لِحِدَّةِ فِرَاسَتِهِ. رَوَى عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ الضَّرِيرِ وَطَبَقَتِهِ، وَعَنْهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحَوَارِيِّ، وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، وَأَبُو زُرْعَةَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، وَغَيْرُهُمْ. رَوَى عَنْهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحِوَارِيِّ، عَنْ مَخْلَدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ قَالَ: مَرَرْتُ بِالْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَقْتَ السَّحَرِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، مِثْلُكَ يَجْلِسُ فِي هَذَا الْوَقْتِ ؟ ! قَالَ: إِنِّي قَدْ تَوَضَّأْتُ فَأَرَدْتُهَا أَنْ تَقُومَ فَتُصَلِّيَ فَأَبَتْ عَلَيَّ، وَأَرَادَتْنِي عَلَى أَنْ تَنَامَ فَأَبَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا. وَمِنْ مُسْتَجَادِ كَلَامِهِ ; قَوْلُهُ: إِذَا أَرَدْتَ صَلَاحَ قَلْبِكَ فَاسْتَعِنْ عَلَيْهِ بِحِفْظِ لِسَانِكَ. وَقَالَ: مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ الْبَارِدَةِ أَنْ تُصْلِحَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِكَ فَيُغْفَرَ لَكَ مَا مَضَى مِنْهُ، وَقَالَ: يَسِيرُ الْيَقِينِ يُخْرِجُ الشَّكَّ كُلَّهُ مِنَ الْقَلْبِ، وَيَسِيرُ الشَّكِّ يُخْرِجُ الْيَقِينَ كُلَّهُ مِنْهُ، وَقَالَ: مَنْ كَانَ بِاللَّهِ أَعْرَفَ كَانَ لَهُ أُخْوَفَ. وَقَالَ: خَيْرُ صَاحِبٍ لَكَ فِي دُنْيَاكَ الْهَمُّ يَقْطَعُكَ عَنِ الدُّنْيَا، وَيُوصِلُكَ إِلَى الْآخِرَةِ، وَمِنْ شِعْرِهِ، رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ: هَمَمْتُ وَلَمْ أَعْزِمْ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ صَادِقًا عَزَمْتُ وَلَكِنَّ الْفِطَانَ شَدِيدُ وَلَوْ كَانَ لِي عَقْلٌ وَإِيقَانُ مُوقِنٍ لَمَا كُنْتُ عَنْ قَصْدِ الطَّرِيقِ أَحِيدُ وَلَا كَانَ فِي شَكِّ الْيَقِينِ مَطَامِعِي وَلَكِنْ عَنِ الْأَقْدَارِ كَيْفَ أَحِيدُ وَمِنْ شِعْرِهِ أَيْضًا: دَاعِيَاتُ الْهَوَى تَخِفُّ عَلَيْنَا وَخِلَافُ الْهَوَى عَلَيْنَا ثَقِيلُ فُقِدَ الصِّدْقُ فِي الْأَمَاكِنِ حَتَّى وَصْفُهُ الْيَوْمَ مَا عَلِيْهِ دَلِيلُ لَا نَرَى خَائِفًا فَيَلْزَمَنَا الْخَوْ فُ وَلَا صَادِقًا بِمَا قَدْ يَقُولُ فَبَقِينَا مُذَبْذَبِينَ حَيَارَى نَطْلُبُ الصَّدْقَ مَا إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلُ وَمِنْ شَعْرِهِ أَيْضًا: هَوِّنْ عَلَيْكَ فَكُلُّ الْأَمْرِ يَنْقَطِعُ وَخَلِّ عَنْكَ عِنَانَ الْهَمِّ يَنْدَفِعُ فَكُلُّ هَمٍّ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَرَجٌ وَكُلُّ كَرْبٍ إِذَا ضَاقَ يَتَّسِعُ إِنَّ الْبَلَاءَ وَإِنَّ طَالَ الزَّمَانُ بِهِ الْمَوْتُ يَقْطَعُهُ أَوْ سَوْفَ يَنْقَطِعُ وَقَدْ أَطَالَ الْحَافِظُ ابْنُ عَسَاكِرَ تَرْجَمَتَهُ، وَلَمْ يُؤَرِّخْ وَفَاتَهُ، وَإِنَّمَا ذَكَرْتُهُ هَاهُنَا تَقْرِيبًا، وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالصَّوَابِ.

✧ Mention of the notables who died in this year Ibrāhīm b. Ḥibbān b. Ibrāhīm Ibrāhīm b. Ḥibbān b. Ibrāhīm, Abū Isḥāq al-Murādī. He related from ʿAmr b. Ḥukkām, and he was a ḥāfiẓ, thiqah, [ṣāliḥ].

Abī Shaybah was one of the descendants of Abū Suʿdah, the one against whom Saʿd b. Abī Waqqāṣ prayed. ʿUthmān traveled to the lands, wrote much, and compiled the "Musnad" and the "Tafsīr." He related from Sharīk b. ʿAbd Allāh, Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah, Hushaym, and many others. Narrated from him: al-Bāghandī, al-Baghawī, and others. He was thiqah. He died in [Muḥarram] of this year. Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. Abī Duʾād Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. Abī Duʾād, Abū al-Walīd al-Iyādī, the judge. Al-Mutawakkil appointed him to the judiciary and the maẓālim of the army after his father became paralyzed. He was miserly, contrary to what his father had been. ʿUbayd Allāh b. Aḥmad b. Ṭāhir said, on the authority of his father: Al-Mutawakkil dismissed Abū al-Walīd Muḥammad b. Abī Duʾād from the maẓālim of the army in the year two hundred thirty-seven, and appointed Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm b. al-Rabīʿ al-Anbārī to them. Then Abū al-Walīd was dismissed on Thursday, five nights having passed of Rabīʿ al-Awwal, from the office of chief judge, and Yaḥyā b. Aktham was appointed chief judge. Then he dismissed Ibn al-Rabīʿ from the maẓālim and appointed Yaḥyā b. Aktham to them in the year two hundred thirty-seven. Abū al-Walīd was dismissed on Wednesday, ten nights remaining of Ṣafar, and was imprisoned on Saturday, three nights having passed of Rabīʿ al-Ākhir, in the dīwān of the kharāj, and his brothers were imprisoned by ʿUbayd Allāh b. al-Sarī, the chief of police. Then, on Monday of that month, Abū al-Walīd paid one hundred thousand dinars and twenty thousand dinars, and jewels worth twenty thousand dinars. Then after that he was settled with for sixteen million dirhams, and he made them all witness the sale of all his estates to them. Aḥmad b. Abī Duʾād had become paralyzed. Then on Wednesday, seven nights having passed of Ramaḍān, al-Mutawakkil ordered all the sons of Aḥmad b. Abī Duʾād to be sent down to Baghdād. Abū al-Walīd died at the end of the year two hundred thirty-nine, and his father died twenty days after him [in Baghdād], paralyzed. Wahb b. Baqiyyah Wahb b. Baqiyyah, Abū Muḥammad al-Wāsiṭī, known as Wahbān. He heard Ḥammād b. Zayd and Hushaym. Narrated from him: al-Bukhārī and Muslim. He was thiqah. He died in this year. Maḥmūd b. Ghaylān al-Marwazī In it died Maḥmūd b. Ghaylān al-Marwazī, Abū Aḥmad, one of the shaykhs of al-Bukhārī, Muslim, and al-Tirmidhī. Among the notables who died in it: Ṣafwān b. Ṣāliḥ, the muʾadhdhin of the people of Damascus; ʿAbd al-Malik b. Ḥabīb, the Mālikī jurist, one of the famous; and Muḥammad b. Mihrān al-Rāzī. And Aḥmad b. ʿĀṣim al-Anṭākī, Abū ʿAlī, the preacher and ascetic, one of the devoted worshippers. He has fine words on asceticism and the dealings of hearts. Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Sulamī said: He was of the class of al-Ḥārith al-Muḥāsibī and Bishr al-Ḥāfī, and Abū Sulaymān al-Dārānī used to call him "the spy of hearts" because of the sharpness of his insight. He related from Abū Muʿāwiyah al-Ḍarīr and his class. From him related Aḥmad b. Abī al-Ḥawārī, Maḥmūd b. Khālid, Abū Zurʿah al-Dimashqī, and others. Aḥmad b. Abī al-Ḥawārī related from him, from Makhlad b. al-Ḥusayn, from Hishām b. Ḥassān, who said: I passed by al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī while he was sitting at the time of saḥar, and I said: O Abū Saʿīd, would someone like you sit at this time?! He said: I had performed wuḍūʾ and I wanted it to stand and pray, but it refused me, and it wanted me to sleep, but I refused it. Among his excellent words is his saying: If you want your heart to be sound, seek help for it by guarding your tongue. He said: It is among the cool booty that you set right what remains of your life so that what has passed of it may be forgiven you. He said: A little certainty removes all doubt from the heart, and a little doubt removes all certainty from it. He said: Whoever is more knowing of God is more fearful of Him. He said: The best companion for you in this world is anxiety, which cuts you off from this world and connects you to the Hereafter. From his poetry, may God have mercy on him: I resolved but did not decide; had I been truthful, I would have decided, but the temptations are severe. Had I intelligence and the certainty of one who is certain, I would not stray from the intended path. Nor would my ambitions be in the doubt of certainty, But how can I stray from the decrees? And also from his poetry: The calls of passion are light upon us, And opposing passion is heavy upon us. Truthfulness has been lost in all places, so that Its description today has no guide. We see no one fearful, so fear would be incumbent upon us, Nor truthful in what he may say. So we remain wavering, bewildered, Seeking truthfulness, but there is no way to it. And also from his poetry: Take it lightly upon yourself, for every matter comes to an end, And release from you the rein of anxiety, and it will be repelled. For every anxiety has after it a relief, And every distress, when it tightens, expands. Indeed, tribulation, even if time prolongs it, Death cuts it off, or it will soon end. Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn ʿAsākir gave a lengthy biography of him but did not date his death. I have mentioned him here only as an approximation. And God knows best what is correct.
