سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ السُّلَمِيَّ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُوسَى، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ الصُّولِيَّ، يَقُولُ: نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، نا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ،
قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْفَرَّاءِ أَعُودُهُ، فَأَطَلْتُ وَأَلْحَفْتُ فِي السُّؤَالِ، فَقَالَ لِي: ادْنُ، فَدَنَوْتُ، فَأَنْشَدَنِي: [البحر البسيط] حَقُّ الْعِيَادَةِ يَوْمٌ بَيْنَ يَوْمَيْنِ... وَجِلْسَةٌ مِثْلُ لَحْظِ الطَّرْفِ بِالْعَيْنِ لَا تُبْرِمَنَّ مَرِيضًا فِي مَسَائِلِهِ... يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ ذَاكَ تَسْأَلُ مَا بِحَرْفَيْنِ

He said: I went in to visit al-Farrāʾ, who was ill, and I stayed long and pressed him with questions. He said to me: Come closer. So I came closer, and he recited to me: [Meter: al-Basīṭ] The due of a visit is a day between two days... and a sitting as brief as a glance of the eye. Do not weary a sick man with your questions... it is enough for you to ask him just two words.
