مَنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ مِنَ الْأَكَابِرِ   أَسَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ الْبَجَلِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ أَسَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ الْبَجَلِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ، صَاحِبُ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ. تَفَقَّهَ وَسَمِعَ مِنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَأَةَ، رَوَى عَنْهُ: أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَغَيْرُهُ. كَانَ قَدْ وَلِيَ الْقَضَاءَ بِبَغْدَادَ وَبِوَاسِطَ، فَأَنْكَرَ مِنْ بَصَرِهِ شَيْئًا، فَرَدَّ الْقِمْطَرَ وَاعْتَزَلَ عَنِ الْقَضَاءِ. وَثَّقَهُ يَحْيَى، وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ: كَانَ صَدُوقًا. وَضَعَّفَهُ عَلِيٌّ، وَالْبُخَارِيُّ، وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. حَكَّامُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الْكِنَانِيُّ الرَّازِيُّ، أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَكَّامُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الْكِنَانِيُّ الرَّازِيُّ، أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ. سَمِعَ مِنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، وَالزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ، وَحُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، وَالثَّوْرِيِّ. رَوَى عَنْهُ: يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، وَأَبُو مَعْمَرٍ الْهُذَلِيُّ. وَكَانَ ثِقَةً. وعَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، مَا فِيهِمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكْفِيَهُ صَاحِبُهُ الْفَتْوَى. تُوُفِّيَ حَكَّامٌ بِمَكَّةَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحُجَّ. سَعْدُونُ الْمَجْنُونُ سَعْدُونُ الْمَجْنُونُ. عن عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ قَالَ: قُرِئَ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يُوسُفَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ الْفَتْحُ بْنُ شَخْرَفَ: كَانَ سَعْدُونُ صَاحِبَ مَحَبَّةٍ لِلَّهِ،  صَامَ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً حَتَّى خَفَّ دِمَاغُهُ، فَسَمَّاهُ النَّاسُ مَجْنُونًا لِتَرَدُّدِ قَوْلِهِ فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ، فَغَابَ عَنَّا زَمَانًا، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا قَائِمٌ عَلَى حَلْقَةِ ذِي النُّونِ رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةَ صُوفٍ، وَعَلَيْهَا مَكْتُوبٌ: "لَا تُبَاعُ وَلَا تُشْتَرَى" فَسَمِعَ كَلَامَ ذِي النُّونِ، فَصَرَخَ وَأَنْشَأَ يَقُولُ: وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي شَكْوَى إِلَى غَيْرِ مُشْتَكًى وَلَا بُدَّ مِنْ شَكْوَى إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ صَبْرُ وعن عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ قُرَّةَ قَالَ: قَالَ الْأَصْمَعِيُّ: مَرَرْتُ بِسَعْدُونَ فَإِذَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ شَيْخٍ سَكْرَانَ يَذُبُّ عَنْهُ. فَقُلْتُ: سَعْدُونُ، مَا لِي أَرَاكَ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَأْسِ هَذَا الشَّيْخِ. فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ مَجْنُونٌ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَنْتَ الْمَجْنُونُ أَوْ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: لَا بَلْ هُوَ. قُلْتُ: مِنْ أَيْنَ قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: لِأَنِّي صَلَّيْتُ الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ جَمَاعَةً وَهُوَ لَمْ يُصَلِّ جَمَاعَةً وَلَا فُرَادَى. قُلْتُ: فَهَلْ قُلْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا ؟ فَقَالَ: تَرَكْتُ النَّبِيذَ لِأَهْلِ النَّبِيذِ     وَأَصْبَحْتُ أَشْرَبُ مَاءً قِرَاحًا لِأَنَّ النَّبِيذَ يُذِلُّ الْعَزِيزَ     وَيَكْسُو [سَوَادَ ] الْوُجُوهِ الصِّبَاحَا فَإِنْ كَانَ ذَا جَائِزًا لِلشَّبَابِ     فَمَا الْعُذْرُ فِيهِ إِذَا الشَّيْبُ لَاحَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: صَدَقْتَ. وَانْصَرَفْتُ. 1038 - عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ

بَغْدَادَ إِلَى أَنْ تُوُفِّيَ بِهَا فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. وَكَانَ مُؤَدِّبًا لِلْأَمِينَ، وَكَانَ أَحْمَدُ يُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ. وعن مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: عُبَيْدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ كَانَ ثِقَةً

اللَّهُ خَيْرًا مِنْ عَائِدٍ، لَكِنَّ عِيسَى بْنَ صَالِحٍ لَا جَزَاهُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا، عَادَنِي فَمَا بَرِحَ حَتَّى بُلْتُ فِي ثِيَابِي. تُوُفِّيَ عَطَاءٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ. يَحْيَى بْنُ

هَارُونُ عَرَفَ لِيَحْيَى حَقَّهُ، وَكَانَ يُعَظِّمُهُ، وَإِذَا ذَكَرَهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ أَبِي. وَجَعَلَ إِصْدَارَ الْأُمُورِ وَإِيرَادَهَا إِلَيْهِ، إِلَى أَنْ نَكَبَ الْبَرَامِكَةَ، فَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ، وَخَلَّدَهُ فِي الْحَبْسِ إِلَى أَنْ مَاتَ فِيهِ. وَكَانَ لَهُ الْكَلَامُ الْحَسَنُ، وَالْكَرَمُ الْوَاسِعُ، فَمِنْ كَلَامِهِ: حَاجِبُ الرَّجُلِ عَامِلُهُ عَلَى عَرْضِهِ. وَقَالَ: مَنْ بَلَغَ رُتْبَةً تَاهَ بِهَا أَخْبَرَ أَنَّ مَحَلَّهُ دُونَهَا. وَقَالَ: يَدُلُّ عَلَى كَرَمِ الرَّجُلِ سُودَانُ غِلْمَانِهِ. وَقَالَ لِابْنِهِ: خُذْ مَنْ كُلٍّ طَرَفًا، فَإِنَّ مَنْ جَهِلَ شَيْئًا عَادَاهُ. وعن أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى النَّدِيمُ قَالَ: قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ خَالِدٍ: ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْيَاءَ تَدُلُّ عَلَى عُقُولِ أَرْبَابِهَا: الْهَدِيَّةُ، وَالْكِتَابُ، وَالرَّسُولُ. وَكَانَ يَقُولُ لِوَلَدِهِ: اكْتُبُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا تَسْمَعُونَ، وَاحْفَظُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا تَكْتُبُونَ، وَتَحَدَّثُوا بِأَحْسَنِ مَا تَحْفَظُونَ. قَالَ ابْنُ عِمْرَانَ: بسنده قَالَ: كَانَ يَحْيَى بْنُ خَالِدٍ يَقُولُ: إِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الدُّنْيَا فَأَنْفِقْ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَفْنَى، وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَأَنْفِقْ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَبْقَى  . وعن الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَقُولُ: كَانَتْ صِلَاتُ يَحْيَى بْنِ خَالِدٍ إِذَا رَكِبَ لِمَنْ تَعَرَّضَ لَهُ بِمِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ، فَرَكِبَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فَعَرَضَ لَهُ أَدِيبٌ شَاعِرٌ فَقَالَ: يَا سُمِّيَ الْحَصُورَ يَحْيَى أُتِيحَتْ     لَكَ مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبِّنَا جَنَّتَانِ كُلُّ مَنْ مَرَّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ عَلَيْكُمْ     فَلَهُ مَنْ نَوَالِكُمْ مِائَتَانِ مِائَتَا دِرْهَمٍ لِمِثْلِي قَلِيلٌ     هِيَ مِنْكُمْ لِلْقَابِسِ الْعِجْلَانِ قَالَ يَحْيَى: صَدَقْتُ. وَأَمَرَ بِحَمْلِهِ إِلَى دَارِهِ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مِنْ دَارِ الْخَلِيفَةِ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ حَالِهِ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ، وَأَخَذَ بِوَاحِدَةٍ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ، إِمَّا أَنْ تُؤَدِّيَ الْمَهْرَ وَهُوَ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُطْلِقَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُقِيمَ جَارِيًا [لِلْمَرْأَةِ ] مَا يَكْفِيهَا إِلَى أَنْ يَتَهَيَّأَ لَهُ نَقْلُهَا، فَأَمَرَ لَهُ يَحْيَى بِأَرْبَعَةِ آلَافٍ لِلْمَهْرِ، وَأَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ لِثَمَنِ مَنْزِلٍ، وَأَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ لِمَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ [الْمُنْزِلُ ] وَأَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ لِلْبِنْيَةِ، وَأَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ يَسْتَظْهِرُ بِهَا، فَأَخَذَ عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ. وعن حُسَيْنُ بْنُ فَهِمٍ قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ الْمَوْصِلِيِّ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي [قَالَ: ] أَتَيْتُ يَحْيَى بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ بَرْمَكٍ، فَشَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ ضِيقَةً، فَقَالَ: وَيْحَكَ ! مَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَ ؟ لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا فِي هَذَا الْوَقْتِ شَيْءٌ، وَلَكِنْ هَا هُنَا أَمْرٌ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَيْهِ، فَكُنْ فِيهِ رَجُلًا، قَدْ جَاءَنِي خَلِيفَةُ صَاحِبِ مِصْرَ يَسْأَلُنِي أَنْ أَسْتَهْدِيَ صَاحِبَهُ شَيْئًا، وَقَدْ أَبَيْتُ ذَلِكَ، فَأَلَحَّ عَلَيَّ وَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ أَعْطَيْتَ بِجَارِيَتِكَ فُلَانَةَ آلَافَ دَنَانِيرَ، فَهُوَ ذَا أَسْتَهْدِيهِ إِيَّاهَا وَأُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّهَا قَدْ أَعْجَبَتْنِي، فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَنْقُصَهَا مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، وَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ. قَالَ: فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا شَعَرْتُ إِلَّا بِالرَّجُلِ قَدْ وَافَانِي فَسَاوَمَنِي بِالْجَارِيَةِ. فَقُلْتُ: لَا أَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُسَاوِمُنِي حَتَّى بَذَلَ لِي عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُهَا ضَعْفَ قَلْبِي عَنْ رَدِّهَا، فَبِعْتُهَا وَقَبَضْتُ الْعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا، وَصِرْتُ إِلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ خَالِدٍ، فَقَالَ لِي: كَيْفَ صَنَعْتَ فِي بَيْعِ جَارِيَتِكَ ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ وَقُلْتُ: وَاللَّهِ مَا مَلَكْتُ نَفْسِي أَنْ أَجَبْتُ إِلَى الْعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا حِينَ سَمِعْتُهَا. فَقَالَ: إِنَّكَ لَخَسِيسٌ، وَهَذَا خَلِيفَةُ فَارِسَ قَدْ جَاءَنِي فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا، فَخُذْ جَارِيَتَكَ، فَإِذَا سَاوَمَكَ بِهَا فَلَا تَنْقُصْهَا مِنْ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهَا مِنْكَ بِذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَجَاءَنِي الرَّجُلُ فَأَسْمَتْ عَلَيْهِ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُسَاوِمُنِي حَتَّى أَعْطَانِي ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، فَضَعُفَ قَلْبِي عَنْ رَدِّهَا، وَلَمْ أُصَدِّقْ بِهَا، فَأَوْجْبَتُهَا لَهُ بِهَا، ثُمَّ صِرْتُ إِلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ خَالِدٍ، فَقَالَ لِي: بِكُمْ بِعْتُ الْجَارِيَةَ ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: وَيْحَكَ ! أَمَا تُؤَدِّبُكَ الْأُولَى عَنِ الثَّانِيَةِ. قُلْتُ: وَاللَّهِ ضَعُفَ قَلِّبِي عَنْ رَدِّ شَيْءٍ، لَمْ أَطْمَعْ فِيهِ. فَقَالَ: هَذِهِ جَارَيْتُكَ فَخُذْهَا إِلَيْكَ. قَالَ: جَارِيَةٌ أَفْدَتْ بِهَا خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، ثُمَّ أَمْلِكُهَا، أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّهَا حُرَّةٌ، وَأَنِّي قَدْ تَزَوَّجْتُهَا. وقال أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْخَطِيبُ: وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ الرَّشِيدَ بَعَثَ صَالِحًا صَاحِبَ الْمُصَلَّى إِلَى مَنْصُورِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ يَقُولُ لَهُ: قَدْ وَجَبَ عَلَيْكَ عَشَرَةُ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ، فَاحْمِلْهَا إِلَيَّ الْيَوْمَ، فَإِنْ فِعْلَ إِلَى مَا قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ، وَإِلَّا فَخُذْ رَأْسَهُ، وَائْتِنِي بِهِ، وَلَا تُرَاجِعْنِي. قَالَ صَالِحٌ: فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى مَنْصُورٍ فَعَرَفْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: ذَهَبَتْ وَاللَّهِ نَفْسِي، وَاللَّهِ مَا أَتَمَكَّنُ مِنْ ثَلَاثِمِائَةِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ فَضْلًا [عَنْ ] عَشَرَةِ آلَافِ أَلْفٍ. قَالَ لَهُ صَالِحٌ: خُذْ فِيمَا هُوَ أَعُودُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْقَوْلِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ: تَحْمِلُنِي إِلَى أَهْلِي حَتَّى أُوصِيَ. فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ إِلَيْهِمُ ارْتَفَعَ صِيَاحُ الْحَرِيمِ وَالْجَوَارِي، فَقَالَ لِصَالِحٍ: امْضِ بِنَا إِلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ خَالِدٍ، لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِالْفَرَجِ عَلَى يَدِهِ. فَمَضَى مَعَهُ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى يَحْيَى وَهُوَ يَبْكِي فَقَالَ: مَا لَكَ ؟ فَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ، فَأَطْرَقَ مُتَفَكِّرًا ثُمَّ دَعَا جَارِيَةً فَقَالَ: كَمْ عِنْدَكَ مِنَ الْمَالِ ؟ قَالَتْ: خَمْسَةُ آلَافِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ. فَقَالَ: أَعِدِيهَا. ثُمَّ وَجَّهَ إِلَى الْفَضْلِ فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا بُنَيَّ، كُنْتُ عَرَّفْتَنِي أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ ضَيْعَةً بِأَلْفَيْ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ، وَقَدْ وَجَدْتُ لَكَ ضَيْعَةً تَغُلُّ السُّكَّرَ، وَتَبْقَى الدَّهْرَ فَأَنْفِذْهَا إِلَيَّ. فَأَنْفَذَهَا وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى جَعْفَرٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا بُنَيَّ ابْعَثْ إِلَيَّ بِأَلْفِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ لِحَقٍّ لَزِمَنِي. فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ، فَفَكَّرَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لِخَادِمٍ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ: ابْعَثْ إِلَيَّ دَنَانِيرَ وَقُلْ لَهَا هَاتِ الْعَقْدَ الَّذِي وَهَبَهُ لَكَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأُهْدِيهِ. فَقَالَ: هَذَا عَقْدُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِمِائَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ. فَوَهَبَهُ لِدَنَانِيرَ، وَقَدْ قَوَّمْنَاهُ عَلَيْكَ بِأَلْفَيْ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ لِيَتِمَّ الْمَالُ، فَخَلِّ عَنْ صَاحِبِنَا. فَأَخَذْتُ ذَلِكَ، وَرَدَدْتُ مَنْصُورًا مَعِي، فَلَمَّا صِرْنَا إِلَى الْبَابِ تَمَثَّلَ مَنْصُورٌ: فَمَا بَقِيَا عَلَيَّ تَرَكْتُمَانِي     وَلَكِنْ خِفْتُمَا صَرْدَ النِّبَالِ قَالَ صَالِحٌ: فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي مَا أَحَدٌ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ يَحْيَى، وَلَا أَرْدَأُ طَبْعًا مِنْ هَذَا النَّبَطِيِّ، إِذْ لَمْ يَشْكُرْ مَنْ أَحْيَا نَفْسَهُ. وَصِرْتُ إِلَى الرَّشِيدِ فَعَرَّفْتُهُ مَا جَرَى إِلَّا إِنْشَادَ الْبَيْتِ، خَوْفًا عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ. فَقَالَ الرَّشِيدُ: قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَسْلَمُ إِلَّا بِأَهْلِ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ، فَاقْبِضِ الْمَالَ، وَارْدُدِ الْعَقْدَ، فَمَا كُنْتُ لِأَهَبَ هِبَةً ثُمَّ أَرْتَجِعَهَا. قَالَ صَالِحٌ: وَحَمَلَنِي غَيْظِي مِنْ مَنْصُورٍ أَنْ عَرَّفْتُ يَحْيَى مَا أَنْشَدَ، فَأَقْبَلَ يَحْيَى يَتَحَمَّلُ لَهُ بِالْغَدْرِ وَيَقُولُ: إِنَّ الْخَائِفَ لَا يُتَّقَى لَهُ لُبٌّ، وَرُبَّمَا نَطَقَ بِمَا لَا يَعْتَقِدُ، فَقُلْتُ: وَاللَّهِ لَا أَدْرِي مِنْ أَيِّ فِعْلَيْكَ أَعْجَبُ، مِنْ فِعْلِكَ مَعَهُ، أَوْ مِنِ اعْتِذَارِكَ عَنْهُ، لَكِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الزَّمَانَ لَا يَأْتِي بِمِثْلِكَ أَبَدًا. وَكَانَ يَحْيَى بْنُ خَالِدٍ يَجْرِي عَلَى سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ كُلَّ شَهْرٍ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ، فَسَمِعَ سُفْيَانَ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ يَحْيَى كَفَانِي أَمْرَ دُنْيَايَ فَاكْفِهِ بِهِمْ آخِرَتَهُ. فَلَمَّا مَاتَ يَحْيَى رَآهُ بَعْضُ إِخْوَانِهِ فِي النَّوْمِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا فَعَلَ اللَّهُ بِكَ. قَالَ: غَفَرَ لِي بِدَعْوَةِ سُفْيَانَ. وعن مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ بَرْمَكٍ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبِي لِأَبِيهِ: يَحْيَى بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ بَرْمَكٍ - وَهِمَ فِي الْقُيُودِ وَلَبِسَ الصُّوفَ وَالْحَبْسَ -: يَا أَبَتِ، بَعْدَ الْأَمْرِ وَالنَّهْيِ وَالْأَمْوَالِ الْعَظِيمَةِ أَصَارَنَا الدَّهْرُ إِلَى الْقُيُودِ وَلُبْسِ الصُّوفِ وَالْحَبْسِ ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُوهُ: يَا بُنَيَّ، دَعْوَةُ مَظْلُومٍ سَرَتْ بِلَيْلٍ غَفَلْنَا عَنْهَا وَلَمْ يَغْفَلِ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يَقُولُ: رُبَّ قَوْمٍ قَدْ غَدَوْا فِي نِعْمَةٍ     زَمَنًا وَالدَّهْرُ رَيَّانُ غَدِقْ سَكَتَ الدَّهْرُ زَمَانًا عَنْهُمْ     ثُمَّ أَبْكَاهُمْ دَمًا حِينَ نَطَقْ تُوُفِّيَ يَحْيَى فِي حَبْسِ الرَّشِيدِ بِالرَّافِقَةِ لِثَلَاثٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ مُحَرَّمِ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَبْعِينَ، وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ابْنُهُ الْفَضْلُ، وَدُفِنَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْفُرَاتِ فِي رَبَضِ هَرْثَمَةَ، وَوُجِدَ فِي جَيْبِهِ رُقْعَةٌ حِينَ مَاتَ، مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهَا بِخَطِّهِ: "قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ الْخَصْمُ وَالْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ بِالْأَثَرِ، وَالْقَاضِي هُوَ الْحَكَمُ الْعَدْلُ الَّذِي لَا يَجُورُ وَلَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى بَيِّنَةٍ". فَحُمِلَتِ الرُّقْعَةُ إِلَى الرَّشِيدِ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَبْكِي يَوْمَهُ، وَبَقِيَ أَيَّامًا يُتَبَيَّنُ الْأَسَى فِي وَجْهِهِ. وَعُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ مُقَدَّمٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ.

Translation

✧ Those of the notables who died in this year Asad b. ʿAmr b. ʿĀmir, Abū al-Mundhir al-Bajalī al-Kūfī Asad b. ʿAmr b. ʿĀmir, Abū al-Mundhir al-Bajalī al-Kūfī, the companion of Abū Ḥanīfah. He studied jurisprudence and heard from Ḥajjāj b. Arṭāʾah. Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal and others narrated from him. He had held the judgeship in Baghdad and in Wāsiṭ, but he perceived something wrong with his eyesight, so he returned the records and withdrew from the judgeship. Yaḥyā declared him trustworthy, and Aḥmad said: He was truthful. ʿAlī and al-Bukhārī declared him weak. He died in this year. Ḥakkām b. Salm al-Kinānī al-Rāzī, Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Ḥakkām b. Salm al-Kinānī al-Rāzī, Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān. He heard from Ismāʿīl b. Khālid, al-Zubayr b. ʿAdī, Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl, and al-Thawrī. Yaḥyā b. Maʿīn and Abū Maʿmar al-Hudhalī narrated from him. He was trustworthy. And on the authority of Abū Isḥāq, from al-Barāʾ, who said: I saw three hundred of the people of Badr, and there was not one among them who did not wish that his companion would suffice him in giving legal opinions. Ḥakkām died in Makkah in this year before he performed the pilgrimage. Saʿdūn al-Majnūn Saʿdūn al-Majnūn. On the authority of ʿUthmān b. Muḥammad al-ʿUthmānī, who said: It was read to Abū al-Ḥasan Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. ʿĪsā while I was present. He said: I heard Yūsuf say: Al-Fatḥ b. Shakhraf said: Saʿdūn was a man of love for God. He fasted for sixty years until his mind became light, and the people called him mad because of his repeated speech about love. He disappeared from us for a time. While I was standing in the circle of Dhū al-Nūn, I saw on him a woolen cloak, and on it was written: "It is not to be sold and not to be bought." He heard the speech of Dhū al-Nūn, cried out, and began to say: There is no good in complaining to one who is not the object of the complaint, and there must be complaint when there is no patience. And on the authority of ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Qurrah, who said: Al-Aṣmaʿī said: I passed by Saʿdūn, and there he was sitting at the head of a drunken old man, defending him. I said: Saʿdūn, why do I see you sitting at the head of this old man? He said: He is mad. I said to him: Are you the mad one or is he? He said: No, rather he is. I said: From what do you say that? He said: Because I prayed the noon and afternoon prayers in congregation, while he did not pray in congregation or alone. I said: Did you say anything about that? He said: I left date wine to the people of date wine, and I began to drink pure water, because date wine humiliates the mighty and clothes the bright faces with blackness. If that was permissible for youth, what is the excuse for it when gray hair appears? I said to him: You have spoken truth. And I departed. 1038 - ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar b. Ghānim, Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ruʿaynī. He was born in the year 128 AH and traveled in search of knowledge. He narrated from Mālik and others. He was one of the trustworthy and reliable transmitters. He held the judgeship in Ifrīqiyah and died in Rabīʿ al-Ākhir of this year. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Wāṣil, Abū ʿUbaydah al-Ḥaddād ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Wāṣil, Abū ʿUbaydah al-Ḥaddād, client of Sadūs. He heard Saʿīd b. Abī ʿArūbah and Shuʿbah. He was a Basran who settled in Baghdad and narrated there. Aḥmad and others narrated from him, as did Yaḥyā and Abū Khaythamah. He was trustworthy, one of the firmly established transmitters. He died in this year. ʿUbaydah b. Ḥumayd b. Ṣuhayb, Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Taymī ʿUbaydah b. Ḥumayd b.

Ḥumayd was trustworthy and righteous, sound in hadith, a master of grammar and Arabic, and recitation of the Qurʾān. He was from the people of al-Kūfah, then he came to Baghdad in the days of Hārūn al-Rashīd, and he placed him with his son Muḥammad, and he remained with him until he died. ʿAṭāʾ b. Muslim, Abū Makhlad al-Khaffāf al-Ḥalabī ʿAṭāʾ b. Muslim, Abū Makhlad al-Khaffāf al-Ḥalabī. He came to Baghdad and narrated from al-Aʿmash. Yaḥyā and Abū Dāwūd said: He was trustworthy. And on the authority of Muḥammad b. Abī Sukaynah, who said: I entered upon ʿAṭāʾ b. Muslim to visit him during his illness, and I had hardly stood up when he said: May God reward you well as a visitor, but ʿĪsā b. Ṣāliḥ, may God not reward him well. He visited me and did not leave until I urinated in my clothes. ʿAṭāʾ died in Ramaḍān of this year. Yaḥyā b. Khālid b. Barmak, Abū ʿAlī Yaḥyā b. Khālid b. Barmak, Abū ʿAlī. Al-Mahdī had entrusted Hārūn al-Rashīd to him and placed him in his care. When Hārūn became caliph, he acknowledged Yaḥyā's right and honored him. When he mentioned him, he would say: My father said. He made the issuing and receiving of affairs his responsibility, until he brought down the Barmakids, became angry with him, and imprisoned him for life until he died in prison. He had excellent speech and vast generosity. Among his sayings: A man's gatekeeper is his agent over his honor. He said: Whoever reaches a rank and becomes arrogant because of it shows that his true place is below it. He said: The blackness of a man's servants indicates his generosity. He said to his son: Take from everyone a part, for whoever is ignorant of something will oppose it. And on the authority of Abū Bakr Muḥammad b. Yaḥyā al-Nadīm, who said: Yaḥyā b. Khālid said: Three things indicate the intellects of their possessors: the gift, the letter, and the messenger. He used to say to his children: Write down the best of what you hear, memorize the best of what you write, and speak of the best of what you memorize. Ibn ʿImrān said: With his chain of transmission, he said: Yaḥyā b. Khālid used to say: When the world comes to you, spend, for it does not perish; and when it turns away, spend, for it does not remain. And on the authority of al-Zubayr b. Bakkār, who said: I heard Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm say: Yaḥyā b. Khālid's gifts, when he rode out, to anyone who presented himself before him were two hundred dirhams. One day he rode out, and a man of letters, a poet, presented himself and said: O namesake of the chaste one, Yaḥyā, two gardens of your Lord's bounty have been prepared for you. Everyone who passes by you on the road has two hundred of your gifts. Two hundred dirhams for one like me is little; it is from you for the one who seeks fire quickly. Yaḥyā said: You have spoken truth. He ordered him taken to his house. When he returned from the caliph's palace, he asked him about his situation. He mentioned that he had married and was faced with one of three options: either pay the dowry, which was four thousand dirhams; or divorce; or provide for the woman until he could arrange to bring her. Yaḥyā ordered for him four thousand for the dowry, four thousand for the price of a house, four thousand for what the house needed, four thousand for building, and four thousand as reserve. He took twenty thousand dirhams. And on the authority of Ḥusayn b. Fahm, who said: Ibn al-Mawṣilī said: My father narrated to me, saying: I came to Yaḥyā b. Khālid b. Barmak and complained to him of straitened circumstances. He said: Woe to you! What can I do for you? We have nothing at this time, but here is a matter I will guide you to. Be a man in it. The deputy of the ruler of Egypt has come to me asking me to request something as a gift from his master, and I refused that. He insisted, and it has reached me that you gave for your slave girl so-and-so thousands of dinars. Now I will request her from him as a gift and tell him that she pleased me. Beware of selling her for less than thirty thousand dinars, and see how it goes. He said: By God, before I knew it, the man came to me and bargained with me for the slave girl. I said: I will not reduce her below thirty thousand dinars. He kept bargaining until he offered me twenty thousand dinars. When I heard that, my heart weakened and I could not refuse, so I sold her and took the twenty thousand. I went to Yaḥyā b. Khālid, and he said to me: How did you do in selling your slave girl? I informed him and said: By God, I could not control myself from accepting the twenty thousand when I heard it. He said: You are base. This is the deputy of the ruler of Fārs. He has come to me about something similar. Take your slave girl, and when he bargains with you for her, do not reduce her below fifty thousand dinars, for he will surely buy her from you for that. He said: The man came to me and I asked fifty thousand dinars for her. He kept bargaining until he gave me thirty thousand dinars. My heart weakened and I could not refuse, and I did not believe it, so I bound her to him for it. Then I went to Yaḥyā b. Khālid, and he said to me: For how much did you sell the slave girl? I informed him. He said: Woe to you! Did not the first lesson discipline you against the second? I said: By God, my heart weakened from refusing something I had not hoped for. He said: This is your slave girl; take her back. He said: A slave girl for whom I paid fifty thousand dinars as ransom, then I own her. I call you as witness that she is free and that I have married her. And Abū Bakr b. Thābit al-Khaṭīb said: It reached us that al-Rashīd sent Ṣāliḥ, the keeper of the prayer place, to Manṣūr b. Ziyād, saying to him: You owe ten thousand dirhams. Bring them to me today. If he does so before sunset, fine; otherwise take his head and bring it to me, and do not refer back to me. Ṣāliḥ said: I went out to Manṣūr and informed him. He said: By God, my soul is lost. By God, I cannot manage three hundred thousand dirhams, let alone ten thousand. Ṣāliḥ said to him: Consider what is more beneficial for you than this talk. He said to him: Take me to my family so that I may make my will. When he entered upon them, the clamor of the women and slave girls rose. He said to Ṣāliḥ: Take us to Yaḥyā b. Khālid; perhaps God will bring relief through his hand. He went with him, and he entered upon Yaḥyā weeping. He said: What is the matter with you? He told him the story. He bowed his head in thought, then called a slave girl and said: How much money do you have? She said: Five thousand thousand dirhams. He said: Bring it. Then he sent to al-Faḍl and said to him: My son, you had told me that you wanted to buy an estate for two thousand thousand dirhams. I have found for you an estate that yields sugar and lasts forever; send it to me. He sent it. He sent to Jaʿfar and said: My son, send me one thousand thousand dirhams for a debt I owe. He sent it. He thought for a moment, then said to a servant at his head: Send to me Danānīr and tell her to bring the necklace that the Commander of the Faithful gave her, so that I may give it as a gift. He said: This is the necklace of the Commander of the Faithful, worth one hundred and twenty thousand dinars. He had given it to Danānīr, and we have valued it for you at two thousand thousand dirhams to complete the amount. Release our friend. I took that and brought Manṣūr back with me. When we reached the door, Manṣūr recited: You did not leave me with anything, but you feared the cold of arrows. Ṣāliḥ said: I said to myself: There is no one more generous than Yaḥyā, and no one more vile in nature than this Nabatean, since he did not thank the one who saved his life. I went to al-Rashīd and informed him of what happened, except for the recitation of the verse, fearing that he would kill him. Al-Rashīd said: I knew that he would not be saved except by the people of this house. Take the money and return the necklace, for I would not give a gift and then take it back. Ṣāliḥ said: My anger at Manṣūr made me inform Yaḥyā of what he recited. Yaḥyā began to excuse him for the treachery and said: A fearful man's mind cannot be relied upon, and he may say what he does not believe. I said: By God, I do not know which of your two actions amazes me more, your action with him or your excuse for him. But I know that time will never bring the like of you. Yaḥyā b. Khālid used to give Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah one thousand dirhams every month. Sufyān was heard saying in his prostration: O God, Yaḥyā has taken care of my worldly affairs, so take care of his affairs in the hereafter. When Yaḥyā died, one of his brothers saw him in a dream and said to him: What did God do with you? He said: He forgave me because of Sufyān's supplication. And on the authority of Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar b. Yaḥyā b. Khālid b. Barmak, who said: My father said to his father, Yaḥyā b. Khālid b. Barmak, while he was in fetters, wearing wool, and imprisoned: O father, after command and prohibition and immense wealth, time has brought us to fetters, wearing wool, and imprisonment? His father said to him: My son, the supplication of an oppressed person that traveled by night while we were heedless of it, and God was not heedless of it. Then he began to recite: Many a people went forth in blessing for a time, while time was full and abundant. Time was silent about them for a while, then made them weep blood when it spoke. Yaḥyā died in al-Rashīd's prison at al-Rāfiqah on the third of Muḥarram in this year, at the age of seventy. His son al-Faḍl prayed over him, and he was buried on the bank of the Euphrates in the suburb of Harthamah. When he died, a slip of paper was found in his pocket, written in his own hand: "The opponent has preceded the defendant with traces, and the judge is the just arbiter who does not oppress and needs no evidence." The slip was taken to al-Rashīd, and he wept all that day, and for days grief was visible on his face. And ʿUmar b. ʿAlī b. ʿAṭāʾ b. Muqaddam al-Muqaddamī al-Baṣrī.
