عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ، أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُلَائِيُّ. سَمِعَ عِكْرِمَةَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَأَبَا إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيَّ، وَعَطَاءً، وَعُمَرَ بْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ. رَوَى عَنْهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، وَكَانَ يُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ، وَيَجْلِسُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ لَا يَكَادُ يَصْرِفُ بَصَرَهُ عَنْهُ، يَتَأَدَّبُ بِرَوِيَّتِهِ. وَكَانَ ثِقَةً صَالِحًا يُقَالُ: إِنَّهُ مِنَ الْأَبْدَالِ. وقَالَ: عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعِجْلِيُّ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ بِثَوْبٍ فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، اشْتَرِ هَذَا الثَّوْبَ، وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ غَزَلَهُ ضَعِيفٌ. قَالَ: فَكَانَ إِذَا جَاءَهُ إِنْسَانٌ فَعَرَضَهُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: إِنَّ صَاحِبَتَهُ أَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي غَزْلِهِ ضَعْفٌ. حَتَّى جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَاشْتَرَاهُ، وَقَالَ: قَدْ أَبْرَأْنَاكَ مِنْهُ. وقَالَ: إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ: أَقَامَ عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً صَائِمًا مَا يَعْلَمُ بِهِ أَهْلُهُ، يَأْخُذُ غَدَاهُ وَيَغْدُو إِلَى الْحَانُوتِ، فَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِغَدَائِهِ وَيَصُومُ وَأَهْلُهُ لَا يَدْرُونَ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ إِذَا حَضَرَتْهُ الرِّقَّةُ يُحَوِّلُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى الْحَائِطِ وَيَقُولُ: هَذَا الزُّكَامُ. وَإِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى أَهْلِ السُّوقِ قَالَ: مَا أَغْفَلَ هَؤُلَاءِ عَمَّا أُعِدَّ لَهُمْ. قَالَ: حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ: لَمَّا احْتَضَرَ عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْمُلَائِيُّ بَكَى. فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ: عَلَامَ تَبْكِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا؟ فَوَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ كُنْتَ مُنَغَّصَ الْعَيْشِ أَيَّامَ حَيَاتِكَ. فَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ مَا أَبْكِي عَلَى الدُّنْيَا، إِنَّمَا أَبْكِي خَوْفًا أَنْ أُحْرَمَ خَيْرَ الْآخِرَةِ. قَالَ: الْمُحَارِبِيُّ: قَالَ لِي سُفْيَانُ: عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ هُوَ الَّذِي أَدَّبَنِي، عَلَّمَنِي قِرَاءَةَ الْقُرْآنِ، وَعَلَّمَنِي الْفَرَائِضَ، فَكُنْتُ أَطْلُبُهُ فِي سُوقِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْهُ فِي سُوقِهِ وَجَدْتُهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ، إِمَّا يُصَلِّي وَإِمَّا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي الْمُصْحَفِ، كَأَنَّهُ يُبَادِرُ أُمُورًا تَفُوتُهُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَجَدْتُهُ فِي بَعْضِ مَسَاجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ فِي زَاوِيَةٍ مِنْ زَوَايَا الْمَسْجِدِ كَأَنَّهُ سَارِقٌ قَاعِدٌ يَبْكِي، فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْهُ وَجَدْتُهُ فِي الْمَقْبَرَةِ قَاعِدًا يَنُوحُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ. فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَغْلَقَ أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ أَبْوَابَهُمْ وَخَرَجُوا بِجِنَازَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَخْرَجُوهُ إِلَى الْجَبَّانَةِ وَبَرَزُوا بِسَرِيرِهِ - وَكَانَ أَوْصَى أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيُّ - فَلَمَّا تَقَدَّمَ أَبُو حَيَّانَ وَكَبَّرُوا سَمِعُوا صَائِحًا يَصِيحُ: قَدْ جَاءَ الْمُحْسِنُ، قَدْ جَاءَ الْمُحْسِنُ عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ. وَإِذَا الْبَرِّيَّةُ مَمْلُوءَةٌ مِنْ طَيْرٍ أَبْيَضَ لَمْ يُرَ عَلَى خِلْقَتِهَا وَحُسْنِهَا، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ حُسْنِهَا وَكَثْرَتِهَا. قَالَ أَبُو حَيَّانَ: مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَعْجَبُونَ؟ هَذِهِ مَلَائِكَةٌ جَاءَتْ فَشَهِدَتْ عَمْرًا. قَالَ: أَبُو خَالِدٍ - هُوَ الْأَحْمَرُ -: لَمَّا مَاتَ عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ رَأَوُا الصَّحْرَاءَ مَمْلُوءَةً رِجَالًا عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ، فَلَمَّا صُلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ وَدُفِنَ لَمْ يَرَوْا فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ أَحَدًا، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ فَقَالَ لِابْنِ شُبْرُمَةَ، وَابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى: مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تَذْكُرَا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ لِي فَقَالَا: كَانَ يَسْأَلُنَا أَنْ لَا نَذْكُرَهُ لَكَ. اخْتَلَفُوا أَيْنَ تُوُفِّيَ، فَقِيلَ: بِالْكُوفَةِ، وَقِيلَ: بِسِجِسْتَانَ. وَقِيلَ: بِالشَّامِ. وَقِيلَ: بِبَغْدَادَ. وَالْأَوَّلُ أَلْيَقُ. 780 -

Saʿīd related to me, saying: Rabāḥ took me by the hand and said: Come, O Abū Muḥammad, let us weep over the shortness of the hours while we are in this state. He said: I went out with him to the cemetery, and when he looked at the graves he cried out, then fell down unconscious. He said: By God, I sat at his head weeping, then he revived and said: What makes you weep? I said: For what I see of you. He said: Weep for yourself. Then he said: Alas for the soul, alas for the soul. Then he fell unconscious. He said: By God, I pitied him for what had befallen him, and I remained at his head until he revived. He leapt up saying: That then is a losing return, that then is a losing return. And he went on his way, and I followed him without his speaking to me until he reached his house. He entered and shut his door, and I returned to my family. Only a short while passed before he died. 778 - Ḍaygham b. Mālik, Abū Mālik the devout worshipper.

He said: More than one of his family related to me that he shouted a cry the like of which they had never heard him utter, and fell down unconscious. The old woman sat weeping at his head and saying: May my father be your ransom, you cannot bear any mention of your Lord's affair in your presence. He said: And she said to him one day: Ḍaygham. He said: At your service, mother. She said: Do you love death? He said: Yes, mother. She said: And why, my son? He said: In hope of the good that is with God.

He said: The old woman wept and Ḍaygham wept, and the people of the house gathered weeping. His mother was an Arab woman, as if from the people of the desert. 779 - ʿAmr b. Qays, Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Mulāʾī. He heard ʿIkrima, client of Ibn ʿAbbās, Abū Isḥāq al-Sabīʿī, ʿAṭāʾ, and ʿUmar b. al-Munkadir. Al-Thawrī narrated from him, and he praised him. He would sit before him gazing at him, scarcely averting his eyes from him, learning proper conduct from his deliberation. He was trustworthy and righteous; it is said he was one of the abdāl. ʿAbd Allāh al-ʿIjlī said: A woman came to ʿAmr b. Qays with a garment and said: O Abū ʿAbd Allāh, buy this garment, and know that its yarn is weak. He said: Whenever a man came to him and he offered it to him, he would say: Its owner told me that there was weakness in its yarn. Until a man came and bought it, and said: We have acquitted you of it. Isḥāq b. Khalaf said: ʿAmr b. Qays fasted for twenty years without his family knowing. He would take his morning meal and go early to his shop, then give his morning meal as charity and fast, while his family did not know. He said: When tenderness came upon him, he would turn his face to the wall and say: This is a cold. And when he looked at the people of the market, he would say: How heedless these people are of what has been prepared for them. Ḥafṣ b. Ghiyāth said: My father related to us, saying: When ʿAmr b. Qays al-Mulāʾī was dying, he wept. His companions said: For what do you weep over this world? By God, your life was embittered all the days of your life. He said: By God, I do not weep over this world; I weep only for fear that I may be deprived of the good of the Hereafter. Al-Muḥāribī said: Sufyān said to me: ʿAmr b. Qays is the one who educated me. He taught me the recitation of the Qurʾān and taught me the shares of inheritance. I used to seek him in his market, and if I did not find him in his market, I found him in his house, either praying or reciting the Qurʾān from the codex, as if he were hastening after matters that might escape him. If I did not find him in his house, I found him in one of the mosques of Kufa, in a corner of the mosque, as if he were a thief, sitting and weeping. If I did not find him, I found him in the cemetery, sitting and lamenting over himself. When he died, the people of Kufa locked their doors and went out with his funeral procession. When they brought him out to the open burial ground and brought forth his bier—and he had enjoined that Abū Ḥayyān al-Taymī pray over him—when Abū Ḥayyān came forward and they said the takbīr, they heard a caller crying: The doer of good has come, the doer of good has come, ʿAmr b. Qays. And behold, the open land was full of white birds, the like of whose form and beauty had never been seen. The people began to marvel at their beauty and abundance. Abū Ḥayyān said: At what do you marvel? These are angels who have come and witnessed ʿAmr. Abū Khālid—he is al-Aḥmar—said: When ʿAmr b. Qays died, they saw the desert full of men in white garments. When the prayer was said over him and he was buried, they saw no one in the desert. This reached Abū Jaʿfar, and he said to Ibn Shubruma and Ibn Abī Laylā: What prevented you two from mentioning this man to me? They said: He used to ask us not to mention him to you. They differed as to where he died. It is said: in Kufa; and it is said: in Sijistān; and it is said: in Syria; and it is said: in Baghdad. The first is more fitting. 780 - Hishām b. ʿUrwa b. al-Zubayr b. al-ʿAwwām, Abū al-Mundhir—and it is said: Abū ʿAbd Allāh—al-Asadī. He was born in the year 61. He saw Ibn ʿUmar, Jābir, Anas b. Mālik, Sahl b. Saʿd, and ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Zubayr. He heard his father, Ibn al-Munkadir, al-Zuhrī, and others. Ayyūb al-Sijistānī, Mālik, Ibn Jurayj, al-Thawrī, al-Layth b. Saʿd, and others narrated from him. He was trustworthy. He came to al-Manṣūr. From Hishām b. ʿUrwa: That he entered upon Abū Jaʿfar al-Manṣūr and said: O Commander of the Faithful, settle my debt for me. He said: And how much is your debt? He said: One hundred thousand. He said: You, with your merit and understanding, incur a debt of one hundred thousand while you have nothing with which to repay it? He said: O Commander of the Faithful, some of our young men came of age, and I wished to settle them, and I feared that something I disliked might spread among them, so I settled them, made houses for them, and held wedding feasts for them, trusting in God and in the Commander of the Faithful. He said: He gave him one hundred thousand, deeming it a great sum, then said: We have ordered for you ten thousand. He said: O Commander of the Faithful, give me what you have given while your soul is pleased, for I heard my father relate from the Messenger of God ﷺ that he said: "Whoever gives a gift while his soul is pleased with it, blessing is bestowed upon the giver and the recipient." He said: I am pleased of soul with it. Abū Manṣūr al-Qazzāz informed us with a chain of his from a shaykh of Quraysh, who said: Hishām b. ʿUrwa reached for al-Manṣūr's hand to kiss it, but he prevented him and said: O Ibn ʿUrwa, [we dislike that,] we honor you above it and honor it above anyone other than you. Hishām died in the presence of al-Manṣūr, and al-Manṣūr prayed over him. His death was in this year, and he was eighty-five years old. It is said: he died in the year 145. And it is said: 147. They differed as to his grave. Abū al-Ḥusayn b. al-Munādī said: Abū al-Mundhir Hishām b. ʿUrwa b. al-Zubayr b. al-ʿAwwām died in the days of the caliphate of Abū Jaʿfar in the year 146, and was buried on the western side outside the wall, near the Qutrabbul Gate. From Ṭāhir al-Daqqāq: That he heard Abū Aḥmad b. ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Khafar deny that the well-known grave of Hishām on the western side was his, and said that it was rather in al-Khayzurāniyya on the eastern side. Aḥmad said: We consider this to be correct. [In this year] Hishām b. ʿUrwa b. al-Zubayr died, and it is said in the year 147 in Shaʿbān. And ʿAwf al-Aʿrābī. And Ṭalḥa b. Yaḥyā b. Ṭalḥa b. ʿUbayd Allāh al-Taymī al-Kūfī. (And in it died Ibn al-Sāʾib al-Kalbī the genealogist).
