[ʿAbd Allāh:] Ayah saya mampu menanggung kesendirian lebih baik daripada sesiapa pun. Bishr,288 walaupun seorang yang besar kedudukannya, tidak tahan untuk bersendirian: dia akan keluar menziarahi orang sejam di sini, sejam di sana. 54.1

[ʿAbd Allāh:] My father could bear solitude better than anyone. Bishr,288 great as he was, couldn’t stand to be alone: he would go out visiting an hour here, an hour there. 54.1

[ʿAbd Allāh:] Satu-satunya tempat orang melihat ayah saya ialah di masjid, di majlis pengebumian, atau di rumah orang yang sedang sakit. Beliau tidak suka berjalan di pasar-pasar. 54.2

[ʿAbd Allāh:] The only places anyone saw my father were in the mosque, at a funeral, or at the home of someone taken ill. He hated walking through the markets. 54.2
