[Bilāl al-Khawwāṣ:] Ina cikin hamadar Banu Isra'ila sai ga wani mutum yana tafiya a gefena, na yi mamaki, amma sai aka sanar da ni cewa shi al-Khaḍir ne. 16.1

[Bilāl al-Khawwāṣ:] I was in the desert of the Israelites when suddenly I found a man walking beside me. I was surprised, but then I was given to realize that he was al- Khaḍir. 16.1

"Ina roƙonka da sunan Allah," na ce. "Wane ne kai?" "Ɗan'uwanka al-Khaḍir." "Ina so in tambaye ka wani abu." "Ci gaba." "Me kake ganin game da al-Shāfiʿī?" "Yana ɗaya daga cikin Ginshiƙan."105

“I ask you by God,” I said. “Who are you?” “Your brother al-Khaḍir.” “I want to ask you something.” “Go ahead.” “What do you think of al-Shāfiʿī?” “He’s one of the Pegs.”105

"Me game da Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal?" "Mai faɗar gaskiya."106

“What about Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal?” “A truth-teller.”106

"Me game da Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith fa?" "Shi ne na ƙarshe irinsa." "To ta yaya nake iya ganin ka?" "Saboda ka kasance mai kyautatawa mahaifiyarka." [Wani mutumin Baghdad:] Ina tafiya a cikin jirgin ruwa sai muka sauka a wani tsibiri. Akwai wani tsoho mai farin gashi zaune a wurin. Na yi masa sallama sai ya tambaye ni daga ina nake. 16.2

“What about Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith?” “He’s the last of his kind.” “So how is it that I’m able to see you?” “Because you were kind to your mother.” [A man of Baghdad:] I was traveling on a ship and we landed on an island. There was an elderly white-haired man sitting there. I greeted him and he asked me where I was from. 16.2

"Daga Baghdad," na ce.

“From Baghdad,” I said.

"Idan ka isa can," ya ce, "ka gaishe Ibn Ḥanbal daga gare ni, ka ce masa, «Ka yi haƙuri! Alkawarin Allah gaskiya ne; kada waɗanda ba sa yarda su sa ka karaya.»"107

“When you get there,” he said, “give Ibn Ḥanbal my regards, and tell him, «Have patience! God’s promise is true; let not those who will not be convinced make you discouraged.»”107

Sai ya ɓace, sai muka gane cewa shi ne al-Khaḍir.

Then he disappeared, and we realized that he was al-Khaḍir.
