[ʿAbd Allāh:] Bapa saya meninggal dunia sebelum tengah hari pada hari Jumaat. Muḥammad bin ʿAbd Allāh bin Ṭāhir menolak kami ke tepi dan mengerjakan solat jenazah untuknya, walaupun kami dan kaum Hāshim telah menyembahyangkan jenazah ketika ia masih berada di dalam rumah. Kami mengebumikannya selepas solat Asar. 82.1

[ʿAbd Allāh:] My father died before noon on a Friday. Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṭāhir pushed us aside and performed the funeral prayer for him, though we and the tribesmen of Hāshim prayed over the body while it was still in the house. We buried him after the afternoon prayer. 82.1

[Ṣāliḥ:] Apabila ayah saya meninggal dunia, Ibn Ṭāhir mengirim pesan bertanya siapa yang akan menyembahyangkannya. Saya memberitahunya bahawa sayalah yang akan melakukannya. 82.2

[Ṣāliḥ:] When my father died, Ibn Ṭāhir sent a message asking who was going to pray for him. I told him I was. 82.2

Ketika kami sampai di padang pasir, kami dapati Ibn Ṭāhir sedang berdiri di sana menunggu kami. Dia mendekati kami dan menyampaikan ucapan takziah. Usungan jenazah diturunkan ke tanah. Saya menunggu sebentar, kemudian melangkah ke hadapan dan mula menyusun semua orang dalam barisan. Lalu Ibn Ṭālūt dan Muḥammad ibn Naṣr maju ke hadapan dan, masing-masing memegang sebelah lengan saya, berkata, "Beri laluan kepada amir!" Saya cuba menghalang mereka tetapi mereka membawa saya ke tepi, dan akhirnya Ibn Ṭāhir yang mengimamkan solat. Orang-orang yang berkabung tidak menyedari apa yang telah berlaku. Keesokan harinya, apabila mereka mengetahuinya, mereka mula menunaikan solat di kawasan kubur. Keadaan itu berlanjutan untuk tempoh yang agak lama: orang ramai datang dan bersolat di kubur itu.

When we reached the desert, we found Ibn Ṭāhir standing there waiting for us. He approached us and offered his condolences. The bier was lowered to the ground. I waited a bit, then stepped forward and began lining everyone up. Then Ibn Ṭālūt and Muḥammad ibn Naṣr came forward and, each seizing one of my arms, said, “Make way for the emir!” I tried to stop them but they took me aside and Ibn Ṭāhir ended up performing the prayer. The mourners didn’t realize what had happened. The next day, when they found out, they began praying at the gravesite. That went on for a good while: people coming and praying at the grave.

[ʿUbayd Allāh:] Saya mendengar al-Mutawakkil berkata kepada Ibn Ṭāhir: "Alangkah besarnya nikmat bagimu:

[ʿUbayd Allāh:] I heard al-Mutawakkil say to Ibn Ṭāhir: “What a blessing for you:

"...mendoakan Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal!" 82.3

praying over Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal!” 82.3
