[Ṣāliḥ:] Whenever someone said a prayer for my father, he would say, “Call no man blessed until his work is done.” 56.1

Men tez-tez uning shunday deganini eshitardim: “Alloh bizni asrasin! Alloh bizni asrasin!” Uning Yūnus ibn Muḥammaddan rivoyat qilganini eshitdim, u Ḥammād ibn Zaydan rivoyat qilgan, u esa Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīdning Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyab shunday deydi, deb da’vo qilganini aytgan: “Alloh bizni asrasin! Alloh bizni asrasin!” Yana uning Zayd ibn al-Ḥubābdan rivoyat qilganini eshitdim, u ʿAyyāsh ibn ʿUqbahdan rivoyat qilgan, u esa ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz tez-tez shunday derdi, deb aytgan: “Alloh bizni asrasin! Alloh bizni asrasin!” [ʿAbd Allāh:] Men faqat bu ishdan yutuq ham, yutqazish ham bo‘lmasdan, teng holda chiqishni xohlayman.295 56.2

I often heard him say, “God save us! God save us!” I heard him report that he heard Yūnus ibn Muḥammad report that he heard Ḥammād ibn Zayd report that Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd claimed that Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyab used to say, “God save us! God save us!” I also heard him report that he heard Zayd ibn al-Ḥubāb report that he heard ʿAyyāsh ibn ʿUqbah report that ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al- ʿAzīz often used to say, “God save us! God save us!” [ʿAbd Allāh:] All I want is to come out of this even, without winning or losing.295 56.2
