[فَلَمْ أَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ] قُلْتُ: أَبِالْوَادِي الْمُقَدَّسِ أَنَا فَأَخْلَعَ نَعْلَيَّ؟! فَدَخَلْتُ بِنَعْلَيَّ، فَرَفَعَ مَجْلِسِي وَجَلَسْتُ عَلَى مُصَلَّاهُ، فَقَالَ: أَتْعَبْنَاكَ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ؟ فَقُلْتُ: أَتْعَبْتَنِي وَذَعَرْتَنِي فَكَيْفَ بِكَ إِذَا سُئِلْتَ عَنِّي؟ فَقَالَ: مَا أَرَدْنَا إِلَّا الْخَيْرَ، أَرَدْنَا [أَنْ] نَسْمَعَ الْعِلْمَ. قُلْتُ: وَتَسْمَعُ الْعِلْمَ أَيْضًا؟ أَلَا جِئْتَنِي؟ فَإِنَّ الْعِلْمَ يُؤْتَى وَلَا يَأْتِي. قَالَ نَعْتِبُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ، فَقُلْتُ: لَهُ خَلَبْتَنِي بِحُسْنِ أَدَبِكَ، اكْتُبْ [مَا شِئْتَ]. قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ الْكِتَابَ وَالدَّوَاةَ وَالْقِرْطَاسَ، فَقُلْتُ: أَتَكْتُبُ حَدِيثَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي قِرْطَاسٍ بِمِدَادٍ؟ قَالَ: فِيمَ أَكْتُبُ؟ قُلْتُ: فِي رَقٍّ بِحِبْرٍ، فَجَاءُوا بِرَقٍّ وَحِبْرٍ، فَأَخَذَ الْكَاتِبُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ. فَقُلْتُ: اكْتُبْ بِخَطِّكَ! فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ لَا يُحْسِنُ، فَأَمْلَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَدِيثَيْنِ أَسْخَنَ اللَّهُ بِهِمَا عَيْنَيْهِ. فَسُئِلُ: أَيُّ حَدِيثَيْنِ؟ [فَقَالَ]: قُلْتُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: "مَنِ اسْتَرْعَى رَعِيَّةً فَلَمْ يُحِطْهَا بِالنَّصِيحَةِ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ". وَالثَّانِي: "مَا مِنْ أَمِيرٍ يَأْمُرُ عَشَرَةً إِلَّا يُؤْتَى بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَغْلُولًا". أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ، أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، وَيُعْرَفُ بِخُشَيْشٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ، أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، وَيُعْرَفُ بِخُشَيْشٍ. كُوفِيُّ

رَأَيْتُ سَاقَهُ، وَأَنَا مِلْكٌ لَهُ. وعن أَبُو حَامِدِ [بْنُ] الشَّرْقِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَمْرٍو الْخَفَّافَ يَقُولُ: رَأَيْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَحْيَى فِي النَّوْمِ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، مَا فَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكَ؟ فَقَالَ: غَفَرَ لِي. قُلْتُ: فَمَا فَعَلَ عِلْمُكَ؟ قَالَ: كُتِبَ بِمَاءِ الذَّهَبِ، وَرُفِعَ إِلَى عِلِّيِّينَ. يَحْيَى بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا الرَّازِيُّ الْوَاعِظُ يَحْيَى بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا الرَّازِيُّ الْوَاعِظُ. سَمِعَ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّازِيَّ، وَمَكِّيَّ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبَلْخِيَّ، وَعَلِيَّ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ

بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الرَّازِيُّ وَلَهُ شَيْبَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ، وَقَدْ لَبِسَ دَسْتَ ثِيَابٍ أَسْوَدَ، فَكَانَ أَحْسَنَ شَيْءٍ، فَصَعِدَ الْكُرْسِيَّ فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ، وَأَوَّلُ مَا بَدَأَ بِهِ أَنْشَأَ يَقُولُ: مَوَاعِظُ الْوَاعِظِ لَنْ تُقْبَلَا حَتَّى يَعِيَهَا تِلْبُهُ أَوَّلَا يَا قَوْمُ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِنْ وَاعِظٍ خَالَفَ مَا قَدْ قَالَهُ فِي الْمَلَا أَظْهَرَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ إِحْسَانَهُ وَبَارَزَ الرَّحِمَانَ لَمَّا خَلَا وَسَقَطَ عَنِ الْكُرْسِيِّ، وَغُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ مَلَكَ قُلُوبَ أَهْلِ شِيرَازَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، حَتَّى إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُضْحِكَهُمْ أَضْحَكَهُمْ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُبْكِيَهُمْ أَبْكَاهُمْ، وَأَخَذَ سَبْعَةَ آلَافِ دِينَارٍ مِنَ الْبَلَدِ. وقَالَ أَبُو عَمْرٍو مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الصَّرَّامُ: دَخَلَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الرَّازِيُّ عَلَى عَلَوِيٍّ بِبَلْخَ زَائِرًا لَهُ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ الْعَلَوِيُّ لِيَحْيَى: أَيَّدَ اللَّهُ الْأُسْتَاذَ، مَا تَقُولُ فِينَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا أَقُولُ فِي طِينٍ عُجِنَ بِمَاءِ الْوَحْيِ وَغُرِسَ بِمَاءِ الرِّسَالَةِ، فَهَلْ يَفُوحُ مِنْهُمَا إِلَّا مِسْكُ الْهُدَى، وَعَنْبَرُ التُّقَى؟! قَالَ: فَحَشَا الْعَلَوِيُّ فَاهُ بِالدُّرِّ. ثُمَّ زَارَهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ مُعَاذٍ: إِنْ زُرْتَنَا فَبِفَضْلِكَ، وَإِنْ زُرْنَاكَ فَلِفَضْلِكَ، فَلَكَ الْفَضْلُ زَائِرًا وَمَزُورًا. وعن مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَلِّكَانَ قال: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مُعَاذٍ يَقُولُ: مَنْ خَانَ اللَّهَ فِي السِّرِّ هَتَكَ سِتْرَهُ فِي الْعَلَانِيَةِ. تُوُفِّيَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مُعَاذٍ بِنَيْسَابُورَ فِي جُمَادَى الْأُولَى مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، وَكُتِبَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ: مَاتَ حَكِيمُ الزَّمَانِ يَحْيَى بْنُ مُعَاذٍ. يَحْيَى بْنُ [عَبْدِ اللَّهِ] الْجَلَّاءُ يَحْيَى بْنُ [عَبْدِ اللَّهِ] الْجَلَّاءُ. صَحِبَ بِشْرَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا، قِيلَ لِابْنِهِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: لِمَ سُمِّيَ أَبُوكَ الْجَلَّاءَ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا جَلَا أَبِي قَطُّ شَيْئًا، وَمَا كَانَ لَهُ صَنْعَةٌ قَطُّ، كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَيَجْلُو الْقُلُوبَ، فَسُمِّيَ الْجَلَّاءَ. وعن أَبَا عَمْرٍو الدِّمَشْقِيَّ قال: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْجَلَّاءِ يَقُولُ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي وَأُمِّي: أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَهَبَانِي لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى، فَقَالَا: قَدْ وَهَبْنَاكَ لِلَّهِ، فَغِبْتُ عَنْهُمَا مُدَّةً فَرَجَعْتُ مِنْ غَيْبَتِي، وَكَانَتْ لَيْلَةً مَطِيرَةً فَدَقَقْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا الْبَابَ، فَقَالَا: مَنْ؟ فَقُلْتُ: وَلَدَكُمَا. قَالَا: كَانَ لَنَا وَلَدٌ فَوَهَبْنَاهُ لِلَّهِ، وَنَحْنُ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ لَا نَرْجِعُ فِيمَا وَهَبْنَا. وَمَا فَتَحَا لِي الْبَابَ. وعن أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْجَلَّاءُ قَالَ: مَاتَ أَبِي فَلَمَّا وُضِعَ فِي الْمُغْتَسَلِ رَأَيْنَاهُ يَضْحَكُ فَالْتَبَسَ عَلَى النَّاسِ أَمْرُهُ، فَجَاءُوا بِطَبِيبٍ، وَغَطُّوا وَجْهَهُ، فَأَخَذَ مِجَسَّةً فَقَالَ: هَذَا مَيِّتٌ، فَكَشَفُوا عَنْ وَجْهِهِ الثَّوْبَ فَرَآهُ يَضْحَكُ فَقَالَ الطَّبِيبُ: مَا أَدْرِي حَيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ مَيِّتٌ؟! وَكَانَ إِذَا جَاءَ إِنْسَانٌ لِيُغَسِّلَهُ لَبِسَتْهُ مِنْهُ هَيْبَةٌ وَلَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى غَسْلِهِ، حَتَّى جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ فَغَسَّلَهُ، وَكُفِّنَ وَصُلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، وَدُفِنَ. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، وَيُقَالُ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، وَيُقَالُ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ [بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ] مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ وَيُعْرَفُ بِالْجَمَّازِ. مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ، كَانَ شَاعِرًا أَدِيبًا مَاجِنًا، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: أَنَا أَكْبَرُ سِنًّا مِنْ أَبِي نَوَّاسٍ. دَخَلَ بَغْدَادَ فِي أَيَّامِ الرَّشِيدِ، وَفِي أَيَّامِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ. وعن يَمُوتُ بْنُ الْمُزْرِعِ قَالَ: جَلَسَ الْجَمَّازُ يَأْكُلُ عَلَى مَائِدَةٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، وَجَعْفَرٌ يَأْكُلُ عَلَى مَائِدَةٍ أُخْرَى مَعَ الْقَوْمِ، وَكَانَتِ الصَّحْفَةُ تُرْفَعُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْ جَعْفَرٍ وَتُوضَعُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْجَمَّازِ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ، فَرُبَّمَا جَاءَ قَلِيلٌ وَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يَجِئْ شَيْءٌ، فَقَالَ الْجَمَّازُ: أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ الْأَمِيرَ، مَا نَحْنُ الْيَوْمَ إِلَّا عُصْبَةٌ، وَرُبَّمَا فَضَلَ لَنَا بَعْضُ الْمَالِ، وَرُبَّمَا أَخَذَ أَهْلُ السِّهَامِ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ لَنَا شَيْءٌ. قَالَ: وَأَنْبَأْنَا يَمُوتُ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبِي وَالْجَمَّازُ يَمْشِيَانِ وَأَنَا خَلْفَهُمَا بِالْعَشِيِّ، فَمَرَرْنَا بِإِمَامٍ وَهُوَ يَنْتَظِرُ مَنْ يَمُرُّ بِهِ فَيُصَلِّي مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا رَآنَا أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ مُبَادِرًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْجَمَّازُ: دَعْ عَنْكَ هَذَا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يُتَلَقَّى الْجَلَبُ. وعن عَافِيَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ قَالَ: كُنَّا نُكْثِرُ الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الْجَمَّازِ عِنْدَ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَرَاهُ، وَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ حَمَلَهُ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ لَمْ يَقَعِ الْمَوْقِعَ الَّذِي أَرَدْنَاهُ، فَتَعَصَّبْنَا كُلُّنَا لَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُ: تَكَلَّمْ؛ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْتَبْرِئَكَ. فَقَالَ الْجَمَّازُ: بِحَيْضَةٍ أَوْ بِحَيْضَتَيْنِ؟ فَضَحِكَ الْجَمَاعَةُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْفَتْحُ: قَدْ كَلَّمْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِيكَ حَتَّى وَلَّاكَ جَزِيرَةَ الْقُرُودِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْجَمَّازُ: أَلَسْتَ فِي السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ؟! أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ! فَحَصَرَ الْفَتْحُ وَسَكَتَ، وَأَمَرَ لَهُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُ بِعَشَرَةِ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ، فَأَخَذَهَا، فَمَاتَ فَرَحًا بِهَا. وَمِمَّنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْأَعْيَانِ: وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ . وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْقَطَّانُ . وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْفُرَاتِ .

✧ Those of the notables who died in the year 258 AH Aḥmad b. Budayl b. Quraysh b. al-Ḥārith, Abū Jaʿfar al-Yāmī al-Kūfī Aḥmad b. Budayl b. Quraysh b. al-Ḥārith, Abū Jaʿfar al-Yāmī al-Kūfī. He heard Abū Bakr b. ʿAyyāsh, ʿAbd Allāh b. Idrīs, Ḥafṣ b. Ghiyāth, Muḥammad b. Fuḍayl, Wakīʿ, Abū Muʿāwiyah, and others. He was a man of knowledge and virtue. He held the judgeship of Kūfah and was called 'the monk of Kūfah.' When he was appointed, he used to say: 'I have been forsaken in my old age.' He also held the judgeship of Hamadhān. He came to Baghdad and narrated ḥadīth there. Ibn Ṣāʿid and others narrated from him. He died in this year. From al-Qāḍī Abū ʿUmar—that is Muḥammad b. Yūsuf—Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Maḥāmilī the judge, and Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. al-ʿAbbās al-Nūbakhtī, they said: Abū al-Qāsim ʿUbayd Allāh b. Sulaymān narrated to us, he said: I was a scribe for Mūsā b. Bughā, and we were at al-Rayy. Its judge at that time was Aḥmad b. Budayl al-Kūfī. Mūsā needed to consolidate an estate there in which he had shares and to develop it. In it there was a share belonging to an orphan. I went to Aḥmad b. Budayl—or he said: I summoned Aḥmad b. Budayl—and I spoke to him about selling the orphan's share on our behalf and taking the price. He refused and said: 'The orphan has no need to sell, and I do not feel safe selling his property when he is not in need of it, lest some mishap befall the wealth and I would have caused him loss.' I said: 'I will give you double its value for his share.' He said: 'That is no excuse for me to sell. The form of wealth, whether much or little, is the same.' He said: I tried every approach with him while he refused, and he wearied me. I said to him: 'O judge, will you not do it? For it is Mūsā b. Bughā!' He said to me: 'May God honor you, it is God, blessed and exalted be He!' He said: I felt ashamed before God Almighty to return to him after that, and I left him. I went in to Mūsā b. Bughā and he said: 'What did you accomplish regarding the estate?' I related the conversation to him. When he heard 'it is God, blessed and exalted be He,' he wept and kept repeating it, then said: 'Do not approach this estate. Look into the affair of this righteous old man. If he has any need, fulfill it.' He said: I brought him and said to him: 'The emir has excused you from the matter of the estate, because I explained to him what took place between us. He offers to fulfill your needs.' He said: He prayed for him and said: 'This action will better preserve your blessings. I have no need except the regular payment of my stipend, for it has been delayed for months and that has harmed me.' So a stipend was released for him. From Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm b. ʿAmrūs, he said: I heard Aḥmad b. Budayl al-Kūfī—and he was a judge—say: Al-Muʿtazz sent me messenger after messenger. I put on my cap and put on a single-layered pair of sandals. I came to his gate. The chamberlain said: 'O old man, your sandals!' I paid no attention to him and entered the second gate. The chamberlain said: 'Your sandals!' I paid no attention to him and entered the third gate. The chamberlain said: 'O old man, your sandals!' I paid no attention to him, then I said: 'Am I in the sacred valley that I should remove my sandals?!' I entered with my sandals on. He raised my seat and I sat on his prayer rug. He said: 'We have wearied you, Abū Jaʿfar.' I said: 'You have wearied me and frightened me. How will it be for you when you are asked about me?' He said: 'We intended only good. We wanted to hear knowledge.' I said: 'Do you also listen to knowledge? Should you not have come to me? Knowledge is visited; it does not visit.' He said: 'We will honor Abū Jaʿfar.' I said: 'You have beguiled me with your good manners. Write whatever you wish.' He said: He took the book, the inkwell, and the paper. I said: 'Will you write the ḥadīth of the Messenger of God ﷺ on paper with ink?' He said: 'On what shall I write?' I said: 'On parchment with ink.' They brought parchment and ink. The scribe took it, intending to write. I said: 'Write with your own hand!' He gestured to me that he could not. So I dictated to him two ḥadīths—may God cool his eyes with them. He was asked: 'Which two ḥadīths?' He said: I said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Whoever is entrusted with a flock and does not surround it with sincere counsel, God has forbidden Paradise to him.' And the second: 'There is no commander of ten but he will be brought on the Day of Resurrection in chains.' Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Sawādah, Abū al-ʿAbbās, known as Khushaysh Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b.

They said: We had a son, but we gave him to God; and we are Arabs—we do not take back what we have given. And they did not open the door for me. And from Abū ʿAbd Allāh Aḥmad b. Yaḥyā al-Jallāʾ who said: My father died, and when he was laid on the washing bench we saw him laughing, so people were confused about his state.

The dish would be lifted from before Jaʿfar and placed before al-Jammāz and those with him. Sometimes a little came and sometimes nothing came. Al-Jammāz said: May God keep the emir righteous; today we are but a band, and sometimes some money is left for us, and sometimes the people of the shares take it and nothing remains for us. He said: And Yamūt informed us, saying: My father and al-Jammāz were walking in the evening with me behind them. We passed by an imam who was waiting for someone to pass by him so he could pray with him. When he saw us he immediately began the prayer, hurrying. Al-Jammāz said to him: Leave this aside, for the Messenger of God ﷺ forbade that the oncoming caravan be met. And from ʿĀfiyah b. Shabīb al-Tamīmī who said: We used to speak frequently about al-Jammāz in the presence of al-Mutawakkil, and he wanted to see him. I was among those who brought him. When he entered upon him, he did not make the impression we had wanted, so we all became partisan for him. Al-Mutawakkil said to him: Speak, for I want to test you. Al-Jammāz said: With one menstruation or two? The assembly laughed, and al-Fatḥ said to him: I spoke to the Commander of the Faithful about you until he appointed you governor of the Island of the Apes. Al-Jammāz said to him: Are you not in hearing and obedience?! May God keep you righteous! So al-Fatḥ was confounded and fell silent. Al-Mutawakkil ordered ten thousand dirhams for him, and he took them and died of joy over them. Among the notables who died in this year: Aḥmad b. Ḥafṣ. Aḥmad b. Sinān al-Qaṭṭān. Aḥmad b. al-Furāt.
