[Ibnu Abī l-Dunyā:] Aku mendengar Abū Yūsuf ibn Bukhtān—yang merupakan seorang Muslim yang baik—meriwayatkan bahwa ketika Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal wafat, seseorang bermimpi melihat sebuah pelita di setiap kuburan. Ketika ia bertanya mengapa demikian, ia diberi tahu, "Tidakkah engkau lihat? Begitu orang itu dimasukkan di antara mereka, kuburan-kuburan seluruh orang yang telah mati menjadi terang. Sebagian orang mati yang sedang disiksa pun diampuni." 95.1

[Ibn Abī l-Dunyā:] I heard Abū Yūsuf ibn Bukhtān—who was a good Muslim—report that when Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal died, someone had a dream where he saw a lamp on every grave. When he asked why, he was told, “Don’t you see? As soon as that man was put in among them, the tombs of all the dead were illuminated. Some of the dead who were being tormented were forgiven.” 95.1

[ʿUbayd ibn Sharīk:] Seorang banci524 yang telah meninggal terlihat dalam mimpi berkata, “Aku telah diampuni: begitu Aḥmad ditempatkan di antara kami, semua orang yang sudah mati dan dikuburkan diampuni.” 95.2

[ʿUbayd ibn Sharīk:] A drag queen524 who died was seen in a dream saying, “I’ve been forgiven: as soon as Aḥmad was placed among us, everyone dead and buried was forgiven.” 95.2
