حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الصَّائِغُ الْمَكِّيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ أَنْتَ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الشَّعْبِيِّ؟ فَقَالَ لِي الشَّعْبِيُّ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي بِسَنَةٍ أَوْ سَنَتَيْنِ قَالَ وَرَأَى أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَلِيًّا ؓ وَكَانَ يَصِفُهُ لَنَا «عَظِيمَ الْبَطْنِ أَجْلَحَ» قَالَ شُعْبَةُ «وَكَانَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْ أَبُو الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَلِيًّا وَلَمْ يَرَهُ»

✧ I asked Abu Ishaq, "Are you older than al-Sha'bi?" He said to me, "Al-Sha'bi is older than me by a year or two." He said: And Abu Ishaq saw Ali ؓ and used to describe him to us as "large-bellied, bald-headed." Shu'ba said, "Abu Ishaq was older than Abu al-Bakhtari, but Abu al-Bakhtari did not meet Ali and did not see him."
