[罕巴勒·伊本·伊斯哈格：] 我记得艾哈迈德讨厌别人把他的观点或法律上的裁决记录下来。291

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

[艾哈迈德·本·拉比尔：] 艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒曾对我们说：“我听说伊沙格·库萨杰在呼罗珊讲授我对法律问题的回答。你们都要为我作证：我与这些回答全部断绝关系！”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:] 我曾见一位来自呼罗珊的人走近艾哈迈德，递给他一叠纸页。他看了一眼，发现里面有他自己的话语，便勃然大怒，把那份文稿扔到了一边。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

[艾哈迈德·布尔吉:] 艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒曾说："有时高帽会从天上掉下来，你得像这样摆动头部。"他摇了摇头，仿佛要让帽子不落在头上。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

他的意思是，有些人会被迫承担领导的职责。他似乎还想说，善良的人在这种情况下会谦逊地低下头。

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.

出于谦逊，艾哈迈德曾禁止人们把他的言论记录下来，但真主注定要让它们被记录、整理，并为众人所知。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
