[Al-Būshanjī:] Wakati wa sala ya maziko ya Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, baadhi ya waombolezaji walimlaani al-Karābīsī waziwazi. Jambo hilo liliripotiwa kwa al-Mutawakkil, ambaye aliuliza ni nani huyo. Alipoambiwa kwamba al-Karābīsī alikuwa amebuni mafundisho ambayo hayakuwepo hapo awali, aliamuru afungiwe nyumbani mpaka afe. 84.1

[Al-Būshanjī:] During the funeral prayers for Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, some of the mourners cursed al-Karābīsī openly. The cursing was reported to al-Mutawakkil, who asked who he was. Told that al-Karābīsī had invented a doctrine previously unknown, he ordered him confined to his house until he died. 84.1

[Al-Nasawī:] Nilihudhuria mazishi ya Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal. Kulikuwa na msongamano mkubwa sana. Al-Karābīsī alilaaniwa kwa sauti kubwa na kwa muda mrefu, vivyo hivyo al-Marīsī. 84.2

[Al-Nasawī:] I attended Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal’s funeral. It was very crowded. Al- Karābīsī was cursed loud and long, as was al-Marīsī. 84.2

[Al-Warrāq:] Wakati wa mazishi ya Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, waombolezaji walidhihirisha wazi kushikamana na sunnah, na wakawalaani wale wanaoeneza bid'ah zilizokatazwa. Kwa kuwaonyesha ukuu na nguvu ya Uislamu pamoja na kukandamizwa kwa waongozi waliopotoka, wapinzani, na wabunifu wa bid'ah zilizokatazwa, Mwenyezi Mungu aliwafariji Waislamu kwa msiba waliokuwa wameupata. Baadhi ya waombolezaji walipiga kambi kwenye kaburi, na wanawake nao wakaanza kulitembelea. Kwa sababu hiyo, mamlaka zikatuma askari wa doria kuondoa watu eneo hilo na kurejesha utulivu. 84.3

[Al-Warrāq:] At Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal’s funeral, the mourners made an open display of adherence to the sunnah and cursed the purveyors of reprehensible innovation. By showing them the ascendancy and might of Islam as well as the suppression of errant guides, dissenters, and reprehensible innovators, God consoled the Muslims for the calamity they had suffered. Some mourners camped out at the gravesite, and women began to visit as well. The authorities accordingly sent patrolmen to clear the area and restore order. 84.3

[Shangazi wa ʿAlī ibn Mahruwayh:] Siku Ibn Ḥanbal alipofariki, mahali pekee mjini Baghdad ambapo sala ya alasiri ilisaliwa ni msikiti wa Ḥārith. 84.4

[ʿAlī ibn Mahruwayh’s aunt:] On the day Ibn Ḥanbal died, the only place in Baghdad where the afternoon prayer was performed was Ḥārith’s mosque. 84.4
