[伊斯玛仪·达莱米：] 阿慕尔·纳基德说："我们正在跟随瓦基尔学习，艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒走了进来，坐了下来。"他开始描述艾哈迈德对瓦基尔是多么恭敬。然后他说："我告诉艾哈迈德，我们的老师是多么看重他，并问他为什么在老师面前不肯说话。他说：'即使他看重我，那又怎样？我仍然应当对他怀有敬重。'"6.1

[Ismāʿīl al-Daylamī:] ʿAmr al-Nāqid said, “We were studying with Wakīʿ when Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal came in and sat down.” He began describing how deferential Aḥmad was to Wakīʿ. Then he said: “I told Aḥmad how highly our teacher thought of him and asked him why he wouldn’t speak in his presence. He said, ‘So what if he thinks highly of me? I still have to treat him with reverence.’” 6.1

[ʿAbd Allāh:]我听到穆罕纳厄·伊本·叶海亚·沙米报告说："我看见艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒在苏夫扬的讲学圈中，阿卜杜勒·拉札格坐在他面前。我当时想：'不知道他们是否知道自己坐在什么人身边。'"他的意思是：他们是否知道伊本·罕百勒的学识有多深？6.2

[ʿAbd Allāh:] I heard Muhannaʾ ibn Yaḥyā l-Shāmī report, “I saw Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal in Sufyān’s study circle with ʿAbd al-Razzāq sitting in front of him. I remember thinking, ‘I wonder if they have any idea who they’re sitting with.’” By this he meant: Did they know how learned Ibn Ḥanbal was? 6.2

[古太白叶哈·本·赛义德：] 我来到巴格达只为一个目的：见艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒。结果，是他与叶哈雅·本·迈因一同来到我这里。我们互相交流圣训传述，然后他站起身，走过来，坐在我面前。6.3

[Qutaybah ibn Saʿīd:] I came to Baghdad with one purpose: to meet Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal. In the event, he came to me, along with Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn. We exchanged Hadith reports46 and then he stood up, came over, and sat down in front of me. 6.3
