الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْخَلِيلِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ ذِكْرُ مَنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ مِنَ الْأَكَابِرِ   الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْخَلِيلِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ  . كَانَ كَثِيرَ التَّعَبُّدِ طَوِيلَ الْبُكَاءِ. عَنْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ بِمِصْرَ مَنْ أُفَضِّلُهُ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ فِي زُهْدِهِ وَوَرَعِهِ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَحْمِلُ دَقِيقًا فِي جِرَابٍ لِلنَّاسِ بِأُجْرَةٍ، يَتَقَرَّبُ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ بِحِمْلِ يَوْمٍ، ثُمَّ زَادَ أَمْرُهُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَدَّخِرُ لِوَقْتٍ ثَانٍ، وَعَلَيْهِ مُدَرَّعَةٌ قِيمَتُهَا أَقَلُّ مِنْ دِرْهَمٍ، وَأَجْمَعَ أَهْلُ مِصْرَ أَنَّهُ مُسْتَجَابُ الدَّعْوَةِ. وَعَنْ مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ الْخَلِيلِ مَرَّةً بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَكَلَّمْتُهُ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُهُ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ، فَقُلْتُ: ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي أَنْ يَتَقَبَّلَ حَجِّي، فَبَكَى وَدَعَا لِي، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ مِصْرَ، فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ الْخَلِيلِ كَانَ مَعَنَا بِمَكَّةَ، فَقَالُوا: مَا حَجَّ الْعَامَ، وَقَدْ كَانَ يَبْلُغُنِي أَنَّهُ يَمُرُّ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَمَا كُنْتُ أُصَدِّقُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهُ فَعَاتَبَنِي وَقَالَ: شَهَرْتَنِي، مَا كُنْتُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُحَدِّثَ بِهَذَا، فَلَا تَعُدْ بِحَقِّي عَلَيْكَ. الْحَسَنُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ حَيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ حَيٍّ. وُلِدَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ عَلِيٌّ تَوْأَمًا سَنَةَ مِائَةٍ، فَكَانَا وَأُمُّهُمَا يَقُومُونَ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ عَلَى الثُّلُثِ وَيَقْرَأُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ، ثُمَّ يَنَامُ وَيَقُومُ الْحَسَنُ الثُّلُثَ، وَيَقْرَأُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَمَاتَتْ أُمُّهُمَا فَحَزَّبَا اللَّيْلَ بَيْنَهُمَا، ثُمَّ مَاتَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَامَ الْحَسَنُ بِهِ كُلِّهِ، وَكَانَ يَخْتِمُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ. وَبَاعَ الْحَسَنُ جَارِيَةً فَقَالَ: أَخْبِرُوهُمْ أَنَّهَا تَنَخَّمَتْ عِنْدَنَا مَرَّةً دَمًا. وَعَنْ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ قَالَ: اشْتَهَى الْحَسَنُ أَخِي سَمَكًا، فَلَمَّا أُتِيَ بِهِ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى سُرَّةِ السَّمَكَةِ فَاضْطَرَبَتْ يَدُهُ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُفِعَ، وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ شَيْئًا، فَقِيلَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ لَمَّا ضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي إِلَى بَطْنِهَا أَنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُنْتِنُ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ بَطْنُهُ، فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ أَنْ أَذُوقَهُ. وَعَنْ خَلَفُ بْنُ تَمِيمٍ أَنَّ حَسَنَ بْنَ صَالِحٍ كَانَ يُصَلِّي إِلَى السَّحَرِ، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ يَبْكِي فِي مُصَلَّاهُ، وَيَجْلِسُ عَلِيٌّ فَيَبْكِي فِي حُجْرَتِهِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُمْ تَبْكِي اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ، قَالَ: فَمَاتَتْ ثُمَّ مَاتَ عَلِيٌّ، ثُمَّ مَاتَ حَسَنٌ، فَرَأَيْتُ حَسَنًا فِي مَنَامِي، فَقُلْتُ: مَا فَعَلَتِ الْوَالِدَةُ؟ قَالَ: بُدِّلَتْ بِطُولِ ذَلِكَ الْبُكَاءِ سُرُورَ الْأَبَدِ، قُلْتُ: وَعَلِيٌّ؟ قَالَ: وَعَلِيٌّ عَلَى خَيْرٍ. قُلْتُ: فَأَنْتَ فَمَضَى وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَهَلْ يُتَّكَلُ إِلَّا عَلَى عَفْوِهِ. تُوُفِّيَ الْحَسَنُ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. خَالِدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ خَالِدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ  ، أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ النَّهْرِيُّ. رَوَى عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ، وَحُمَيْدِ بْنِ هَانِي، حَدَّثَ عَنْهُ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ وَغَيْرُهُ، وَآخِرُ مَنْ حَدَّثَ عَنْهُ بِمِصْرَ رَوْحُ بْنُ صَلَاحٍ الْمُرَادِيُّ. وَتُوُفِّيَ بِالْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. أَبُو أُوَيْسٍ الْمَدِينِيُّ الْأَصْبَحِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُوَيْسِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ [أَبِي] عَامِرٍ، أَبُو أُوَيْسٍ الْمَدِينِيُّ الْأَصْبَحِيُّ  . كَانَ زَوْجَ أُخْتِ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، وَابْنَ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ لَحًّا، قَدِمَ بَغْدَادَ وَحَدَّثَ بِهَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، وَأَبِي الزِّنَادِ، وَهِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ. رَوَى عَنْهُ ابْنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ، وَشَبَّابَةُ، وَالْقَعْنَبِيُّ. وَثَّقَهُ يَحْيَى، [فِي رِوَايَةٍ] وَضَعَّفَهُ فِي أُخْرَى، وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ: هُوَ صَالِحٌ. وَقَالَ النَّسَائِيُّ: لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ. قَالَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ: قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا وَإِذَا مَعَهُ جَوَارٍ يَضْرِبْنَ - يَعْنِي الْقِيَانَ - قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا أَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا. عُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ التَّيْمِيُّ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ التَّيْمِيُّ  . مِنْ أَهْلِ مَدِينَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَلَّاهُ بَعْضُ أُمَرَاءِ الْمَدِينَةِ الْقَضَاءَ عَلَى إِكْرَاهٍ، فَلَمْ يَأْخُذْ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقًا. وَكَانَ مَحْمُودَ السِّيرَةِ جَمِيلَ الذِّكْرِ. رَوَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَهْدِيُّ الْمَدِينَةَ اسْتَعْفَاهُ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ، وَجَرَتْ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ قِصَّةٌ قَدْ ذَكَرْنَاهَا فِي سَنَةِ سِتِّينَ فَأَعْفَاهُ. عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّهْبَاءِ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّهْبَاءِ، أَبُو خُرَيْمٍ  . مَوْلَى بَاهِلَةَ الْبَصْرِيِّ، سَمِعَ سَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَبَكْرًا الْمُزَنِيَّ، وَالْحَسَنَ، وَابْنَ سِيرِينَ، وَرَوَى عَنْهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، وَكَانَ ثِقَةً، انْتَقَلَ عَنِ الْبَصْرَةِ فَنَزَلَ الْمَدَائِنَ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ السَّلَامِ بَغْدَادَ. وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ بِبَغْدَادَ. مُحَمَّدٌ الْمَهْدِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَنْصُورِ مُحَمَّدٌ الْمَهْدِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَنْصُورِ  . رَأَى مَنَامًا قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ يَدُلُّ عَلَيْهَا. عَنْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ يَقْطِينٍ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ الْمَهْدِيِّ فَقَالَ لَنَا يَوْمًا: إِنِّي دَاخِلٌ الْبَهْوَ فَنَائِمٌ فِيهِ فَلَا يُوقِظْنِي أَحَدٌ حَتَّى أَسْتَيْقِظَ، قَالَ: فَنَامَ وَنِمْنَا، فَمَا أَنْبَهَنَا إِلَّا بُكَاؤُهُ، فَقُمْنَا فَزِعِينَ، فَقُلْنَا: مَا شَأْنُكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَقَالَ: أَتَانِي السَّاعَةَ آتٍ فِي مَنَامِي، شَيْخٌ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ فِي مِائَةِ أَلْفِ شَيْخٍ لَعَرَفْتُهُ، فَأَخَذَ بِعِضَادَتَيِ الْبَابِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: كَأَنِّي بِهَذَا الْقَصْرِ قَدْ بَادَ أَهْلُهُ وَأَوْحَشَ مِنْهُ رُكْنُهُ وَمَنَازِلُهْ     وَصَارَ عَمِيدُ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ بَعْدِ بَهْجَةٍ وَمُلْكٍ إِلَى قَبْرٍ عَلَيْهِ جَنَادِلُهْ     وَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا ذِكْرُهُ وَحَدِيثُهُ تُنَادِي عَلَيْهِ بِالْعَوِيلِ حَلَائِلُهْ وَاخْتَلَفُوا فِي سَبَبِ وَفَاتِهِ عَلَى قَوْلَيْنِ: أَحَدُهُمَا: رَوَاهُ وَاضِحٌ قَهْرَمَانُ الْمَهْدِيِّ قَالَ: خَرَجَ الْمَهْدِيُّ يَتَصَيَّدُ بِقَرْيَةٍ مِنْ قُرَى مَاسَبَذَانَ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ مَعَهُ إِلَى بَعْدِ الْعَصْرِ وَانْصَرَفْتُ إِلَى مَضْرِبِي، وَكَانَ بَعِيدًا مِنْ مَضْرِبِهِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ وَقْتُ السَّحَرِ رَكِبْتُ لِإِقَامَةِ الْوَظَائِفِ وَلَقِيَنِي أَسْوَدُ عُرْيَانٌ، فَدَنَا مِنِّي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَبَا سَهْلٍ، أَعْظَمَ اللَّهُ أَجَرَكَ فِي مَوْلَاكَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ. فَدَخَلْتُ فَإِذَا بِهِ مُسَجًّى فِي قُبَّةٍ. فَقُلْتُ: فَارَقْتُكُمْ بَعْدَ [صَلَاةِ] الْعَصْرِ وَهُوَ أَسَرُّ مَا كَانَ حَالًا وَأَصَحُّهُ بَدَنًا، فَمَا كَانَ الْخَبَرُ؟ فَقَالُوا: اطَّرَدَتِ الْكِلَابُ ظَبْيًا فَمَا زَالَ يَتْبَعُهَا فَاقْتَحَمَ الظَّبْيُ بَابَ خَرِبَةٍ، فَاقْتَحَمَتِ الْكِلَابُ خَلْفَهُ وَاقْتَحَمَ الْفَرَسُ خَلْفَ الْكِلَابِ، فَدَقَّ ظَهْرَهُ بَابُ الْخَرِبَةِ فَمَاتَ مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ. الْقَوْلُ الثَّانِي: ذَكَرَهُ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ قَالَ: بَعَثَتْ جَارِيَةٌ مِنْ جَوَارِي الْمَهْدِيِّ إِلَى ضَرَّةٍ لَهَا لَبَنًا فِيهِ سُمٌّ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فِي الْبُسْتَانِ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِهِ مِنْ عِيسَابَادَ، فَدَعَا بِهِ فَأَكَلَ، فَفَرِقَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ أَنْ تَقُولَ إِنَّهُ مَسْمُومٌ. وَرَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّازِيُّ: أَنَّ الْمَهْدِيَّ كَانَ جَالِسًا فِي عُلِّيَّةِ قَصْرٍ بِمَاسَبَذَانَ، وَكَانَتْ جَارِيَتُهُ حَسَنَةُ قَدْ عَمَدَتْ إِلَى كُمَّثْرَى فَجَعَلَتْهُ فِي صِينِيَّةٍ وَسَمَّتْ وَاحِدَةً فِي أَحْسَنِهِ وَأَنْضَجِهِ، وَرَدَّتِ الْقُمْعَ عَلَيْهَا وَوَضَعَتْهَا فِي أَعْلَى الصِّينِيَّةِ، وَأَرْسَلَتْ بِذَلِكَ مَعَ وَصِيفَةٍ لَهَا إِلَى جَارِيَةِ الْمَهْدِيِّ - وَكَانَتْ حَظِيَّةً عِنْدَهُ - تُرِيدُ قَتْلَهَا، فَمَرَّتِ الْوَصِيفَةُ بِالصِّينِيَّةِ، فَرَآهَا الْمَهْدِيُّ، فَدَعَاهَا فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ فَأَخَذَ الْكُمَّثْرَاةَ الَّتِي فِي أَعْلَى الصِّينِيَّةِ وَهِيَ الْمَسْمُومَةُ، فَأَكَلَهَا فَصَرَخَ: جَوْفِي. فَأُخْبِرَتْ حَسَنَةُ الْخَبَرَ، فَجَاءَتْ تَلْطِمُ وَجْهَهَا وَتَبْكِي وَتَقُولُ: أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَنْفَرِدَ بِكَ فَقَتَلْتُكَ، فَهَلَكَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ فَجَعَلَتْ حَسَنَةُ عَلَى قُبَّتِهَا الْمُسُوحَ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْعَتَاهِيَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ: رُحْنَ فِي الْوَشْيِ وَأَصْبَحْنَ     عَلَيْهِنَّ الْمُسُوحُ كُلُّ نَطَّاحٍ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ     لَهُ يَوْمٌ نَطُوحُ لَسْتَ بِالْبَاقِي وَلَوْ     عُمِّرْتَ مَا عُمِّرَ نُوحُ فَعَلَى نَفْسِكَ نُحْ إِنْ     كُنْتَ لَا بُدَّ تَنُوحُ تُوُفِّيَ الْمَهْدِيُّ بِقَرْيَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا الرَّذُّ مِنْ مَاسَبَذَانَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْخَمِيسِ لِثَمَانٍ بَقِينَ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ، سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ وَسِتِّينَ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَلَمْ تُوجَدْ لَهُ جِنَازَةٌ يُحْمَلُ عَلَيْهَا، فَحُمِلَ عَلَى بَابٍ، وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ابْنُهُ هَارُونُ، وَدُفِنَ تَحْتَ جَوْزَةٍ كَانَ يَجْلِسُ تَحْتَهَا فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ، وَكَانَتْ خِلَافَتُهُ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَشَهْرًا وَنِصْفَ شَهْرٍ، وَقِيلَ: عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَتِسْعَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. نَافِعُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ الْقَارِئُ الْمَدِينِيُّ نَافِعُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ الْقَارِئُ الْمَدِينِيُّ، وَيُكَنَّى أَبَا نُعَيْمٍ. وَقِيلَ: أَبَا رُوَيْمٍ، وَقِيلَ: أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَقِيلَ: أَبَا الْحَسَنِ. وَهُوَ مَوْلَى جَعُونَةَ بْنِ شَعُوبٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ حَلِيفِ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَأَصْلُهُ مِنْ أَصْبَهَانَ. سَمِعَ مِنْ نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ، وَعَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ. قَالَ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ: قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ سَنَةَ عَشْرٍ وَمِائَةٍ فَوَجَدْتُ نَافِعًا إِمَامَ النَّاسِ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ لَا يُنَازَعُ. تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، وَقِيلَ: سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَأَقْرَأَ مِنْ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ. وَمِمَّنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْأَعْيَانِ: الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَنِ بْنِ حَسَنِ بْنِ حَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ،  قُتِلَ فِي أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ، كَمَا ذَكَرْنَا. الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ يُونُسَ الْحَاجِبُ،  مَوْلَى الْمَنْصُورِ وَحَاجِبُهُ وَوَزِيرُهُ، وَقَدْ وَزَرَ أَيْضًا لِلْهَادِي. وَقِيلَ: إِنَّهُ وَزَرَ أَيْضًا لِلْمَهْدِيِّ. وَكَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَطْعَنُ فِي نَسَبِهِ. وَقَدْ أَوْرَدَ الْخَطِيبُ فِي تَرْجَمَتِهِ حَدِيثًا مِنْ طَرِيقِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ مُنْكَرٌ، فِي صِحَّتِهِ عَنْهُ نَظَرٌ. وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ. وَقَدْ وَلِيَ الْحُجُوبِيَّةَ بَعْدَهُ وَلَدُهُ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، وَلَّاهُ إِيَّاهَا الْخَلِيفَةُ الْهَادِي. وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِيَادٍ، وَنَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجُمَحِيُّ. وَفِيهَا مَاتَ مُطِيعُ بْنُ إِيَاسٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ الْكِنَانِيُّ الشَّاعِرُ  ، وَأَبُو عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ مُعَاوِيَةُ ( بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ) بْنِ بَشَّارٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ، مَوْلَاهُمْ، وَكَانَ وَزِيرَ الْمَهْدِيِّ، وَقِيلَ مَاتَ سَنَةَ سَبْعِينَ وَمِائَةٍ. وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَاجِبُ الْمَنْصُورِ، مَوْلَاهُ.

✧ Al-Ḥasan b. al-Khalīl b. Murrah Mention of the notables who died in this year Al-Ḥasan b. al-Khalīl b. Murrah. He was given to much worship and long weeping. From ʿAbd Allāh b. Ṣāliḥ, who said: I never saw in Egypt anyone I would prefer over al-Ḥasan b. al-Khalīl in asceticism and scrupulousness. I saw him carrying flour in a sack for people for a wage, drawing near to God every Friday with a day's load. Then his situation increased, and he would not save anything for a second time. He wore a woolen garment worth less than a dirham. The people of Egypt agreed that his supplication was answered. From Mūsā b. Hārūn, who said: I once saw al-Ḥasan b. al-Khalīl at ʿArafāt and spoke with him. Then I saw him circumambulating the House, and I said: Supplicate God for me that He accept my pilgrimage. He wept and supplicated for me. Then I came to Egypt and said: Al-Ḥasan b. al-Khalīl was with us in Makkah. They said: He did not perform the pilgrimage this year. It used to reach me that he would travel to Makkah in a single night, but I did not believe it until I saw him. He reproached me and said: You have made me known. I did not like you to speak of this, so do not do it again, by my right over you. Al-Ḥasan b. Ṣāliḥ b. Ḥayy Al-Ḥasan b. Ṣāliḥ b. Ḥayy. He and his brother ʿAlī were born twins in the year one hundred. They and their mother would stand in prayer the whole night, each taking a third, and each would recite a third of the Qurʾān. Then he would sleep, and al-Ḥasan would stand for the next third and recite a third of the Qurʾān. Their mother died, so they divided the night between them. Then ʿAlī died, and al-Ḥasan stood for the whole of it, completing a recitation of the Qurʾān every night. Al-Ḥasan sold a slave girl and said: Tell them that she once spat blood in our presence. From Sulaymān b. Idrīs al-Minqarī, who said: My brother al-Ḥasan craved fish. When it was brought, he put his hand to the fish's belly button, and his hand trembled. He ordered it taken away and did not eat anything. He was asked about that, and he said: When I put my hand to its belly, I remembered that the first part of a human being to putrefy is his belly, so I could not taste it. From Khalaf b. Tamīm, who said: Ḥasan b. Ṣāliḥ used to pray until the pre-dawn, then sit weeping in his prayer place, while ʿAlī sat weeping in his room. He said: Their mother used to weep night and day. She died, then ʿAlī died, then Ḥasan died. I saw Ḥasan in a dream and said: What happened to the mother? He said: She was given eternal joy in exchange for that long weeping. I said: And ʿAlī? He said: ʿAlī is upon good. I said: And you? He went away saying: Can one rely on anything except His pardon? Al-Ḥasan died in this year. Khālid b. Ḥumayd b. Khālid Khālid b. Ḥumayd b. Khālid, Abū Ḥumayd al-Nahrī. He narrated from Qays b. al-Ḥajjāj and Ḥumayd b. Hānī. Ibn Wahb and others narrated from him, and the last to narrate from him in Egypt was Rawḥ b. Ṣalāḥ al-Murādī. He died in Alexandria in this year. Abū Uways al-Madanī al-Aṣbaḥī ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Uways b. Mālik b. [Abī] ʿĀmir, Abū Uways al-Madanī al-Aṣbaḥī. He was the husband of Mālik b. Anas's sister and the son of his paternal cousin, a close relative. He came to Baghdad and narrated there from al-Zuhrī, Muḥammad b. al-Munkadir, Abū al-Zinād, and Hishām b. ʿUrwah. His two sons Abū Bakr and Ismāʿīl narrated from him, as did Shabābah and al-Qaʿnabī. Yaḥyā declared him trustworthy in one report and weak in another. Aḥmad said: He is acceptable. Al-Nasāʾī said: He is not strong. Abū Nuʿaym said: He came to us with slave girls who were singing—meaning singing girls. I said: By God, I will not hear anything from him. ʿUthmān b. Ṭalḥah b. ʿUmar b. ʿUbayd Allāh b. Maʿmar al-Taymī ʿUthmān b. Ṭalḥah b. ʿUmar b. ʿUbayd Allāh b. Maʿmar al-Taymī. From the people of the city of the Messenger of God ﷺ. One of the governors of Madinah appointed him to the judiciary against his will, and he did not take any stipend for it. He was praiseworthy in conduct and of good repute. He narrated from Muḥammad b. al-Munkadir. When al-Mahdī came to Madinah, he asked to be relieved of the judiciary, and a story occurred in that matter which we have mentioned in the year sixty, and he was relieved. ʿUqbah b. Abī al-Ṣahbāʾ ʿUqbah b. Abī al-Ṣahbāʾ, Abū Khuraym. A client of Bāhilah, from Baṣrah. He heard Sālim b. ʿAbd Allāh, Bakr al-Muzanī, al-Ḥasan, and Ibn Sīrīn. Yazīd b. Hārūn narrated from him. He was trustworthy. He moved from Baṣrah and settled in al-Madāʾin, then entered the City of Peace, Baghdad. He died in this year in Baghdad. Muḥammad al-Mahdī b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Manṣūr Muḥammad al-Mahdī b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Manṣūr. He saw a dream before his death indicating it. From Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. al-Barāʾ, who said: ʿAlī b. Yaqṭīn said to me: We went out with al-Mahdī, and one day he said to us: I am entering the pavilion and will sleep there; let no one wake me until I awake. He slept and we slept, and nothing roused us except his weeping. We rose in alarm and said: What is the matter, O Commander of the Faithful? He said: In my sleep just now someone came to me, an old man by God—if he were among a hundred thousand old men I would recognize him. He took hold of the two doorposts and said: It is as if I see this palace whose people have perished, And its corner and dwelling places are desolate. And the chief of the people has gone, after splendor And kingship, to a grave upon which are stones. And nothing remains but his remembrance and his talk, While his wives cry out for him with wailing. They differed about the cause of his death in two opinions: One of them was narrated by Wāḍiḥ, al-Mahdī's steward, who said: Al-Mahdī went out hunting at a village of the villages of Māsabadhān. I remained with him until after the afternoon prayer, then went to my tent, which was far from his. When it was time for the pre-dawn, I rode to perform my duties, and a naked black man met me. He came near and said: Abū Sahl, may God magnify your reward for your master, the Commander of the Faithful. I entered and found him covered in a dome. I said: I left you after the afternoon prayer, and he was in the most joyful and healthiest state; what is the news? They said: The dogs chased a gazelle, and he kept following them. The gazelle plunged through the gate of a ruin, the dogs plunged after it, and the horse plunged after the dogs. The gate of the ruin struck his back, and he died on the spot. The second opinion was mentioned by Abū Nuʿaym al-Marwazī, who said: One of al-Mahdī's slave girls sent to a co-wife of hers milk containing poison while he was sitting in the garden after coming out of ʿĪsābād. He called for it and ate, and the slave girl was afraid to say that it was poisoned. Aḥmad b. Muḥammad al-Rāzī narrated that al-Mahdī was sitting in an upper room of a palace at Māsabadhān, and his slave girl Ḥasanah had taken a pear, placed it in a tray, and poisoned the finest and ripest one, then put its stem back on and placed it at the top of the tray. She sent that with a maid of hers to al-Mahdī's slave girl—who was his favorite—intending to kill her. The maid passed by with the tray, and al-Mahdī saw it. He called her, stretched out his hand, took the pear at the top of the tray, which was the poisoned one, and ate it. He cried out: My belly! Ḥasanah was told the news, and she came striking her face and weeping, saying: I wanted to have you to myself, and I have killed you. He perished that day, and Ḥasanah put mourning garments over her dome. Abū al-ʿAtāhiyah said about that: They went out in embroidered garments and awoke With mourning garments upon them. Every butting one of time Has a day of butting. You are not the one who remains, even if You lived as long as Noah lived. So wail for yourself, If you must wail. Al-Mahdī died in a village called al-Radhdh in Māsabadhān on Thursday night, eight nights remaining of al-Muḥarram, in the year one hundred sixty-nine, and he was forty-three years old. No bier was found for him to be carried on, so he was carried on a door. His son Hārūn prayed over him, and he was buried beneath a walnut tree under which he used to sit, in the place where he died. His caliphate lasted ten years, one month, and half a month; it is also said: ten years and forty-nine days. Nāfiʿ b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Nuʿaym, the Medinan reciter Nāfiʿ b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Nuʿaym, the Medinan reciter, whose kunyah was Abū Nuʿaym; it is also said: Abū Ruwaym; it is said: Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān; and it is said: Abū al-Ḥasan. He was a client of Jaʿūnah b. Shaʿūb al-Laythī, the ally of Ḥamzah b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, and his origin was from Iṣbahān. He heard from Nāfiʿ, the client of ʿUmar, and ʿĀmir b. ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Zubayr. Al-Layth b. Saʿd said: I came to Madinah in the year one hundred ten and found Nāfiʿ the imam of the people in recitation, uncontested. He died in this year; it is also said in the year one hundred fifty-nine, and he taught recitation for one hundred years. Among the notables who died in it was al-Ḥusayn b. ʿAlī b. Ḥasan b. Ḥasan b. Ḥasan b. ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, killed during the days of tashrīq, as we mentioned. Al-Rabīʿ b. Yūnus al-Ḥājib, client of al-Manṣūr, his chamberlain and vizier, who also served as vizier for al-Hādī; it is said he also served as vizier for al-Mahdī. Some people impugned his lineage. Al-Khaṭīb included in his biography a hadith from his path, but it is disapproved, and its authenticity from him is questionable. God knows best. His son al-Faḍl b. al-Rabīʿ succeeded him in the office of chamberlain, and the caliph al-Hādī appointed him to it. In it also died ʿUbayd Allāh b. Iyād and Nāfiʿ b. ʿUmar al-Jumaḥī. In it died Muṭīʿ b. Iyās al-Laythī al-Kinānī, the poet, and Abū ʿUbayd Allāh Muʿāwiyah (b. ʿUbayd Allāh) b. Bashshār al-Ashʿarī, their client, who was vizier of al-Mahdī; it is said he died in the year one hundred seventy. In it died al-Rabīʿ b. Yūnus, chamberlain of al-Manṣūr, his client.
