[Al-Ḥasan ibn al-Bannā:] Abū Ḥasan al-Tamīmī meriwayatkan daripada bapanya yang berkata bahawa datuknya menghadiri pengebumian Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal dan melaporkan, "Saya tinggal selama seminggu penuh dengan harapan dapat sampai ke kubur, tetapi orang ramai di sana terlalu ramai. Saya mengambil masa seminggu untuk dapat melepasinya." 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
