【Ṣāliḥ:】当我父亲生病时，他让他们照顾他。冬天为了让他保暖，他们会买来荆棘的根，在一个窄小的炭炉里燃烧。47。1

[Ṣāliḥ:] When my father got sick, he let them take care of him. To keep him warm in winter, they would buy thorn-bush roots and burn them in a narrow coal-pan. 47.1

[Al-Muṭawwiʿī:] 我父亲转述说，艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒不用勺子吃布丁，而是直接用手抓着吃。他还说，他吃薄饼。47。2

[Al-Muṭawwiʿī:] My father reported that Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal didn’t eat pudding with a spoon. Instead, he would eat it out of his hand. He also said that he ate thin flatbread. 47.2

“你是怎么知道的？”我问道。

“How do you know?” I asked.

“有一次我恰好在他家门外，他的儿子萨利赫刚为他烤了些饼。一个乞丐来到门口乞讨，他们便送出一块饼皮。我想，艾哈迈德必定也吃同样的东西，因为先知说：‘不要施舍你自己不吃的东西。’”ﷺ

“Once I happened to be outside his door just after his son Ṣāliḥ had done some baking for him. A beggar came to the door begging, and they sent out a crust of flatbread. I realized that Aḥmad must eat the same thing, since the Prophet, God bless and keep him, said, ‘Don’t give away anything you don’t eat.’”
