الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ  ، أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْجَعْفَرِيُّ وَاسْمُ جَعْفَرٍ: عَجْلَانُ. أَسْنَدَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، وَثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، وَغَيْرِهِمَا. عَنْ أَبُو عِمْرَانَ التَّمَّارُ قَالَ: غَدَوْتُ يَوْمًا قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ الْجَفْرِيِّ، فَإِذَا بَابُ الْمَسْجِدِ مُغْلَقٌ، وَإِذَا حَسَنٌ جَالِسٌ يَدْعُو، وَإِذَا ضَجَّةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَجَمَاعَةٌ يُؤَمِّنُونَ عَلَى دُعَائِهِ فَقَامَ فَأَذَّنَ وَفَتَحَ بَابَ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَدَخَلْتُ، فَلَمْ أَرَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَحَدًا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ وَتَفَرَّقَ عَنْهُ النَّاسُ، قُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ رَأَيْتُ عَجَبًا، قَالَ: وَمَا رَأَيْتَ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي رَأَيْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ، قَالَ: أُولَئِكَ جِنٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ نَصِيبِينَ يَجِيئُونَ فَيَشْهَدُونَ مَعِي خَتْمَ الْقُرْآنِ كُلَّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ. زَمْعَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْمَكِّيُّ زَمْعَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْمَكِّيُّ. رَوَى عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ وَهْرَامٍ، وَابْنِ طَاوُوسٍ. وَرَوَى عَنْهُ: وَكِيعٌ. عَنْ مُؤَمَّلِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ قَالَ: كَانَ زَمْعَةُ نَازِلًا عِنْدَنَا، وَكَانَ لَهُ أَهْلٌ وَبَنَاتٌ، وَكَانَ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا، فَإِذَا كَانَ السَّحَرُ نَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: أَيُّهَا الرَّكْبُ الْمُعَرِّسُونَ، أَكُلَّ هَذَا اللَّيْلِ تَرْقُدُونَ، أَلَا تَقُومُونَ، فَتَرْحَلُونَ. فَيُسْمَعُ مِنْ هَاهُنَا بَاكٍ، وَمِنْ هَاهُنَا دَاعٍ، وَمِنْ هَاهُنَا قَارِئٌ، وَمِنْ هَاهُنَا مُتَوَضِّئٌ. فَإِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ نَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ يَحْمَدُ الْقَوْمُ السُّرَى. سُلَيْمَانُ الْخَوَّاصُ سُلَيْمَانُ الْخَوَّاصُ  . كَانَ مِنَ الْمُتَعَبِّدِينَ الْفُطَنَاءِ قَالَ: يَزِيدَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ دَخَلَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ الْخَوَّاصِ فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَرَاكَ فِي ظُلْمَةٍ، قَالَ: ظُلْمَةُ الْقَبْرِ أَشَدُّ مِنْ هَذَا. قَالَ: أَرَاكَ وَحْدَكَ. قَالَ: إِنَّ لِلصَّاحِبِ عَلَى الصَّاحِبِ حَقًّا فَخِفْتُ أَنْ لَا أَقُومَ بِحَقِّ صَاحِبِي، قَالَ: فَأَخْرَجَ سَعِيدٌ صُرَّةً فِيهَا شَيْءٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: تُنْفِقُ هَذَا، وَأَنَا أُحِلُّهَا لَكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، إِنَّهُ حَلَالٌ. قَالَ: لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ مَا تَرَى مَا النَّاسُ فِيهِ دَعْوَةٌ. قَالَ: فَصَرَخَ سُلَيْمَانُ صَرْخَةً، ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَا لَكَ يَا سَعِيدُ، فَتَنْتَنِي بِالدُّنْيَا وَتَفْتِنِّي بِالدِّينِ، مَا لِي وَلِلدُّعَاءِ مَنْ أَنَا، فَخَرَجَ سَعِيدٌ، فَأَخْبَرَ بِمَا كَانَ الْأَوْزَاعِيَّ، فَقَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ: دَعُوا سُلَيْمَانَ، لَوْ كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ كَانَ مَثَلًا. شُعْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ الْوَرْدِ شُعْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ الْوَرْدِ  ، أَبُو بِسْطَامٍ الْعَتَكِيُّ مَوْلَاهُمْ، وَاسِطِيُّ الْأَصْلِ بَصْرِيُّ الدَّارِ. وُلِدَ بِوَاسِطَ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَمِائَتَيْنِ، وَنَشَأَ بِهَا، وَانْتَقَلَ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ، وَرَأَى الْحَسَنَ، وَابْنَ سِيرِينَ، وَسَمِعَ قَتَادَةَ، وَيُونُسَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ، وَأَيُّوبَ السِّجِسْتَانِيَّ، وَخَالِدًا الْحَذَّاءَ، وَعَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ، وَأَبَا إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيَّ، وَطَلْحَةَ بْنَ مُصَرِّفٍ، وَمَنْصُورَ بْنَ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، وَالْأَعْمَشَ وَغَيْرَهُمْ. وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ: أَيُّوبُ، وَالْأَعْمَشُ، وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، وَابْنُ الْمَهْدِيِّ، وَكَانَ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ بِعَشْرِ سِنِينَ، وَكَانَ عَالِمًا حَافِظًا لِلْحَدِيثِ صَدُوقًا زَاهِدًا مُتَعَبِّدًا، عَارِفًا بِالشِّعْرِ. قَالَ الْأَصْمَعِيُّ: لَمْ نَرَ أَحَدًا أَعْلَمَ بِالشِّعْرِ مِنْ شُعْبَةَ. عَنْ قَرَّارُ أَبُو نُوحٍ قَالَ: رَأَى عَلَيَّ شُعْبَةُ قَمِيصًا فَقَالَ: بِكَمْ أَخَذْتَ هَذَا؟ قُلْتُ: بِثَمَانِيَةِ دَرَاهِمَ. قَالَ: وَيْحَكَ، أَمَا تَتَّقِي اللَّهَ تَلْبَسُ قَمِيصًا بِثَمَانِيَةِ دَرَاهِمَ ؟ أَلَا اشْتَرَيْتَ قَمِيصًا بِأَرْبَعَةِ دَرَاهِمَ، وَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِأَرْبَعَةٍ. قَالَ الضُّبَعِيُّ: وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحِيرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ يَقُولُ: خَرَجَ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ يَوْمًا فَقَوَّمُوا ثِيَابَهُ وَدَابَّتَهُ وَخَاتَمَهُ وَمَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ إِلَى عِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا، فَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ: خَرَجَ شُعْبَةُ يَوْمًا فَقَوَّمُوا حِمَارَهُ وَسَرْجَهُ وَلِجَامَهُ بِثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ دِرْهَمًا إِلَى عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَمًا. عَنْ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْفَلَّاسُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَحْرٍ الْبَكْرَاوِيَّ يَقُولُ: مَا رَأَيْتُ أَعْبَدَ لِلَّهِ مِنْ شُعْبَةَ، لَقَدْ عَبَدَ اللَّهَ حَتَّى جَفَّ جِلْدُهُ عَلَى عَظْمِهِ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمَا لَحْمٌ. قَالَ مُؤَلِّفُ الْكِتَابِ: كَانَ شُعْبَةُ مُتَشَاغِلًا بِالْعِلْمِ، لَا يَكْسِبُ شَيْئًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، وَكَانَ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ يَقُومُونَ بِأُمُورِهِ، فَاشْتَرَى أَحَدُ إِخْوَتِهِ طَعَامًا مِنَ السُّلْطَانِ فَخَسِرَ فِيهِ، فَقَدِمَ شُعْبَةُ عَلَى الْمَهْدِيِّ فِي ذَلِكَ فَعَابَهُ بِالدُّخُولِ عَلَيْهِمْ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، فَقَالَ شُعْبَةُ: هُوَ لَمْ يُحْبَسْ أَخُوهُ. وَعَنْ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ قَالَ: اشْتَرَى أَخٌ لِشُعْبَةَ مِنْ طَعَامِ السُّلْطَانِ فَخَسِرَ هُوَ وَشُرَكَاؤُهُ، فَحُبِسَ عَلَى سِتَّةِ آلَافِ دِينَارٍ تَخُصُّهُ، فَخَرَجَ شُعْبَةُ إِلَى الْمَهْدِيِّ لِيُكَلِّمَهُ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْشَدَنِي قَتَادَةُ وَسِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ لِأُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ: أَأَذْكُرُ حَاجَتِي أَمْ قَدْ كَفَانِي حَيَاؤُكَ إِنَّ شِيمَتَكَ الْحَيَاءُ     كَرِيمٌ لَا يُغَيِّرُهُ صَبَاحٌ عَنِ الْخُلُقِ الْكَرِيمِ وَلَا مَسَاءُ     فَأَرْضُكَ أَرْضُ مَكْرُمَةٍ بَنَتْهُا بَنُو تَيْمٍ وَأَنْتَ لَهُمْ سَمَاءُ فَقَالَ: لَا يَا أَبَا بِسْطَامٍ، لَا تَذْكُرْهَا، قَدْ عَرَفْنَاهَا وَقَضَيْنَاهَا لَكَ، ادْفَعُوا إِلَيْهِ أَخَاهُ، وَلَا تُلْزِمُوهُ شَيْئًا. وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ السَّرَّاجُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِنَا يَقُولُ: وَهَبَ الْمَهْدِيُّ لِشُعْبَةَ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَسَمَهَا، وَأَقْطَعَهُ أَلْفَ جَرِيبٍ بِالْبَصْرَةِ، فَقَدِمَ الْبَصْرَةَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا يَطِيبُ لَهُ فَتَرَكَهَا وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ. تُوُفِّيَ شُعْبَةُ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَبْعٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً. عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ الْجُمَحِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ الْجُمَحِيُّ  . وَالِي الْمَدِينَةِ. تُوُفِّيَ فَوَلِي مَكَانَهُ زُفَرُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ. عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الْهُذَلِيُّ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الْهُذَلِيُّ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ  . سَمِعَ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ كُهَيْلٍ وَعَاصِمَ بْنَ بَهْدَلَةَ وَغَيْرَهُمْ. رَوَى عَنْهُ: الثَّوْرِيُّ، وَشُعْبَةُ، وَابْنُ عُتْبَةَ، وَوَكِيعٌ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ وَغَيْرُهُمْ. قَالَ الْأَثْرَمُ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ: أَيُّهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ: كِلَاهُمَا ثِقَةٌ، الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَكْثَرُهُمَا حَدِيثًا، قِيلَ: لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قِيلَ لَهُ: هُمَا مِنْ وَلَدِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَوْ مِنْ وَلَدِ عُتْبَةَ؟ فَقَالَ: هُمَا مِنْ وَلَدِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَابْنُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، فَقَالَ: ابْنُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ. قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلْمَسْعُودِيِّ: إِنَّكَ مِنْ وَلَدِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَغَضِبَ، وَقَالَ: أَنَا مِنْ وَلَدِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ. وَقَدِ اتَّفَقُوا عَلَى أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ ثِقَةٌ، وَإِنَّمَا ذَكَرُوا أَنَّهُ اخْتَلَطَ فِي آخِرِ عُمْرِهِ. تُوُفِّيَ سَنَةَ سِتِّينَ، وَقِيلَ: سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَسِتِّينَ، وَالْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ. وَمِمَّنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْأَعْيَانِ: الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ صُبَيْحٍ، وَسُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، أَحَدُ أَصْحَابِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَفِيهَا مَاتَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ نُصَيْرٍ الطَّائِيُّ الزَّاهِدُ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَبِي عَامِرٍ، عَمُّ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ الْفَقِيهِ، كُنْيَتُهُ أَبُو مَالِكٍ، وَكَانُوا أَرْبَعَةَ إِخْوَةٍ، أَكْبَرُهُمْ أَنَسٌ وَالِدُ مَالِكٍ، ثُمَّ أُوَيْسٌ جَدُّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُوَيْسٍ، ثُمَّ نَافِعٌ، ثُمَّ الرَّبِيعُ. وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ خَلِيفَةُ بْنُ خَيَّاطٍ الْعُصْفُرِيُّ اللَّيْثِيُّ، وَهُوَ جَدُّ خَلِيفَةَ بْنِ خَيَّاطٍ. ( خَيَّاطٌ بِالْخَاءِ الْمُعْجَمَةِ، وَبِالْيَاءِ الْمُثَنَّاةِ مِنْ تَحْتٍ ) وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْبَصْرِيُّ الْفُرْهُودِيُّ النَّحْوِيُّ، الْإِمَامُ الْمَشْهُورُ فِي النَّحْوِ، أُسْتَاذُ سِيبَوَيْهِ.

Translation

✧ Al-Ḥasan b. Abī Jaʿfar Al-Ḥasan b. Abī Jaʿfar, Abū Saʿīd al-Jaʿfarī, and Jaʿfar's name is ʿAjlān. He transmitted with a chain of narration from Abū al-Zubayr, Thābit al-Bunānī, and others besides them. On the authority of Abū ʿImrān al-Tammār, who said: I went early one day before dawn to the mosque of al-Jaʿfarī, and behold, the door of the mosque was locked, and behold, Ḥasan was sitting supplicating, and behold, there was a clamor in the mosque and a group saying “āmīn” to his supplication. Then he rose, gave the call to prayer, and opened the door of the mosque. I entered, but I saw no one in the mosque. When morning came and the people had dispersed from him, I said to him: O Abū Saʿīd, by God, I saw something astonishing. He said: And what did you see? So I informed him of what I had seen and heard. He said: Those were jinn from the people of Naṣībīn who come and attend the completion of the Qurʾān with me every Friday night. Zamʿah b. Ṣāliḥ al-Makkī Zamʿah b. Ṣāliḥ al-Makkī. He narrated from Salamah b. Wahrām and Ibn Ṭāwūs. And Wakīʿ narrated from him. On the authority of Muʾammal b. Ismāʿīl, who said: Al-Qāsim b. Rāshid al-Shaybānī narrated to us, saying: Zamʿah was staying among us, and he had a wife and daughters. He used to stand and pray long into the night, and when the pre-dawn time came, he called out at the top of his voice: O riders who have halted for the night, do you sleep through all this night? Will you not arise, then depart? Then one would hear from here a weeper, from there a supplicant, from there a reciter, and from there one performing ablution. And when dawn broke, he called out at the top of his voice: At morning the people praise the night journey. Sulaymān al-Khawwāṣ Sulaymān al-Khawwāṣ. He was among the discerning devotees. He said: Yazīd b. Saʿīd — Saʿīd b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz entered upon Sulaymān al-Khawwāṣ and said to him: I see you in darkness. He said: The darkness of the grave is more severe than this. He said: I see you alone. He said: A companion has a right over his companion, and I feared that I would not fulfill the right of my companion. He said: Then Saʿīd brought out a purse containing something and said to him: Spend this, and I declare it lawful for you before God Almighty; it is lawful. He said: I have no need of it. Then he said to him: May God have mercy on you; do you not see what the people are in? A supplication. He said: Then Sulaymān cried out with a loud cry, then said: What is with you, O Saʿīd? You tempt me with this world and you tempt me with religion. What have I to do with supplication? Who am I? Then Saʿīd went out and informed al-Awzāʿī of what had happened, and al-Awzāʿī said: Leave Sulaymān alone. If Sulaymān had been among the Companions, he would have been a proverb. Shuʿbah b. al-Ḥajjāj b. al-Ward Shuʿbah b. al-Ḥajjāj b. al-Ward, Abū Bisṭām al-ʿAtakī, their client, of Wāsiṭī origin, Baṣran by residence. He was born in Wāsiṭ in the year 203 AH, and grew up there, then moved to al-Baṣrah. He saw Al-Ḥasan and Ibn Sīrīn, and heard Qatādah, Yūnus b. ʿUbayd, Ayyūb al-Sijistānī, Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ, ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿUmayr, Abū Isḥāq al-Sabīʿī, Ṭalḥah b. Muṣarrif, Manṣūr b. al-Muʿtamir, al-Aʿmash and others besides them. Those who narrated from him include: Ayyūb, al-Aʿmash, Ibn ʿUyaynah, Ibn al-Mahdī. He was ten years older than Sufyān al-Thawrī, and he was a scholar, a memorizer of ḥadīth, truthful, ascetic, devout, and knowledgeable in poetry. Al-Aṣmaʿī said: We have not seen anyone more knowledgeable in poetry than Shuʿbah. On the authority of Qarrār Abū Nūḥ, who said: Shuʿbah saw a shirt on me and said: For how much did you buy this? I said: For eight dirhams. He said: Woe to you! Do you not fear God, wearing a shirt for eight dirhams? Why did you not buy a shirt for four dirhams and give four dirhams as charity? Al-Ḍubaʿī said: And Abū ʿAmr Aḥmad b. Muḥammad al-Ḥīrī narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us, saying: I heard Muḥammad b. Muʿāwiyah while Sulaymān b. Ḥarb was beside him, saying: Al-Layth b. Saʿd went out one day, and they valued his clothes, his mount, his ring, and what was on him at eighteen thousand dirhams to twenty thousand. Sulaymān b. Ḥarb said: Shuʿbah went out one day, and they valued his donkey, his saddle, and his bridle at eighteen dirhams to twenty dirhams. On the authority of ʿAmr b. ʿAlī al-Fallās, who said: I heard Abū Baḥr al-Bakrāwī saying: I have not seen anyone more devoted to God than Shuʿbah. He worshipped God until his skin dried upon his bone, with no flesh between them. The author of the book said: Shuʿbah was preoccupied with knowledge and did not earn anything of this world. He had brothers who took care of his affairs. One of his brothers bought food from the sultan and lost money in it. Shuʿbah went before al-Mahdī concerning that, and Sufyān al-Thawrī criticized him for entering upon them. Shuʿbah said: His brother was not imprisoned. And on the authority of Abū ʿĀṣim, who said: A brother of Shuʿbah bought from the sultan's food and he and his partners lost, so he was imprisoned for six thousand dinars that fell to him. Shuʿbah went out to al-Mahdī to speak to him about it. When he entered upon him, he said to him: O Commander of the Faithful, Qatādah and Simāk b. Ḥarb recited to me the verses of Umayyah b. Abī al-Ṣalt: Shall I mention my need, or has your modesty sufficed me? Indeed your nature is modesty. A noble one whom morning does not change from noble character, nor evening. Your land is a land of honor built by Banū Taym, and you are a sky for them. So he said: No, O Abū Bisṭām, do not mention it; we have recognized it and fulfilled it for you. Hand over his brother to him, and do not impose anything on him. And on the authority of Muḥammad b. Isḥāq al-Sarrāj, who said: I heard one of our companions saying: Al-Mahdī granted Shuʿbah thirty thousand dirhams, and he distributed it, and he granted him a thousand jarībs in al-Baṣrah. He came to al-Baṣrah but did not find anything that was agreeable to him, so he left it and did not return. Shuʿbah died in al-Baṣrah in this year, at the age of seventy-seven. ʿAbd Allāh b. Ṣafwān al-Jumaḥī ʿAbd Allāh b. Ṣafwān al-Jumaḥī. Governor of al-Madīnah. He died, and Zufar b. ʿĀṣim took his place as governor. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUtbah b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Masʿūd al-Hudhalī al-Masʿūdī ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUtbah b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Masʿūd al-Hudhalī al-Masʿūdī. He heard al-Qāsim b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, Salamah b. Kuhayl, ʿĀṣim b. Bahdalah and others besides them. Those who narrated from him include: al-Thawrī, Shuʿbah, Ibn ʿUtbah, Wakīʿ, Yazīd b. Hārūn and others besides them. Al-Athram said: Abū ʿAbd Allāh Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal was asked about Abū ʿUmayr and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Masʿūdī: Which of them is more beloved to you? He said: Both are trustworthy. Al-Masʿūdī ʿAbd al-Raḥmān has more ḥadīth of the two. It was said to him: Does he have brothers? He said: Yes. It was said to him: Are they from the descendants of ʿAbd Allāh b. Masʿūd or from the descendants of ʿUtbah? He said: They are from the descendants of ʿUbayd Allāh b. ʿUtbah b. Masʿūd, and Ibn ʿUtbah b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Masʿūd. Then he said: Ibn ʿUtbah b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Masʿūd. He said: And a man said to al-Masʿūdī: You are from the descendants of ʿUtbah b. Masʿūd, and he became angry and said: I am from the descendants of ʿAbd Allāh b. Masʿūd. They agreed that ʿAbd al-Raḥmān is trustworthy, and they only mentioned that he became confused at the end of his life. He died in the year 160 AH, and it is said: in the year 165 AH, but the former is more correct. Among the notables who died in this year: al-Rabīʿ b. Ṣubayḥ, and Sufyān b. Ḥusayn, one of the companions of al-Zuhrī. And in it died Dāwūd b. Nuṣayr al-Ṭāʾī the ascetic, who was among the companions of Abū Ḥanīfah. And in it died al-Rabīʿ b. Mālik b. Abī ʿĀmir, the paternal uncle of Mālik b. Anas the jurist. His kunyah is Abū Mālik. They were four brothers: the eldest was Anas, the father of Mālik; then Uways, the grandfather of Ismāʿīl b. Uways; then Nāfiʿ; then al-Rabīʿ. And in it died Khalīfah b. Khayyāṭ al-ʿUṣfurī al-Laythī, who is the grandfather of Khalīfah b. Khayyāṭ. (Khayyāṭ with a dotted khāʾ and a yāʾ with two dots beneath.) And in it died al-Khalīl b. Aḥmad al-Baṣrī al-Furhūdī the grammarian, the famous imam in grammar, the teacher of Sībawayh.
