[Al-Warrāq:] We’ve never heard of more people gathering in one place, whether in the Age of Ignorance or in the Age of Islam. We’ve even heard that the place was surveyed and a proper estimate made of the number of people there. It came to about a million, plus the sixty thousand or so women I counted looking on from the walls.

Mutane sun bude kofofin gidajensu a duk fadin tituna da kwararo ga duk wanda yake son ya shigo ya yi alwala. Haka kuma mutane sun sayi ruwan sha mai yawa. 83.3

The estimates I heard were of eight hundred thousand men and sixty thousand women.” [Mūsā ibn Hārūn:] The flat tracts of land where people stood after Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal died were surveyed and the number of people present was calculated to have been more than six hundred thousand, not counting the ones off to the side, around the edges, on the roofs, and scattered around, who if counted would have brought the total to more than a million. 83.5

[Abū Zurʿah:] I heard that al-Mutawakkil ordered a survey of the area where people were standing while the funeral prayer was said for Aḥmad. It turned out there was room for 2,500,000 people. 83.8

[Al-Ḥasan al-Maqāniʿī:] I was in Baghdad, alone in an orchard belonging to a friend, when I saw two men—one old, one young—dressed in ragged hair shirts. I greeted them and said, “You look like strangers here.” 83.9

“We are,” they said. “We’re from the Lukkām Mountains479 and we’re here for Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal’s funeral. Every one of God’s friends has come to see it.” [Al-Sulamī:] Abū l-Ḥasan al-Dāraquṭnī and I attended the funeral of Abū l-Fatḥ al-Qawwās the renunciant. Seeing the crowd, al-Dāraquṭnī said, “I’ve heard Abū Sahl ibn Ziyād al-Qaṭṭān say that he heard ʿAbd Allāh, son of Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, say that he heard his father say: ‘Tell the innovators that if we compare funerals, we win.’” 83.10
