[Ḥanbal ibn Isḥāq:] Esimda, Ahmad o'zining fikrlari yoki fiqhiy hukmlari yozib olinishini yoqtirmasdi. 29.1

[Ḥanbal ibn Isḥāq:] I remember that Aḥmad hated to have anyone write down his views or his judgments in matters of law. 29.1

[Aḥmad ibn al-Rabīʿ:] Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal bir marta bizga dedi: “Eshitdimki, Isḥāq al-Kawsaj Xuroson'da mening huquqiy savollarga bergan javoblarimni o‘rgatar ekan. Guvoh bo‘linglar, hammangiz: men ularning hammasidan voz kechaman!” 29.2

[Aḥmad ibn al-Rabīʿ:] Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal once said to us, “I heard that Isḥāq al- Kawsaj is teaching my answers to legal questions out in Khurasan. Bear witness, all of you: I renounce them all!” 29.2

[Al-Marrūdhī:] Bir marta Xurosonlik bir kishi Ahmadning oldiga kelib, unga bir daftar (qog'oz to'plami) berdi. U qog'ozga qaradi va unda o'zining so'zlaridan ba'zilari borligini ko'rib, g'azablandi va hujjatni uloqtirib yubordi. 29.3

[Al-Marrūdhī:] I once saw a man from Khurasan approach Aḥmad and give him a quire. He looked at it and when he saw that it had some of his own words in it, he grew angry and tossed the document away. 29.3

[Ahmad al-Burjiy:] Ahmad ibn Hanbal bir marta shunday degan: "Ba'zan osmondan baland qalpoq tushadi, shunda boshni shunday qimirlatish kerak bo'ladi", va u boshini qalpoq unga o'rnashib qolmasligi uchun silkitgandek qildi. 29.4

[Aḥmad al-Burjī:] Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal once said, “Sometimes a tall cap falls from the sky, and you have to move your head like this,” and he shook his head as if to keep a cap from settling on it. 29.4

U‘ shuni nazarda tutgan ediki, ba’zi odamlarga rahbarlik o‘z-o‘zidan, ularning xohishisiz yuklanadi. U yana shuni nazarda tutgan ko‘rinadiki, yaxshi odamlar bunday holat yuz berganda kamtarlik bilan boshlarini egadilar.

What he meant was that certain people have leadership thrust upon them. He also seems to have meant that good people duck their heads modestly when that happens.

Aḥmad ham kamtarlik yuzasidan odamlarga uning so‘zlarini yozib olishni man qilgan edi, lekin Xudo ularning yozib olinishini, tartibga solinishini va hammaga ma’lum qilinishini taqdir qildi.172

Out of modesty, too, did Aḥmad forbid people to write his words down, but God decreed that they be recorded, put in order, and made known to all.172
