أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حدثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أخبرنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جَابِرٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ سَعْدٌ
أَنَّهُ أَتَى ابْنَ مُنَبِّهٍ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، وقَالَ لَهُ: كَيْفَ عَقْلُهُ؟ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ مُنَبِّهٍ: " إِنَّا لنَتَحَدَّثُ، أَوْ نَجِدُ فِي الْكِتَابِ أَنَّهُ مَا آتَى الله عَبْدًا عِلْمًا فَعَمِلَ بِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَيَسْلُبُهُ عَقْلَهُ حَتَّى يَقْبِضَهُ إِلَيْهِ " قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ: قَالَ أَبِي: " مَا أُحْصِر كَمْ سَأَلَنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ حَدِيثِ الْبَصْرِيِّ؟ يَقُولُ: يَا وَلِيدُ، حَدِّثْنِي بِحَدِيثِ الْبَصْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ "

That he came to Ibn Munabbih and asked him about al-Ḥasan b. Abī al-Ḥasan, and said to him: "How is his intellect?" So he informed him. Ibn Munabbih said: "We relate, or we find in the Book, that God does not give a servant knowledge and he acts upon it in the way of God, and then takes away his intellect, until He takes him to Himself." Al-ʿAbbās said: My father said: "I cannot count how many times al-Awzāʿī asked me about the hadith of al-Baṣrī. He would say: 'O Walīd, narrate to me the hadith of al-Baṣrī, from Ibn Munabbih.'"
