[Al-Maymūnī:] Sijawahi kumwona mtu yeyote aliyeweka nguo zake safi kama Ibn Ḥanbal, wala aliyetunza nywele zake, masharubu yake na nywele za mwili wake kwa uangalifu kama huo, wala mtu yeyote ambaye nguo zake zilikuwa nyeupe kwa usafi kamili kama zake. 37.1

[Al-Maymūnī:] I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone who kept his clothes as clean as Ibn Ḥanbal did, or took such good care of his hair, mustache, and body hair, or anyone whose clothing was as immaculately white as his. 37.1

[Al-Marrūdhī:] Aḥmad hakuwahi kwenda bafuni ya umma (hammam). Alipohitaji kuondoa nywele za mwili, alifanya hivyo nyumbani. Mimi nilimtayarishia ubandiko (dawa ya kuondoa nywele) zaidi ya mara moja. Pia nilimnunulia glavu ya ngozi. Alikuwa akiivaa na kuondoa ubandiko mwenyewe.195 37.2

[Al-Marrūdhī:] Aḥmad never went to the bathhouse. When he needed to depilate himself, he did it at home. I prepared the paste for him more than once. I also bought him a leather glove. He would put it on and remove the paste himself.195 37.2

Abū l-ʿAbbās: Nilimwandalia Aḥmad dawa ya kuondoa nywele na nikaanza kumwondolea nywele zake. Nilipofika eneo la sehemu za siri, yeye mwenyewe alichukua nafasi hiyo. 37.3
