Then the year 153 AH began
إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَشِيطِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، وَيُكَنَّى أَبَا بَكْرٍ: كَانَ فَقِيهًا عَابِدًا رَأَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ، وَسَمِعَ مِنْهُ، وَغَزَا الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةَ فِي خِلَافَةِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فِي سَنَةِ ثَمَانٍ وَتِسْعِينَ مَعَ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ. وَرَوَى عَنْهُ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، وَرِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، وَابْنُ وَهْبٍ. تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَبُو زُرْعَةَ التُّجِيبِيُّ: رَوَى عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، وَكَانَ فَقِيهًا عَابِدًا مُجَابَ الدَّعْوَةِ. رَوَى عَنْهُ اللَّيْثُ، وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، وَابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، وَابْنُ وَهْبٍ. قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ: مَا وُصِفَ لِي أَحَدٌ فَرَأَيْتُهُ إِلَّا كَانَ دُونَ مَا وَصَفَ إِلَّا حَيْوَةَ بْنَ شُرَيْحٍ، فَإِنَّ رُؤْيَتَهُ كَانَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ صِفَتِهِ. قَالَ: خَالِدُ بْنُ الْفِرْزِ،: كَانَ حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ دَعَّاءً مِنَ الْبَكَّائِينَ، وَكَانَ ضَيِّقَ الْحَالِ جِدًّا، فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَهُوَ مُخْتَلٌّ وَحْدَهُ يَدْعُو، فَقُلْتُ: رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ، لَوْ دَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ يُوَسِّعُ عَلَيْكَ فِي مَعِيشَتِكَ؟ قَالَ: فَالْتَفَتَ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا فَلَمْ يَرَ أَحَدًا، فَأَخَذَ حَصَاةً مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا ذَهَبًا، قَالَ: فَإِذَا هِيَ وَاللَّهِ قُبَّرَةٌ فِي كَفِّهِ، مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا، قَالَ: فَرَمَى بِهَا إِلَيَّ وَقَالَ: لَا خَيْرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا الْآخِرَةَ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ: هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُصْلِحُ عِبَادَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَصْنَعُ بِهَا، قَالَ: اسْتَنْفِقْهَا، فَهَبَتْهُ وَاللَّهِ أَنْ أَرَادَهُ. قَالَ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ الْيَشْكُرِيُّ،: لَمَّا قَدِمَ أَبُو عَوْنٍ مِصْرَ وَقَتَلَ بِهَا مَنْ قَتَلَ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى الْبَلَدِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى حَيْوَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ: ائْتِنِي، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّا مَعْشَرَ الْمُلُوكِ لَا نُعْصَى، فَمَنْ عَصَانَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، قَدْ وَلَّيْتُكَ الْقَضَاءَ، [قَالَ]: أَوَآمُرَ أَهْلِي: قَالَ: اذْهَبْ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، فَغَسَلَ رَأْسَهُ وَلِحْيَتَهُ وَنَالَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الطِّيبِ، وَلَبِسَ أَنْظَفَ مَا قَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ قَالَ: ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: مَنْ جَعَلَ السَّحَرَةَ أَوْلَى بِمَا قَالُوا مِنَّا، اقْضِ مَا أَنْتَ قَاضٍ لَسْتُ أَتَوَلَّى لَكَ شَيْئًا. قَالَ: فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَرَجَعَ. تُوُفِّيَ حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْمُضَرِّبِ، أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ، مَوْلَى بَجِيلَةَ: حَدَّثَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَأَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيِّ، وَأَبِي زُهَيْرٍ الْمَكِّيِّ، وَعَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، وَغَيْرِهِمْ. رَوَى عَنْهُ أَبُو يُوسُفَ الْقَاضِي، وَشَبَابَةُ. وَوَلِيَ الْقَضَاءَ بِبَغْدَادَ فِي خِلَافَةِ الْمَنْصُورِ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ الْمَنْصُورُ إِلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ مَنْ يَقْدَمُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ وَلَّاهُ الْقَضَاءَ وَضَمَّ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عُمَارَةَ إِلَى الْمَهْدِيِّ. قَالَ: جَبَلَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ،: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ لِي عَلَى مِسْعَرِ بْنِ كِدَامٍ سَبْعَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ مِنْ ثَمَنِ دَقِيقٍ وَغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ، وَقَدْ مَطَلَنِي، وَيَقُولُ: لَيْسَ عِنْدِي الْيَوْمَ، فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ الْحَسَنَ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ، وَقَالَ: أَعْطِ مِسْعَرًا كُلَّمَا أَرَادَ، وَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ فَتَعَالَ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى أُعْطِيَكَ. وَقَدْ قَدَحُوا فِي الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ، وَكَانَ شُعْبَةُ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمَدِينِيُّ: أَمْرُهُ أَبْيَنُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قِيلَ لَهُ: كَانَ يَغْلَطُ، قَالَ: وَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ يَغْلَطُ، وَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَضَعُ الْحَدِيثَ. وَقَالَ يَحْيَى: لَا يُكْتَبُ حَدِيثُهُ. وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ، وَمُسْلِمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ: هُوَ مَتْرُوكُ الْحَدِيثِ. وَقَالَ الْفَلَّاسُ: هُوَ رَجُلٌ صَدُوقٌ صَالِحٌ كَثِيرُ الْوَهْمِ مَتْرُوكُ الْحَدِيثِ. وَقَالَ السَّاجِيُّ: أَجْمَعَ أَهْلُ الْحَدِيثِ عَلَى تَرْكِ حَدِيثِهِ. وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ: كُنْتُ إِذَا سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عُمَارَةَ يَرْوِي عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَعَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ جَعَلْتُ إِصْبَعِي فِي أُذُنِي. تُوُفِّيَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. شَقِيقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْبَلْخِيُّ: كَانَ ذَا ثَرْوَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا وَتَزَهَّدَ، وَصَحِبَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ أَدْهَمَ. قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ: كَانَ لِجَدِّي ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ قَرْيَةٍ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كَفَنٌ يُكَفَّنُ فِيهِ، قُدِّمَ ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَثِيَابُهُ وَسَيْفُهُ إِلَى السَّاعَةِ مُعَلَّقٌ يَتَبَرَّكُونَ بِهِ، وَكَانَ قَدْ دَخَلَ إِلَى بِلَادِ التُّرْكِ لِتِجَارَةٍ وَهُوَ حَدَثٌ، فَدَخَلَ إِلَى أَصْنَامِهِمْ فَقَالَ لِعَامِلِهِمْ: إِنَّ هَذَا الَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ بَاطِلٌ، وَلِهَذَا الْخَلْقِ خَالِقٌ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ، رَازِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: لَيْسَ يُوَافِقُ قَوْلُكَ فِعْلَكَ، فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ؟ قَالَ: زَعَمْتَ أَنَّ لَكَ خَالِقًا قَادِرًا وَقَدْ تَعَنَّيْتَ إِلَى هَاهُنَا لِطَلَبِ الرِّزْقِ، قَالَ شَقِيقٌ: فَكَانَ سَبَبُ زُهْدِي كَلَامَ التُّرْكِيِّ، فَرَجَعَ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِجَمِيعِ مَالِهِ وَطَلَبَ الْعِلْمَ. قَالَ: حَاتِمٌ الْأَصَمُّ: كُنَّا مَعَ شَقِيقٍ الْبَلْخِيِّ وَنَحْنُ مُصَافُّو التُّرْكِ فِي يَوْمٍ لَا أَرَى فِيهِ إِلَّا رُءُوسًا تُبْدَرُ وَسُيُوفًا تَقْطَعُ، فَقَالَ لِي شَقِيقٌ وَنَحْنُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَّيْنِ: يَا حَاتِمُ، كَيْفَ تَرَى نَفْسَكَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ؟ تَرَاهَا مِثْلَهَا فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي زُفَّتْ إِلَيْكَ امْرَأَتُكَ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا وَاللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: لَكِنِّي وَاللَّهِ أَرَى نَفْسِي فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ مِثْلَهَا فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي زُفَّتْ فِيهَا امْرَأَتِي. قَالَ: ثُمَّ نَامَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَّيْنِ وَدَرَقَتُهُ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ غَطِيطَهُ. عُمَيْرَةُ بْنُ أَبِي نَاجِيَةَ، أَبُو يَحْيَى: كَانَ عَابِدًا نَاسِكًا دَائِمَ الْبُكَاءِ، وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ رُومِيًّا. [وَتُوَفِّيَ عُمَيُرَةُ فِي هَذِهِ السُّنَّةِ]. مَعْمَرُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، أَبُو عُرْوَةَ الْبَصْرِيُّ: سَكَنَ الْيَمَنَ وَقَالَ: طَلَبْتُ الْعِلْمَ يَوْمَ مَاتَ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ، وَسَمِعْتُ مِنْ قَتَادَةَ وَأَنَا ابْنُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، فَمَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ فِي تِلْكَ السِّنِينَ إِلَّا وَكَأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي صَدْرِي. وَسَمِعَ مِنَ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِ. وَرَوَى عَنْهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ. وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً. مُوسَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: كَانَ مِنْ وُجُوهِ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَأَفَاضِلِهِمْ، وَهُوَ أَخُو مُحَمَّدٍ، وَجَعْفَرٍ. قَدِمَ بَغْدَادَ فِي خِلَافَةِ الْمَنْصُورِ، فَتُوُفِّيَ بِهَا فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. هِشَامُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ - وَقِيلَ: أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - الْجُرَشِيُّ الشَّامِيُّ: سَمِعَ عَطَاءَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، وَنَافِعًا، وَمَكْحُولًا. رَوَى عَنْهُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، وَوَكِيعٌ، وَشَبَابَةُ، نَزَلَ بَغْدَادَ وَحَدَّثَ بِهَا، وَوَلَّاهُ الْمَنْصُورُ بَيْتَ الْمَالِ، وَكَانَ ثِقَةً مِنْ خِيَارِ النَّاسِ. وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَاسْمُهُ سَنْبَرٌ، الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ، مَوْلًى لِبَنِي سَدُوسٍ: كَانَ شَدِيدَ الْخَوْفِ [مِنَ اللَّهِ]، كَثِيرَ الْبُكَاءِ. قَالَ: سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ،: كَانَ هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَظْلَمَ بَصَرُهُ مِنْ طُولِ الْبُكَاءِ، فَكُنْتَ تَرَاهُ يُبْصِرُ إِلَيْكَ وَلَا يَعْرِفُكَ حَتَّى تُكَلِّمَهُ. تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، وَقِيلَ: سَنَةَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ وَمِائَةٍ. وُهَيْبُ بْنُ الْوَرْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْوَرْدِ، مَوْلَى بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ، يُكَنَّى أَبَا أُمَيَّةَ، وَقِيلَ: أَبَا عُثْمَانَ: وَكَانَ اسْمُهُ عَبْدَ الْوَهَّابِ، فَصُغِّرَ فَقِيلَ وُهَيْبٌ. أَدْرَكَ عَطَاءً، وَمَنْصُورَ بْنَ زَاذَانَ، وَكَانَ شَدِيدَ الْوَرَعِ كَثِيرَ التَّعَبُّدِ، وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ يَقُولُ: قُومُوا بِنَا إِلَى الطَّبِيبِ، يَعْنِي وُهَيْبًا. قَالَ قَادِمٌ الدَّيْلَمِيُّ: قِيلَ لِوُهَيْبِ بْنِ الْوَرْدِ: أَلَا تَشْرَبُ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ، قَالَ: بِأَيِّ دَلْوٍ. قَالَ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ: وَسَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْوَهَّابِ الْوَرَّاقَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ شُعَيْبُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ: مَا احْتَمَلُوا لِأَحَدٍ مَا احْتَمَلُوا لِوُهَيْبٍ، كَانَ يَشْرَبُ بِدَلْوِهِ. قَالَ: ابْنُ عِيسَى،: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ يَقُولُ: مَا جَلَسْتُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ كَانَ أَنْفَعَ لِي مُجَالَسَةً مِنْ وُهَيْبٍ، وَكَانَ لَا يَأْكُلُ مِنَ الْفَوَاكِهِ، وَكَانَ إِذَا انْقَضَتِ السَّنَةُ وَذَهَبَتِ الْفَوَاكِهُ يَكْشِفُ عَنْ بَطْنِهِ وَيَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: يَا وُهَيْبُ مَا أَرَى بِكَ بَأْسًا، مَا أَرَى تَرْكَكَ الْفَوَاكِهَ ضَرَّكَ شَيْئًا. قَالَ: بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ: كَانَ وُهَيْبُ بْنُ الْوَرْدِ تَئِنُّ خُضْرَةُ الْبَقْلِ مِنْ بَطْنِهِ مِنَ الْهُزَالِ. قَالَ ابْنُ مَخْلَدٍ: وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْفَتْحِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ بِشْرًا يَقُولُ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ وُهَيْبًا كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِقُرْصَيْهِ بَكَى حَتَّى يُبِلَّهُمَا. قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ، قَالَ: حَلَفَ وُهَيْبُ بْنُ الْوَرْدِ أَلَّا يَرَاهُ اللَّهُ ضَاحِكًا وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ مَا يَأْتِي بِهِ رُسُلُ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: فَسَمِعُوهُ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ: وَفَيْتَ لِي وَلَمْ أَفِ لَكَ. تُوُفِّيَ وُهَيْبٌ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ عُبَيْدُ ابْنُ بِنْتِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى قَاضِي الْكُوفَةِ، فَاسْتُقْضِيَ [ مَكَانَهُ ] شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّخَعِيُّ. وَفِيهَا مَاتَ هِشَامُ بْنُ الْغَازِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ الْجُرَشِيُّ، ( وَقِيلَ: سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَخَمْسِينَ، وَقِيلَ: تِسْعٍ وَخَمْسِينَ ). وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ. وَثَوْرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ. وَعَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ. وَالضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ أَخِي حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ. وَفِطْرُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ الْكُوفِيُّ. فِطْرٌ: بِالْفَاءِ وَالرَّاءِ الْمُهْمَلَةِ. ( وَالْجُرَشِيُّ: بِضَمِّ الْجِيمِ، وَبِالشِّينِ الْمُعْجَمَةِ ).
Translation
✧ Ibrāhīm b. Nashīṭ b. Yūsuf, whose kunyah is Abū Bakr: He was a jurist and a devoted worshipper. He saw ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Ḥārith and heard from him. He took part in the expedition against Constantinople during the caliphate of al-Walīd b. ʿAbd al-Malik in the year ninety-eight, together with Maslamah b. ʿAbd al-Malik. Al-Layth b. Saʿd, Ibn al-Mubārak, Rishdīn b. Saʿd, and Ibn Wahb narrated from him. He died in this year. Ḥaywah b. Shurayḥ b. Ṣafwān b. Mālik, Abū Zurʿah al-Tujībī: He narrated from ʿUqbah b. Muslim, and he was a jurist and a devoted worshipper whose supplication was answered. Al-Layth, Ibn al-Mubārak, Ibn Lahīʿah, and Ibn Wahb narrated from him. Ibn al-Mubārak said: No one was described to me but that when I saw him he fell short of the description, except Ḥaywah b. Shurayḥ, for seeing him was greater than his description. Khālid b. al-Firz said: Ḥaywah b. Shurayḥ was a constant supplicator, one of the weepers, and he was in very straitened circumstances. One day I sat with him while he was alone, absorbed in supplication. I said: May God have mercy on you; would you not supplicate God to expand your livelihood? He said: Then he looked right and left and saw no one, so he took a pebble from the ground and said: O God, make it gold. He said: And, by God, there it was, an ingot of gold in his palm; I have never seen anything more beautiful than it. He said: Then he tossed it to me and said: There is no good in this world except the Hereafter. Then he turned to me and said: He knows best what is right for His servants. I said: What shall I do with it? He said: Spend it. And, by God, I was awed by what he wanted. Muḥammad b. Bashshār al-Yashkurī said: When Abū ʿAwn came to Egypt and killed those he killed and took control of the country, he sent to Ḥaywah b. Shurayḥ: Come to me. He said: So he came and entered upon him, and he said: We are a company of kings; we are not to be disobeyed. Whoever disobeys us we kill. I have appointed you qāḍī. [He said:] Or shall I instruct my family? He said: Go. He said: So he went to his family, washed his head and beard, applied some perfume, put on the cleanest clothes he could find, then came and entered upon him and said: Who has made sorcerers more worthy of what they say than us? Judge what you are to judge; I will not take charge of anything for you. He said: So he gave him permission, and he returned. Ḥaywah b. Shurayḥ died in this year. Al-Ḥasan b. ʿUmārah b. al-Muḍarrib, Abū Muḥammad al-Kūfī, client of Bajīlah: He related from al-Zuhrī, Abū Isḥāq al-Sabīʿī, Abū Zuhayr al-Makkī, ʿAmr b. Dīnār, and others. Abū Yūsuf al-Qāḍī and Shabābah narrated from him. He served as qāḍī in Baghdad during the caliphate of al-Manṣūr. Then al-Manṣūr sent for ʿUbayd Allāh b. Muḥammad b. Ṣafwān in Makkah, someone to bring him. When he arrived, he appointed him qāḍī and attached al-Ḥasan b. ʿUmārah to al-Mahdī. Jabalah b. Sulaymān said: A man came to al-Ḥasan b. ʿUmārah and said: Misʿar b. Kidām owes me seven hundred dirhams for the price of flour and other things, and he has delayed payment, saying: I have nothing today. So al-Ḥasan b. ʿUmārah paid it to him and said: Give Misʿar whenever he wants, and when something accumulates for you against him, come to me and I will pay you. They have impugned al-Ḥasan b. ʿUmārah, and Shuʿbah testified that he was a liar. Ibn al-Madīnī said: His affair is clearer than that. It was said to him: He used to make mistakes. He said: And what was it he used to make mistakes in? He held that he used to fabricate ḥadīth. Yaḥyā said: His ḥadīth is not to be written. Aḥmad and Muslim b. al-Ḥajjāj said: He is matrūk al-ḥadīth (abandoned in ḥadīth). Al-Fallās said: He is a truthful, righteous man, prone to much error, abandoned in ḥadīth. Al-Sājī said: The people of ḥadīth are agreed on abandoning his ḥadīth. Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah said: When I heard al-Ḥasan b. ʿUmārah narrating from al-Zuhrī and ʿAmr b. Dīnār, I put my finger in my ear. Al-Ḥasan b. ʿUmārah died in this year. Shaqīq b. Ibrāhīm, Abū ʿAlī al-Balkhī: He possessed great wealth, gave it up, became ascetic, and accompanied Ibrāhīm b. Adham. ʿAlī b. Muḥammad b. Shaqīq said: My grandfather had three hundred villages, yet he had no shroud in which to be shrouded. He put all that before him, and his clothes and his sword are hung up to this day for people to seek blessing from them. He had entered the lands of the Turks for trade while still a youth, and he entered their idol temple and said to their keeper: This which you are upon is false, and this creation has a Creator unlike anything, the Provider of everything. The keeper said to him: Your words do not match your deeds. He said: How so? He said: You claim that you have a powerful Creator, yet you have taken the trouble to come here seeking provision. Shaqīq said: That Turk's speech was the cause of my asceticism. So he returned, gave away all his wealth in charity, and sought knowledge. Ḥātim al-Aṣamm said: We were with Shaqīq al-Balkhī, facing the Turks in battle on a day when I saw nothing but heads being struck off and swords cutting. Shaqīq said to me while we were between the two lines: Ḥātim, how do you find yourself on this day? Do you see it as the night when your wife was led to you? I said: No, by God. He said: But I, by God, find myself on this day as on the night when my wife was led to me. He said: Then he slept between the two lines with his shield under his head until I heard him snoring. ʿUmayrah b. Abī Nājiyah, Abū Yaḥyā: He was a devoted worshipper, an ascetic, constantly weeping, and his father was a Byzantine. [And ʿUmayrah died in this year]. Maʿmar b. Rāshid, Abū ʿUrwah al-Baṣrī: He settled in Yemen and said: I sought knowledge the day al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī died, and I heard from Qatādah when I was fourteen years old. There is nothing I heard in those years but it is as if written in my chest. He heard from al-Zuhrī and others. Al-Thawrī, Ibn ʿUyaynah, and Ibn al-Mubārak narrated from him. He died in this year at the age of fifty-eight. Mūsā b. Sulaymān b. ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbbās: He was one of the notables of Banū Hāshim and their most virtuous, and he was the brother of Muḥammad and Jaʿfar. He came to Baghdad during the caliphate of al-Manṣūr and died there in this year. Hishām b. al-ʿAlāʾ b. Rabīʿah, Abū al-ʿAbbās—or it is said Abū ʿAbd Allāh—al-Jurashī al-Shāmī: He heard from ʿAṭāʾ b. Abī Rabāḥ, Nāfiʿ, and Makḥūl. Ibn al-Mubārak, Wakīʿ, and Shabābah narrated from him. He settled in Baghdad and related ḥadīth there, and al-Manṣūr appointed him over the treasury. He was trustworthy, one of the best of people. He died in this year. Hishām b. Abī ʿAbd Allāh, whose name was Sanbar, al-Dastuwāʾī, client of Banū Sadūs: He was intense in fear [of God], given to much weeping. Saʿīd b. ʿĀmir said: Hishām b. Abī ʿAbd Allāh's eyesight had darkened from prolonged weeping. You would see him looking at you and not recognize you until you spoke to him. He died in this year, though it is also said in the year one hundred fifty-two. Wuhayb b. al-Ward b. Abī al-Ward, client of Banū Makhzūm, whose kunyah is Abū Umayyah, or it is said Abū ʿUthmān: His name was ʿAbd al-Wahhāb, and it was made diminutive, so he was called Wuhayb. He met ʿAṭāʾ and Manṣūr b. Zādhān. He was extremely scrupulous and much given to worship. When Sufyān al-Thawrī finished his ḥadīth session he would say: Let us go to the physician, meaning Wuhayb. Qādim al-Daylamī said: It was said to Wuhayb b. al-Ward: Will you not drink from Zamzam? He said: With which bucket? Al-Marwazī said: I heard ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Warrāq say: Shuʿayb b. Ḥarb said: They did not put up with anyone what they put up with Wuhayb; he used to drink with his own bucket. Ibn ʿĪsā said: I heard Ibn al-Mubārak say: I never sat with anyone whose company was more beneficial to me than Wuhayb's. He did not eat fruit, and when the year ended and fruit was gone he would uncover his belly and look at it and say: Wuhayb, I see no harm in you; I see that your abstaining from fruit has not harmed you at all. Bishr b. al-Ḥārith said: Wuhayb b. al-Ward's belly would groan from the greenness of vegetables because of his emaciation. Ibn Makhlad said: Aḥmad b. al-Fatḥ narrated to us, saying: I heard Bishr say: It reached me that when Wuhayb was brought his two loaves he would weep until he moistened them. Abū Bakr b. ʿUbayd said: Muḥammad b. Yazīd b. Khunays narrated to me, saying: Wuhayb b. al-Ward swore that neither God nor any of His creatures would see him laughing until he knew what God's messengers would bring. He said: They heard him say at death: You have been faithful to me and I have not been faithful to You. Wuhayb died in this year. In this year also died ʿUbayd, the son of the daughter of Ibn Abī Laylā, qāḍī of Kufa, and Sharīk b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Nakhaʿī was appointed qāḍī in his place. In it died Hishām b. al-Ghāz b. Rabīʿah al-Jurashī—though it is said in the year fifty-six, and it is said fifty-nine—and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Yazīd b. Jābir, Thawr b. Zayd, and ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. Jaʿfar b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī. And al-Ḍaḥḥāk b. ʿUthmān b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Khālid b. Ḥizām, from the descendants of the brother of Ḥakīm b. Ḥizām, and Fiṭr b. Khalīfah al-Kūfī. Fiṭr: with fāʾ and unpointed rāʾ. (Al-Jurashī: with ḍammah on the jīm, and with pointed shīn.)
