[Al-Maymūnī:] No creo haber visto nunca a nadie que mantuviera sus ropas tan limpias como Ibn Ḥanbal, ni que cuidara tanto su cabello, su bigote y el vello de su cuerpo, ni a nadie cuya vestimenta fuera tan impecablemente blanca como la suya. 37.1

[Al-Maymūnī:] I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone who kept his clothes as clean as Ibn Ḥanbal did, or took such good care of his hair, mustache, and body hair, or anyone whose clothing was as immaculately white as his. 37.1

[Al-Marrūdhī:] Aḥmad nunca fue a los baños públicos. Cuando necesitaba depilarse, lo hacía en casa. En más de una ocasión le preparé la pasta. También le compré un guante de cuero. Se lo ponía y se quitaba la pasta él mismo.195 37.2

[Al-Marrūdhī:] Aḥmad never went to the bathhouse. When he needed to depilate himself, he did it at home. I prepared the paste for him more than once. I also bought him a leather glove. He would put it on and remove the paste himself.195 37.2

[Abū l-ʿAbbās:] Una vez preparé una pasta depilatoria para Aḥmad y comencé a quitarle el vello. Cuando llegué a la zona púbica, él tomó el control. 37.3

[Abū l-ʿAbbās:] I once prepared a depilatory paste for Aḥmad and began removing his hair. When I reached the pubic area, he took over. 37.3
