[Al-Maymūnī:] Saya rasa belum pernah saya melihat seseorang yang menjaga pakaiannya setetap bersih seperti Ibn Ḥanbal, atau yang begitu memperhatikan rambut, kumis, dan bulu tubuhnya, atau yang pakaiannya seputih pakaiannya. 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 tidak pernah pergi ke pemandian umum. Ketika ia perlu menghilangkan bulu tubuhnya, ia melakukannya di rumah. Saya telah menyiapkan adonan penghilang bulu untuknya lebih dari sekali. Saya juga membelikannya sarung tangan kulit. Ia akan memakainya dan menghilangkan adonan itu sendiri.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: Aku pernah menyiapkan krim penghilang bulu untuk Aḥmad dan mulai mencukur rambutnya. Ketika sampai di area kemaluan, dia mengambil alih. 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
