[Al-Ḥasan ibn al-Bannā:] Abū Ḥasan al-Tamīmī meriwayatkan dari ayahnya, bahwa kakeknya menghadiri pemakaman Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal dan berkata, "Aku tinggal selama satu minggu penuh dengan harapan dapat mencapai kuburan, tetapi orang di sana terlalu banyak. Butuh waktu satu minggu bagiku untuk bisa sampai." 85.1

[Al-Ḥasan ibn al-Bannā:] Abū Ḥasan al-Tamīmī cites his father as saying that his grandfather attended the funeral of Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal and reported, “I stayed for an entire week hoping to reach the grave but there were too many people there. It took a week for me to get through.” 85.1
