[Muḥammad ibn Ṭāriq:] 我坐在艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒身旁，我问他能否用他的墨水瓶。52.1

[Muḥammad ibn Ṭāriq:] I was sitting next to Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal and I asked him if I could use his inkpot. 52.1

他看着我。“我们俩都没有那么拘泥,”他笑着说。

He looked at me. “Neither one of us is as scrupulous as all that,” he said with a smile.

〔雅哈亚·本·马因：〕我从未见过像艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒那样的人。我们与他同坐了五十年，他从未因自己的虔诚与善行而压过我们。522

[Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn:] I never met anyone like Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal. We sat with him for fifty years, and never once did he hold his piety and goodness over us. 52.2

[Ṣāliḥ:] 我经常看见我的父亲拿起斧头,亲自走到租户的房间去修理各种活计。他还会去杂货店买一捆柴火或其他东西,然后自己扛回来。523

[Ṣāliḥ:] I often saw my father pick up an adze and go over to the tenants’ rooms to take care of jobs with his own two hands. He would go to the grocers and buy a bundle of kindling or whatever, and carry it back himself. 52.3

[ʿAbd Allāh:] 我记得，每当古莱氏部落的任何人，无论老少，或先知家族的任何人来见他时，他都不肯先走进清真寺的门，直到他们先进去。52。4

[ʿAbd Allāh:] I remember that whenever any tribesman of Quraysh, young or old, or anyone of the Prophet’s family came to see him, he’d refuse to walk through the doorway of the mosque until after they had gone through ahead of him. 52.4
