أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْخَفَّافُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْخَلِيلِ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ بِنَيْسَابُورَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ
قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَعَ زَافِرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَى الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ عِيَاضٍ بِالْكُوفَةِ فَإِذَا الْفُضَيْلُ وَشَيْخٌ مَعَهُ - قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ زَافِرٌ وَأَقْعَدَنِي عَلَى الْبَابِ - قَالَ زَافِرٌ: فَجَعَلَ الْفُضَيْلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَبَا سُلَيْمَانَ، هَؤُلَاءِ أَصْحَابُ الْحَدِيثِ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ قُرْبِ الْإِسْنَادِ، أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِإِسْنَادٍ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ، رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، عَنِ اللهِ {نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةِ عَلَيْهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ} [التحريم: 6] قَرَأَ الْآيَةَ فَأَنَا وَأَنْتَ يَا أَبَا سُلَيْمَانَ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَالَ: " ثُمَّ غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ، وَعَلَى الشَّيْخِ وَجَعَلَ زَافِرٌ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمَا قَالَ: ثُمَّ تَحَرَّكَ الْفُضَيْلُ فَخَرَجَ زَافِرٌ وَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ وَالشَّيْخُ مَغْشِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ "

Machine translation, not reviewed
He said: I entered with Zāfir b. Sulaymān upon al-Fuḍayl b. ʿIyāḍ in Kufa, and there was al-Fuḍayl with an old man beside him. He said: Zāfir entered and sat me down at the door. Zāfir said: Al-Fuḍayl began looking at me, then said: "O Abū Sulaymān, these are the people of ḥadīth; nothing is dearer to them than a short chain of transmission. Shall I not tell you of a chain about which there is no doubt? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, from Jibrīl, peace be upon him, from Allah: {a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are angels, harsh and severe} [al-Taḥrīm: 6]" He recited the verse, "and you and I, O Abū Sulaymān, are among the people." He said: Then he fainted, and so did the old man, and Zāfir kept looking at the two of them. He said: Then al-Fuḍayl stirred, so Zāfir went out and I went out with him, while the old man was still unconscious.
