[Muḥammad ibn Mihrān al-Jammāl:] Aḥmad Ibn Ḥanbal ya bayyana mini a mafarki sanye da alkyabba mai ratsi, ko kuma mai siffar lu'u-lu'u. Ya bayyana kamar yana Rey, yana ƙoƙarin zuwa sallar Juma'a. Na tambayi mai fassara mafarki ma'anar hakan. Ya ce Aḥmad zai shahara saboda wani babban aiki. Ba da daɗewa ba sai muka ji labarin abin da ya yi a lokacin Mihna. 92.1

[Muḥammad ibn Mihrān al-Jammāl:] Aḥmad Ibn Ḥanbal appeared to me in a dream wearing a striped mantle, or one with lozenges. He seemed to be in Rey, trying to get to Friday prayer. I asked a dream interpreter what it meant. He said Aḥmad would become renowned for some great deed. It wasn’t long after that we heard about what he had done during the Inquisition. 92.1

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ya ƙara da cewa: Na ji mahaifina yana cewa, "Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal ya bayyana mini a mafarki. Ya yi kama da wanda ya fi girman mutum, kuma yana da kyawawan siffofi. Na fara tambayarsa game da Hadisi, ina kwatanta rahotanni." 92.2

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān added: I heard my father say, “Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal appeared to me in a dream. He looked larger than life and had very beautiful features. I began asking him about Hadith and comparing reports.” 92.2
