[Ṣāliḥ:] 我父亲从不让别人为他打水用于小净。

[Ṣāliḥ:] My father would never let anyone else draw the water for his ablutions.

每当水桶装满被拉上来时,他都会说:"赞美真主!" 58.1

Whenever the bucket came up full, he would say, “Praise God!” 58.1

我问他原因是什么。

I asked him what the reason was.

“孩子，”他回答道，“你没有听说真主是怎么说的吗？{你们告诉我吧！如果你们的水渗入地下，谁能给你们带来流动的水呢？}”298

“Son,” he replied, “haven’t you heard what God says? «Say, ‘Have you considered if your water were to sink into the ground, who could then bring you flowing water?’»”298

[ʿAbd Allāh:] 我父亲过去每二十四小时要礼三百拜。他遭受鞭刑之后，就不能再礼那么多了，于是改为只礼一百五十拜。那时他已近八十岁。他每天诵读《古兰经》的七分之一，一周读完全部，因此每七夜他都会在白天所礼的拜功之外，完整诵读一遍《古兰经》。他做完晚礼之后会先小睡一会儿，然后礼拜直到天亮。58.2

[ʿAbd Allāh:] My father used to pray three hundred cycles every twenty-four hours. After he was flogged he could no longer manage so many, so he started doing only 150. At that time he was nearly eighty. Every day he’d read a seventh of the Qurʾan, finishing it all in a week, and so every seven nights he’d have completed a full reading of the Qurʾan in addition to the ritual prayers he’d performed during the daytime. When he’d finish the evening prayer he’d take a nap then pray until morning. 58.2
