَالَ: غَفَرَ لِي وَأَدْنَانِي وَقَرَّبَنِي وَغَلَفَنِي [بِيَدِهِ]. وَقَالَ: هَكَذَا أَفْعَلُ بِأَبْنَاءِ ثَلَاثٍ وَثَمَانِينَ. أَسْنَدَ سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَعَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ أَكَابِرِ التَّابِعِينَ. وَتُوُفِّيَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَاصِرٍ بِإِسْنَادٍ لَهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ قَالَ: كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ تَكُونُ نَهَارَهَا، فَإِذَا جَنَّهَا اللَّيْلُ تُنَادِي بِصَوْتٍ حَزِينٍ: هَدَأَ اللَّيْلُ، وَاخْتَلَطَ الظَّلَامُ، وَأَوَى كُلُّ حَبِيبٍ إِلَى حَبِيبِهِ، وَخَلْوَتِي بِكَ أَيُّهَا الْمَحْبُوبُ أَنْ تُعْتِقَنِي مِنَ النَّارِ. وَفِيهَا مَاتَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ صَاحِبُ الشَّارِعَةِ ، وَهِيَ نَخْلٌ، وَأَشْعَثُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ ، وَمُجَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ . يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ، أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ الْمَدِينِيُّ. سَمِعَ مِنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَالسَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَالْقَاسِمِ، وَغَيْرِهِمْ. ثُمَّ رَوَى عَنْهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، وَمَالِكٌ، وَابْنُ جُرَيْحٍ، وَشُعْبَةُ، وَغَيْرُهُمْ. وَكَانَ فَقِيهًا ثِقَةً يَتَوَلَّى الْقَضَاءَ بِمَدِينَةِ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ فِي أَيَّامِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، أَقْدَمَهُ الْمَنْصُورُ الْعِرَاقَ وَوَلَّاهُ الْقَضَاءَ بِالْهَاشِمِيَّةِ، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُبْنَى بَغْدَادُ. وقَالَ: سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ قَالَ: كَانَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَدْ سَاءَتْ حَالُهُ، وَأَصَابَهُ ضِيقٌ شَدِيدٌ، وَرَكِبَهُ الدَّيْنُ، فَبَيْنَا هُوَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذْ أَتَاهُ كِتَابُ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ يَسْتَقْضِيهِ. قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: فَوَكَلَنِي يَحْيَى بِأَهْلِهِ وَقَالَ لِي: وَاللَّهِ مَا خَرَجْتُ وَأَنَا أَجْهَلُ شَيْئًا، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْعِرَاقَ كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ: إِنِّي كُنْتُ قُلْتُ لَكَ حِينَ خَرَجْتُ: قَدْ خَرَجْتُ وَمَا أَجْهَلُ شَيْئًا، وَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ لَأَوَّلُ خَصْمَيْنِ جَلَسَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ، فَاقْتَضَيَا بِشَيْءٍ وَاللَّهِ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ قَطُّ، فَإِذَا جَاءَكَ كِتَابِي هَذَا فَسَلْ رَبِيعَةَ وَاكْتُبْ إِلَيَّ بِمَا يَقُولُ، وَلَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّنِي كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِذَلِكَ. عَنْ وُهَيْبٍ قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا إِلَّا يَعْرِفُ وَيُنْكِرُ إِلَّا يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، وَمَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ. تُوُفِّيَ يَحْيَى بِالْهَاشِمِيَّةِ مِنَ الْأَنْبَارِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. وَقِيلَ: سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ. وَقِيلَ: سَنَةَ سِتٍّ. وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ حَجَّاجٌ الصَّوَّافُ، وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ تِيرَوَيْهِ الطَّوِيلُ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ فِي قَوْلٍ، وَقَدْ ذَكَرْنَاهُ فِي الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا، وَلَيْثٌ ابْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ عَلَى الصَّحِيحِ. حَمِيدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الطَّوِيلُ. مَوْلًى لِخُزَاعَةَ، وُلِدَ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَسِتِّينَ. حُيَيُّ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَعَافِرِيُّ، ثُمَّ الْحُبُلِّيُّ. رَوَى عَنْهُ: ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ وَغَيْرُهُ، وَآخِرُ مَنْ حَدَّثَ عَنْهُ بِمِصْرَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ. تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ.
Translation
✧ Sulaymān b. Ṭarkhān, Abū al-Muʿtamir al-Taymī. He settled among the Taym and was thus attributed to them, though he was not a Taymī. He was trustworthy, one of the devoted worshippers, performing the morning prayer with the ablution of the evening prayer. He and his son al-Muʿtamir used to roam at night among the mosques, praying in this mosque and in that mosque until morning. Ḥammād b. Salamah said: Sulaymān al-Taymī left no hour in which God could be obeyed without us finding him obedient. If it was the hour of prayer, we found him praying; and if it was not the hour of prayer, we found him either performing ablution for prayer, visiting a sick person, accompanying a funeral, or sitting in the mosque glorifying God. We used to think that he did not know how to disobey God, mighty and majestic. From Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Aʿlā who said: I heard Muʿtamir b. Sulaymān say: Were it not that you are among my family, I would not relate to you this about my father. My father remained for forty years fasting one day and breaking fast the next, praying the morning prayer with the ablution of the evening prayer, and sometimes performing ablution anew without sleep. Abū Nuʿaym said, with his chain from Raqabah who said: I saw the Lord of Might in a dream, and He said: By My might, I will surely honor the resting place of Sulaymān—meaning al-Taymī. It has reached us from another route from Raqabah who said: I saw the Lord of Might in sleep, and He said to me: O Raqabah, by My might and majesty, I will surely honor the resting place of Sulaymān al-Taymī, for he prayed to Me for forty years the morning prayer on the trace of the evening prayer. He said: So I came to Sulaymān and related it to him, and he said: Did you see this? I said: Yes. He said: I will relate to you one hundred ḥadīths from the Messenger of God ﷺ for the good tidings you have brought me. He said: Then a short while later he died, and I saw him in a dream. I said: What has God done with you? He said: He forgave me, drew me near, and brought me close, and wrapped me [with His hand]. And He said: Thus do I with the sons of eighty-three. Sulaymān al-Taymī transmitted from Anas b. Mālik and from a group of the senior Successors. He died in al-Baṣrah in this year. Fāṭimah bt. Muḥammad b. al-Munkadir. Muḥammad b. Nāṣir informed us with a chain of his from Ibrāhīm b. Muslim al-Qurashī who said: Fāṭimah bt. Muḥammad b. al-Munkadir used to pass her day, and when night enveloped her she called out in a sorrowful voice: The night has stilled, the darkness has mingled, every beloved has withdrawn to his beloved, and my solitude with You, O Beloved, is that You free me from the Fire. In this year died ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAṭiyyah, the owner of al-Shāriʿah, which is a palm grove; and Ashʿath b. Sawwār; and Mujālid b. Saʿīd. Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd b. Qays b. ʿAmr b. Suhayl b. Thaʿlabah, Abū Saʿīd al-Anṣārī al-Madanī. He heard from Anas b. Mālik, al-Sāʾib b. Yazīd, ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿĀmir b. Rabīʿah, Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab, al-Qāsim, and others. From him transmitted Hishām b. ʿUrwah, Mālik, Ibn Jurayj, Shuʿbah, and others. He was a trustworthy jurist who took charge of the judiciary in the City of the Messenger of God ﷺ during the days of al-Walīd b. ʿAbd al-Malik. Al-Manṣūr brought him to Iraq and appointed him judge in al-Hāshimiyyah, and that was before Baghdad was built. Sulaymān b. Bilāl said: Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd's condition had deteriorated, severe straitness befell him, and debt mounted upon him. While he was in that state, a letter came to him from Abū al-ʿAbbās appointing him judge. Sulaymān said: Yaḥyā entrusted me with his family and said to me: By God, I did not depart while ignorant of anything. When he arrived in Iraq, he wrote to me: I said to you when I departed that I had left while ignorant of nothing, but by God, the first two litigants who sat before me demanded something which, by God, I had never heard. When this letter of mine reaches you, ask Rabīʿah and write to me what he says, and let him not know that I wrote to you about that. From Wuhayb who said: I came to Madinah and saw no one but that he both knew and disapproved except Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd and Mālik b. Anas. Yaḥyā died in al-Hāshimiyyah of al-Anbār in this year. It is said: in year 144; and it is said: in year 146. In this year died Ḥajjāj al-Ṣawwāf, and Ḥumayd b. Tīrawayh al-Ṭawīl, and ʿAmr b. ʿUbayd according to one report—and we have mentioned him in the previous year—and Layth b. Abī Sulaym according to the sound view. Ḥamīd b. Mihrān, Abū ʿUbaydah al-Ṭawīl. A client of Khuzāʿah, born in the year 68. Ḥuyayy b. Shurayḥ, Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Maʿāfirī, then al-Ḥubullī. From him transmitted Ibn Lahīʿah and others, and the last to transmit from him in Egypt was Ibn Wahb. He died in this year.
