Di antara para ulama terkemuka yang tunduk (menyerah) adalah ʿAlī ibn al-Jaʿd; Ismāʿīl ibn Ibrāhīm ibn ʿUlayyah;457 Saʿīd ibn Sulaymān al-Wāsiṭī, yang dikenal sebagai Saʿduwayh; Isḥāq ibn Abī Isrāʾīl; Abū Ḥassān al-Ziyādī; Bishr ibn al-Walīd; ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar al-Qawārīrī; ʿAlī ibn Abī Muqātil; al-Faḍl ibn Ghānim; al-Ḥasan ibn Ḥammād Sajjadah; Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Masʿūd; Muḥammad ibn Saʿd, juru tulis al-Wāqidī; Aḥmad ibn Ibrāhīm al-Dawraqī; Ismāʿīl ibn Dāwūd al-Jawzī; Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn; ʿAlī ibn al-Madīnī; Abū Khaythamah Zuhayr ibn Ḥarb; Abū Naṣr al-Tammār; dan Abū Kurayb. 76.1

Among the prominent men of learning who capitulated were ʿAlī ibn al-Jaʿd; Ismāʿīl ibn Ibrāhīm ibn ʿUlayyah;457 Saʿīd ibn Sulaymān al-Wāsiṭī, known as Saʿduwayh; Isḥāq ibn Abī Isrāʾīl; Abū Ḥassān al-Ziyādī; Bishr ibn al-Walīd; ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar al-Qawārīrī; ʿAlī ibn Abī Muqātil; al-Faḍl ibn Ghānim; al-Ḥasan ibn Ḥammād Sajjadah; Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Masʿūd; Muḥammad ibn Saʿd, scribe to al-Wāqidī; Aḥmad ibn Ibrāhīm al-Dawraqī; Ismāʿīl ibn Dāwūd al-Jawzī; Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn; ʿAlī ibn al- Madīnī; Abū Khaythamah Zuhayr ibn Ḥarb; Abū Naṣr al-Tammār; and Abū Kurayb. 76.1

Kapitulasi yang paling sulit ditanggung oleh Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal adalah kapitulasi Abū Naṣr al-Tammār, Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn, dan Abū Khaythamah. Ia memiliki pandangan yang tinggi terhadap mereka semua dan tidak menyangka bahwa mereka akan menyerah secepat itu. Abū Naṣr al-Tammār adalah seorang ahli ibadah yang meriwayatkan hadis dari Mālik, kedua Ḥammād, dan banyak lainnya, tetapi ia tidak mampu bertahan menghadapi Inkuisisi dan akhirnya menyerah. Akibatnya, Aḥmad berpendapat bahwa riwayat yang ia sampaikan tidak boleh dituliskan, dan ia menolak untuk menshalatkannya ketika ia meninggal. 76.2

The capitulations that were hardest for Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal to bear were those of Abū Naṣr al-Tammār, Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn, and Abū Khaythamah. He had a high opinion of them all and did not expect any of them to give in as quickly as they did. Abū Naṣr al-Tammār was a Worshipper who heard Hadith from Mālik, the two Ḥammāds, and many others, but was unable to withstand the Inquisition and caved in. Aḥmad consequently held that one should not write down the reports he transmitted, and refused to pray over him when he died. 76.2

[Abū Ḥafṣ:] Pada hari ketika Abū Naṣr al-Tammār dipanggil untuk diperiksa oleh Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm, Bishr meminta saya mencari tahu apa yang terjadi. Ketika saya memberitahunya bahwa al-Tammār telah menyerah, ia mengucapkan «Sesungguhnya kami adalah milik Tuhan, dan kepada-Nya kami kembali!»458 berkali-kali, lalu berkata, "Alangkah indahnya jenggot itu seandainya ia mewarnainya"—maksudnya dengan darah—"dan bertahan hingga mati." 76.3

[Abū Ḥafṣ:] The day Abū Naṣr al-Tammār was taken in for questioning by Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm, Bishr asked me to find out what happened. When I told him that al- Tammār had capitulated, he recited «We are of God, and to Him we return!»458 several times, then said, “How beautiful that beard of his would have been if he had dyed it”— meaning with blood—“and resisted until death.” 76.3

[ʿUbayd Allāh:] Abū Maʿmar al-Qaṭīʿī adalah seorang yang sangat bersemangat dalam mengikuti sunnah, sampai-sampai ia berkata, "Seandainya bagal (peranakan kuda dan keledai) milikku bisa berbicara, niscaya ia akan mengatakan bahwa dirinya seorang Sunni." 76.4

[ʿUbayd Allāh:] Abū Maʿmar al-Qaṭīʿī was such a fervent adherent of the sunnah that he used to say, “If my mule could talk, she’d say she was a Sunni.” 76.4

Tetapi ketika ia diuji, ia pun menyerah. Setelah dibebaskan, ia berkata, "Kami telah mengingkari iman kami, dan mereka membiarkan kami pergi." [Ibn ʿAskar:] Setelah Saʿduwayh dipanggil masuk, aku melihatnya keluar dari kediaman amir sambil berkata, "Nak, bawakan keledai itu. Tuanmu telah mengingkari imannya!" 76.5

But then when he was put to the test, he gave in. After he was released he said, “We denied our faith and they let us go.” [Ibn ʿAskar:] After Saʿduwayh was called in, I saw him come out of the emir’s residence and say, “Boy, bring the donkey. Your master has denied his faith!” 76.5

Saya berkata: Saʿduwayh adalah Saʿīd ibn Sulaymān Abū ʿUthmān al-Wāsiṭī, yang dikenal dengan sebutan Saʿduwayh. Ia meriwayatkan hadis dengan menukil dari Ibn Saʿd dan yang lainnya, dan ia menunaikan ibadah haji enam puluh kali.

[The author:] I say: Saʿduwayh is Saʿīd ibn Sulaymān Abū ʿUthmān al-Wāsiṭī, known as Saʿduwayh. He recited Hadith citing Ibn Saʿd and others and performed the pilgrimage sixty times.

[Al-ʿIjlī:] Setelah diinterogasi, Sa'duwayh ditanya apa yang telah ia lakukan.

[Al-ʿIjlī:] After his interrogation, Saʿduwayh was asked what he had done.

"Kami mengingkari agama kami dan mereka membiarkan kami pergi," katanya. 76.6

“We denied our faith and they let us go,” he said. 76.6
