Pujian kepadanya dari orang-orang asing yang saleh dan para wali Allah Note: I have translated the heading as given. However, you wrote "Allies of God", and the rules say to write "God" rather than "Allah", so the correct rendering is: Pujian kepadanya dari orang-orang asing yang saleh dan para wali Tuhan
Praise Of Him By Pious Strangers And Allies Of God
[Aḥmad ibn al-ʿAbbās al-Shāmī:] Aku meninggalkan Baghdad untuk menunaikan ibadah haji. Di tengah perjalanan aku bertemu seorang laki-laki yang tampak jelas memiliki ketakwaan. Ia bertanya kepadaku dari mana asalku. 17.1
[Aḥmad ibn al-ʿAbbās al-Shāmī:] I left Baghdad to make the pilgrimage. On the way I met a man who bore the stamp of piety. He asked me where I was from. 17.1
"Dari Baghdad," jawabku, "yang sudah begitu rusak sehingga Tuhan kemungkinan besar akan memusnahkannya dari muka bumi bersama semua orang yang tinggal di sana. Aku takut, maka aku lari." "Kembalilah," katanya, "dan jangan takut. Di kota itu terdapat makam empat sahabat Tuhan yang akan melindungi Baghdad dari bahaya." "Siapa mereka?" "Sang teladan Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, Maʿrūf al-Karkhī, Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith, dan Manṣūr ibn ʿAmmār." Maka aku kembali dan mengunjungi makam-makam mereka.
“From Baghdad,” I replied, “which has gotten so corrupt that God is likely to wipe it off the face of the earth along with everyone who lives there. I was afraid, so I ran.” “Go back,” he said, “and don’t be afraid. In the city are the graves of four allies of God who will protect Baghdad from harm.” “Who are they?” “The exemplar Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, Maʿrūf al-Karkhī, Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith, and Manṣūr ibn ʿAmmār.” So I went back and visited the graves.
[Penulis:] Kedua riwayat sepakat sampai pada titik ini. Abū Yaʿqūb menambahkan:
[The author:] Both reports agree up to this point. Abū Yaʿqūb adds:
Aku bertanya kepadanya, "Hendak ke mana engkau?" "Untuk menziarahi kuburan," jawabnya.
I asked him, “Where are you headed?” “To visit the graves,” he replied.
"Kamu berasal dari mana?" "Lihat ke belakangmu." Aku menoleh, tetapi tidak ada apa pun yang bisa dilihat. Ketika aku berbalik, dia sudah pergi.
“Where are you from?” “Look behind you.” I looked but there was nothing to see. When I turned around, he was gone.
