[Ṣāliḥ:] Setiap kali seseorang mendoakan ayah saya, beliau akan berkata, "Jangan sekali-kali menganggap seseorang itu diberkati sehingga selesai amalannya." 56.1

[Ṣāliḥ:] Whenever someone said a prayer for my father, he would say, “Call no man blessed until his work is done.” 56.1

Saya sering mendengar beliau berkata, "Semoga Allah menyelamatkan kita! Semoga Allah menyelamatkan kita!" Saya juga mendengar beliau meriwayatkan bahawa dia mendengar Yūnus ibn Muḥammad meriwayatkan bahawa dia mendengar Ḥammād ibn Zayd meriwayatkan bahawa Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd mendakwa bahawa Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyab biasa berkata, "Semoga Allah menyelamatkan kita! Semoga Allah menyelamatkan kita!" Saya juga mendengar beliau meriwayatkan bahawa dia mendengar Zayd ibn al-Ḥubāb meriwayatkan bahawa dia mendengar ʿAyyāsh ibn ʿUqbah meriwayatkan bahawa ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz sering berkata, "Semoga Allah menyelamatkan kita! Semoga Allah menyelamatkan kita!" [ʿAbd Allāh:] Apa yang saya mahu hanyalah keluar daripada ini dengan seimbang, tanpa menang atau kalah.295 56.2

I often heard him say, “God save us! God save us!” I heard him report that he heard Yūnus ibn Muḥammad report that he heard Ḥammād ibn Zayd report that Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd claimed that Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyab used to say, “God save us! God save us!” I also heard him report that he heard Zayd ibn al-Ḥubāb report that he heard ʿAyyāsh ibn ʿUqbah report that ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al- ʿAzīz often used to say, “God save us! God save us!” [ʿAbd Allāh:] All I want is to come out of this even, without winning or losing.295 56.2
