艾哈迈德的追随者，以及在他去世至我们今天这段岁月里追随他道路的那些学者和善人，人数多得无法统计。这里我只提及其中最杰出的人，按九个世代排列。愿真主赐予成功！542 100。1

The number of Aḥmad’s associates, and of those learned scholars and good men who, during the years that have elapsed between his death and our own time, have followed his path is too large to count. Here I will mention only the most prominent, arranged in nine generations. May God ensure success!542 100.1

艾哈迈德·伊本·穆罕默德·伊本·哈贾杰，阿布·伯克尔·al-马鲁兹ī。他为人谨慎、虔诚正直。他甘愿侍奉艾哈迈德，艾哈迈德常派他外出办事。艾哈迈德对他说：“你所说的话，等同于我亲口所说。”艾哈迈德对al-马鲁兹ī格外器重，并且会吃他所给的食物。543

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥajjāj, Abū Bakr al-Marrūdhī. A scrupulous and righteous man. He was devoted to serving Aḥmad, who would send him out on errands. Aḥmad used to tell him: “Anything you say counts as if I said it myself.” He treated al-Marrūdhī with special consideration and would eat what he gave him.543

在他从萨马拉归来之后，他常常说：“愿真主报答马鲁兹ī！”正是马鲁兹ī在艾哈迈德去世后为他合上双眼并为他沐浴。他还转述了马鲁兹ī的许多圣训以及对教法问题的讨论。100.3

After he returned from Samarra, he would often say, “God reward al-Marrūdhī!” It was al-Marrūdhī who closed Aḥmad’s eyes and washed him after he died. He also transmitted many of his reports and discussions of legal issues. 100.3

当艾布·伯克尔·al-马鲁兹ī（Abū Bakr al-Marrūdhī）动身前往边疆时，一大群人一直陪他走到萨马拉。他不停地叫他们回去，但他们不肯。据估计，这群人有五万之众，还不包括那些在到达萨马拉之前就返回的人。

When Abū Bakr al-Marrūdhī left for the frontier, a crowd of people marched with him as far as Samarra. He kept telling them to turn back but they wouldn’t. The size of the crowd was estimated at fifty thousand, not counting the ones who turned back before reaching Samarra.

“要感谢真主，”有人对他说，“有这么多人敬仰你。”他痛哭流涕，然后说：“他们敬仰的不是我，而是艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒。”[阿拔斯·本·纳斯尔：]我去马鲁兹的墓前祈祷，看见那里有几位老人。其中一人对另一人说：“某某昨晚在这里睡着了，醒来时吓坏了。我问他发生了什么，他说：‘我梦见艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒骑着马经过。我问他要去哪里，他说：“去圣树图巴，去追赶艾布·伯克尔·马鲁兹。”’”马鲁兹于伊历275年的主马达之月初六（公元888年9月16日）去世，葬在艾哈迈德的墓旁。为他主持殡礼拜的是哈伦·本·阿拔斯·哈希米。

“Be grateful to God,” someone said to him, “that so many people admire you.” He burst into tears then said, “It’s not me they admire, it’s Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal.” [Al-ʿAbbās ibn Naṣr:] I went to pray at al-Marrūdhī’s grave and saw some old men there. One of them was telling another, “So-and-So slept here last night and woke up scared. I asked him what happened, and he said, ‘I dreamed I saw Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal riding along. I asked him where we were going, and he said, “To the Tree of Ṭūbā to catch up with Abū Bakr al-Marrūdhī.”’” Al-Marrūdhī died the sixth of Jumādā I 275 [September 16, 888] and was buried near Aḥmad’s grave. His funeral prayer was led by Hārūn ibn al-ʿAbbās al-Hāshimī.

易卜拉欣·本·伊斯哈格·哈尔比。生于198年[813–814年]，听闻过艾布·努尔·法德勒·本·杜卡因、阿发尼·本·穆斯林、阿卜杜拉·本·萨利赫·伊吉利、穆萨·本·伊斯玛仪·塔布扎基、穆萨达德等人及其他许多人的圣训。他是各门学问的楷模，善于编纂，是一位崇拜真主的苦修者，曾从艾哈迈德处传述了一些关于教法问题的精彩论述。100。7

Ibrāhīm ibn Isḥāq al-Ḥarbī. Born in 198 [813–14], heard reports from Abū Nuʿaym al-Faḍl ibn Dukayn, ʿAffān ibn Muslim, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿIjlī, Mūsā ibn Ismāʿīl al-Tabūdhakī, Musaddad, and many others. He was an exemplar in all fields of learning, a good compiler, and a worshipful renunciant who transmitted from Aḥmad some good discussions of legal problems. 100.7

达拉库特尼说:“伊布拉欣·哈尔比在苦行、学识和虔诚谨慎方面与艾哈迈德·伊本·哈larry 相当。”[阿什亚卜:] 有人曾问伊布拉欣·哈尔比:“您是如何收集到这些书的?”100。8

Al-Dāraquṭnī said, “Ibrāhīm al-Ḥarbī was on a par with Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal in renunciation, learning, and scrupulosity.” [Al-Ashyab:] A man once said to Ibrāhīm al-Ḥarbī, “How did you manage to collect all these books?” 100.8

“以血汗为代价！”易卜拉欣愤怒地回答道。“血汗！”[阿卜杜拉：]我父亲过去常对我说：“去找易卜拉欣·哈尔比，让他为你口述《分割遗产书》。”100。9

“With blood and toil!” Ibrāhīm replied angrily. “Blood and toil!” [ʿAbd Allāh:] My father used to tell me, “Go to Ibrāhīm al-Ḥarbī and have him dictate the Book of Dividing Inheritances for you.” 100.9

[ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Zayd:] 阿布·阿里·侯赛因·伊本·盖哈姆曾对我说，提到易卜拉欣·哈尔比时，他说：“以真主发誓，阿布·穆罕默德，你再也见不到像他那样的人了，至少在今世是如此。我遇到过各个领域有学识和能力的人，也曾向他们求学，但从未见过有人能像他那样在所有领域都成就卓著。” 100.10

[ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Zayd:] Abū ʿAlī l-Ḥusayn ibn Qahm once said to me, at the mention of Ibrāhim al-Ḥarbī, “By God, Abū Muḥammad, you’ll never see another like him, at least not in this world. I’ve met people of learning and ability in every field, and studied with them, but never saw anyone as accomplished in all of them as he was.” 100.10

[伊本·杜鲁斯图亚赫：] 易卜拉欣·哈尔比与艾哈迈德·伊本·叶海亚·塞尔卜曾经相遇，塞尔卜对易卜拉欣说：“什么时候可以不必与其他学者会面呢？”100。11

[Ibn Durustuwayh:] Ibrāhīm al-Ḥarbī and Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyā Thaʿlab once met, and Thaʿlab said to Ibrāhīm, “When is it all right to do without meeting other scholars?” 100.11

“当一个人知道他们说过什么，”易卜拉欣回答道，“以及他们支持过什么立场。”易卜拉欣·哈尔比于285年（公元898–899年）在巴格达去世。尤素福·伊本·叶尔古卜·卡迪为他主持了葬礼祷告，前来送葬的人非常多。他被葬于自己的住所中，其墓至今仍为人所知，人们前去拜谒以求祝福。

“When one knows what they’ve said,” answered Ibrāhīm, “and what positions they’ve supported.” Ibrāhīm al-Ḥarbī died in Baghdad in 285 [898–99]. Yūsuf ibn Yaʿqūb al-Qāḍī prayed over him, and a great number of people attended the funeral. He was buried in his house, and his grave is known today and visited for blessings.

Muhannaʾ ibn Yaḥyā l-Shāmī。以其所传圣训引述者有叶齐德·伊本·哈伦和阿卜杜·拉札格。他是艾哈迈德的重要同伴之一。艾哈迈德敬重他，像对待资深学生那样给予应有的尊重。他常常不停地提问，使艾哈迈德疲于应对，但艾哈迈德总是耐心忍受。达拉古特尼称他为可信赖的正直权威。100。18

Muhannaʾ ibn Yaḥyā l-Shāmī. Related Hadith citing Yazīd ibn Hārūn and ʿAbd al- Razzāq. A major figure among Aḥmad’s associates. Aḥmad respected him and gave him the consideration due him as a student of long standing. He would tire him out with his incessant questions, but Aḥmad would bear it patiently. Al-Dāraquṭnī called him a trustworthy and upstanding authority. 100.18

艾哈迈德·伊本·穆罕默德·伊本·哈伦·阿布·伯克尔·赫拉勒。他致力于搜集艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒所传承的知识,为此四处游历,既记录了艾哈迈德经由少数传述人传下的教导,也记录了经由多数传述人传下的教导,并编纂了多部著作,其中包括他约两百卷册的《汇编》。艾哈迈德的其他门生都没有在这种规模上取得成就。他的讲学圈设在马赫迪清真寺。他于伊历311年rabīʿ I月3日(公元923年6月20日)主麻礼拜前去世。22

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Hārūn Abū Bakr al-Khallāl. Dedicated himself to collecting the knowledge transmitted by Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal. Traveling for that purpose, he documented Aḥmad’s teachings both with few intermediaries and with many intermediaries,544 and compiled a number of works, including his Compendium in some two hundred quires. None of Aḥmad’s other associates accomplished anything on that scale. His study circle was in the mosque of al-Mahdī. He died before the Friday prayer on the third of Rabīʿ I 311 [June 20, 923]. 100.22

阿尔-哈桑·本·阿里·本·哈拉夫，阿布·穆罕默德·阿尔-巴尔巴哈里。兼有学识与苦行。他曾是阿尔-马鲁兹ī和萨尔·阿尔-图斯塔里的同伴。他放弃了父亲留给他的七万第尔汗，因为他对这笔钱是否合法心存疑虑。他严厉谴责创新者，这些人最终设法使当局与他为敌。他从他原先居住的穆哈瓦勒门迁往东区，图兹恩的姐姐把他藏在她家中。他在那里住了一个月后，因大量出血而去世。那位妇人派仆人去寻找人来为他清洗遗体，然后锁上所有的门，以免有人知道遗体在此。为遗体清洗的人到了，清洗了遗体，独自站在遗体旁祈祷。忽然，妇人抬起头，看见屋里挤满了身穿绿色和白色衣服的男子。她叫来仆人，问道：“你让他们进来的？”100。23

Al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī ibn Khalaf, Abū Muḥammad al-Barbahārī. Combined learning and renunciation. Was an associate of al-Marrūdhī and Sahl al-Tustarī. He renounced seventy thousand dirhams left him by his father on account of misgivings he had about its permissibility. He was severe in his denunciations of innovators, who eventually managed to turn the authorities against him. He moved from Muḥawwal Gate, where he had been staying, to the East Side, where Tūzūn’s sister hid him in her house. After he had been there a month, he died of a hemorrhage.545 The woman sent her servant to find someone to wash his corpse, then locked all the doors so no one would know the body was there. The corpse-washer arrived, washed the corpse, and stood praying alone over the body. Suddenly the woman looked up and saw that the house was full of men dressed in green and white. Summoning the servant, she asked, “Did you let them in?” 100.23

“夫人，”他回答道，“你看到我所看到的了吗？”“看到了！”“那好，钥匙在这里；门仍然锁着。”她听后，吩咐人把阿尔-巴尔巴哈里葬在这所房子里。“我死后，”她又说，“也把我葬在他旁边。”于是他被葬在这所房子里，她去世时也被葬在了那里。这个地方位于穆哈里姆，靠近王宫。

“My lady,” he replied, “did you see what I saw?” “I did!” “Well, here are the keys; the door is still locked.” Hearing this, she told them to bury al-Barbahārī in the house. “When I die,” she added, “bury me near him.” He was accordingly buried in the house, and when she died she was buried there as well. The place is in al-Mukharrim, near the royal palace.

我读到一份报告，是我的老师 Abū l-Ḥasan al-Zāghūnī 亲笔所写，内容是：“Abū Muḥammad al-Barbahārī 的坟墓被打开，发现他的遗体完好无损，没有腐烂。从坟墓中散发出一股香气，充满了和平之城。”546

I read a report in the handwriting of my teacher Abū l-Ḥasan al-Zāghūnī saying, “The grave of Abū Muḥammad al-Barbahārī was opened and his body found whole and undecayed. From the grave came a scent of perfume that filled the City of Salvation.”546

ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Jaʿfar ibn Aḥmad，Abū Bakr，即al-Khallāl的弟子。他背诵圣训，传述者包括Muḥammad ibn ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shaybah、Mūsā ibn Hārūn、Qāsim al-Muṭarriz、Abū l-Qāsim al-Baghawī等众多学者。他著有数部篇幅宏大、编纂精良的著作。他于363年沙瓦勒月（公元974年6月至7月）去世。100。35

ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Jaʿfar ibn Aḥmad, Abū Bakr, the Disciple of al-Khallāl. Recited Hadith citing Muḥammad ibn ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shaybah, Mūsā ibn Hārūn, Qāsim al- Muṭarriz, and Abū l-Qāsim al-Baghawī, among many others. He is the author of several large and well-executed compilations. He died in Shawwāl 363 [June–July 974]. 100.35

[Abū Yaʿlā:]我听说，ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Jaʿfar在临终病中说："我会和你们待到星期五。"周围的人希望他早日康复，他却回答说："我听Abū Bakr al-Khallāl说，他听Abū Bakr al-Marrūdhī说：‘Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal活了七十八岁，在星期五去世，并在拜完礼拜后下葬。’Abū Bakr al-Marrūdhī自己也活了七十八岁，在星期五去世，并在拜完礼拜后下葬。Abū Bakr al-Khallāl活了七十八岁，在星期五去世，并在拜完礼拜后下葬。现在我七十八岁了，我会和你们待到星期五。"到了星期五，他去世了，并在拜完礼拜后下葬。

[Abū Yaʿlā:] I have heard that during his final illness, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Jaʿfar said, “I’ll be here with you until Friday.” Those around him wished him a speedy recovery, but he replied: “I heard Abū Bakr al-Khallāl say that he heard Abū Bakr al-Marrūdhī say, ‘Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal lived seventy-eight years, died on a Friday, and was buried after the ritual prayer.’ Abū Bakr al-Marrūdhī himself lived seventy-eight years, died on a Friday, and was buried after the ritual prayer. And Abū Bakr al-Khallāl lived seventy-eight years, died on a Friday, and was buried after the ritual prayer. Now I’m seventy-eight, and I’ll be here with you until Friday.” When Friday came he died. He was buried after the ritual prayer.

ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥamdān，Abū ʿAbd Allāh ibn Baṭṭah al-ʿUkbarī。他聆听过al-Baghawī、Ibn Ṣāʿid等许多人的传述。他为搜求圣训而广泛游历。他被赋予了丰厚的学识与虔诚。100。37

ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥamdān, Abū ʿAbd Allāh ibn Baṭṭah al-ʿUkbarī. Heard reports from al-Baghawī, Ibn Ṣāʿid, and many others. He traveled extensively in search of Hadith. He was gifted with a generous share of learning and piety. 100.37

[阿卜杜勒-哈桑·阿勒-卢鲁伊:] 阿布·阿卜杜拉·伊本·巴塔赫游历归来后，在家中居住了四十年，在此期间从未有人见他去过市场，也从未见他在开斋节和宰牲节以外的日子破斋。他不断劝人行善。每当有人向他讲述某人的恶行时，他都会先改换说法，然后才转述。

[Al-Luʾluʾī:] After Abū ʿAbd Allāh ibn Baṭṭah returned from his travels, he remained at home for forty years, during which he was never once seen at a market, nor ever seen to break his fast except on the Festival of Sacrifice and the Festival of Fast-Breaking. He constantly exhorted others to right action. Whenever he was told anything bad about anyone, he would change the story before repeating it.

[Al-ʿAtīqī:] 艾布·阿卜杜拉·伊本·巴塔（Abū ʿAbd Allāh ibn Baṭṭah）卒于387年穆哈兰月（公元997年1月至2月）。他是一位虔诚的长者，其祈祷常蒙应允。

穆罕默德·本·阿里·本·法特赫，艾布·塔利卜·阿尔-乌沙里。一位多产的传述者，宗教情感十分深厚。100。43

Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Fatḥ, Abū Ṭālib al-ʿUshārī. A prolific transmitter and a man of abundant religious feeling. 100.43

我听我的老师阿卜杜勒-瓦哈卜-哈菲兹说:“阿布·塔利卜·阿勒-乌沙里有一天外出,那是一个动乱的日子,没有人是安全的。一个突厥人拦住了他,问道:‘你有什么可以给我的?’”“‘没有。’他说。”

I heard my teacher ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Ḥāfiẓ say, “Abū Ṭālib al-ʿUshārī once went out on a day of unrest when no one was safe. He was accosted by a Turk who asked him, ‘What have you got to give me?’ “‘Nothing,’ he said.

“土耳其人正要离开，阿布·塔利布又把他叫了回来。‘我必须告诉你，’他说，‘我们的生意之本就是诚实。这两个迪尔汗，拿去吧！’土耳其人不仅没有为难他，还打听到了他的住处，并因他的诚实而将庇护延及整个街区。”

“The Turk walked off but Abū Ṭālib called him back. ‘I have to tell you,’ he said, ‘that our stock in trade is being honest. I have two dirhams—take them!’ “The Turk not only left him unmolested but found out where he lived and extended protection to the whole neighborhood in appreciation of his honesty.”

法官阿布·耶拉·穆罕默德·本·侯赛因·本·穆罕默德·本·哈拉夫·本·法拉厄。他听闻了大量圣训,并跟随阿布·阿卜杜拉·本·哈米德研习法学推理。艾哈迈德的学派之道在他那一代传承于他。他撰写了大量关于法理学原则和具体法律应用的著作。他有许多学生。他品行端正、诚实守信,在法律事务上见解精辟。他曾担任法官,并在曼苏尔清真寺中,坐在从前由伊本·罕百勒之子阿卜杜拉所占据的座位上口述圣训。众多人群前来听讲,有三人——阿布·穆罕默德·本·哲比尔、阿布·曼苏尔·本·安巴里和阿布·阿里·巴拉丹尼——担任他的复述者。他于回历458年斋月第十九日(公元1066年8月14日)星期日晚间,两次晚礼之间去世,于星期一下葬。前来送葬的人非常多,以至于不少人因天气炎热而晕倒,不得不破斋。100。44

The judge Abū Yaʿlā Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn Muḥammad ibn Khalaf ibn al- Farrāʾ. Heard much Hadith, and studied legal reasoning with Abū ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥāmid. To him passed the knowledge of Aḥmad’s way in his generation. He authored numerous compilations on the principles of jurisprudence and on particular applications of the law. He had many students. He was a man of propriety and integrity, and discerning in matters of law. He served as a judge and dictated Hadith in the mosque of al-Manṣūr from the chair formerly occupied by Ibn Ḥanbal’s son ʿAbd Allāh. Vast crowds attended his sessions, and three men—Abū Muḥammad ibn Jābir, Abū Manṣūr ibn al-Anbāri, and Abū ʿAlī l-Baradānī—worked as his repeaters.548 He died on Sunday night between the two night prayers and was buried on Monday, the nineteenth of Ramadan 458 [August 14, 1066]. So many people attended his funeral that a good number succumbed to the heat and had to break their fast. 100.44

阿布·贾法尔·阿卜杜·哈利格·本·尔萨·哈希米。他从阿布·卡西姆·本·比什兰、阿布·穆罕默德·哈拉勒、阿布·伊斯哈格·巴尔马基、乌沙里、伊本·穆兹希卜等人处听闻了大量圣训，并跟随法官阿布·雅拉学习教法。他是一位教法学家和编纂者，为人虔诚、克己自律。法官阿布·雅拉为他作证认可，他曾任阿布·阿卜杜拉·达马嘎尼的公证见证人，但在去世前停止了这一职务。他曾在巴士拉门附近的卖布巷清真寺以及曼苏尔清真寺授课，后迁往东岸，在哈里发宫殿对面的清真寺授课。他于六十六年（伊历）因穆阿拉运河泛滥，迁居拱门，定居于鲁萨法的迪旺街，并在那里的清真寺以及马赫迪清真寺授课。他还召集过讨论思辨问题的聚会。100。46

Abū Jaʿfar ʿAbd al-Khāliq ibn ʿĪsā l-Hāshimī. Heard much Hadith from Abū l-Qāsim ibn Bishrān, Abū Muḥammad al-Khallāl, Abū Isḥāq al-Barmakī, al-ʿUshārī, Ibn al- Mudhhib, and others, and studied jurisprudence with Judge Abū Yaʿlā. He was a jurisprudent and compiler, and a pious and self-restrained man. He was certified by Judge Abū Yaʿlā and served Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Dāmaghānī as a notary-witness but stopped before he died. He taught at a mosque in the Ragdealer’s Alley near the Basra Gate and at the mosque of al-Manṣūr, then moved to the East Side, where he taught at a mosque across from the caliphal palace. In ’66, after the flooding of the Muʿallā Canal, he moved to the Archway Gate, settling in Dīwān Street in al-Ruṣāfah and teaching in the mosque there as well as the mosque of al-Mahdī. He also convened sessions where speculative discussions took place. 100.46

当法官阿布·亚阿拉临终时，他要求阿卜杜·哈利格为自己清洗遗体。后来，哈里发卡迪尔·比阿姆尔·安拉（al-Qāʾim bi-Amr Allāh）临终时，也提出了同样的请求。阿卜杜·哈利格照办了，但没有从王宫拿取任何东西。有人告诉他，哈里发曾给他留下许多遗赠，但他拒绝接受任何东西。最后，人们把哈里发的衬衣拿给他，说他可以从中获得福泽。他听后，用自己的腰布擦干了遗体，并说：“现在我得到哈里发的福泽了。”随后，穆格台迪（al-Muqtadī）当即召见他，要他宣誓效忠。阿卜杜·哈利格独自一人宣了誓。47

When Judge Abū Yaʿlā was on his deathbed he asked ʿAbd al-Khāliq to wash his corpse. Later, when the Caliph al-Qāʾim bi-Amr Allāh was on his deathbed, he made the same request. ʿAbd al-Khāliq did as he was asked but took nothing from the palace. He was told that the caliph had made him numerous bequests, but he refused to take anything. Finally they offered him the caliph’s shirt, saying he could gain a blessing from it. In response, he took his own waist-cloth, dried the body with it, and said, “Now I’ve got the caliph’s blessing.” He was then summoned by al-Muqtadī to offer the oath of allegiance on the spot. ʿAbd al-Khāliq tendered his oath alone.549 100.47

当古莱什里的男孩来到巴格达并爆发动乱时,对异端者处置严厉的阿卜杜·哈利克与之抗争,压制了他们,取得了成功,但他自己也被逮捕入狱。550 人们听说他被关进监狱,便纷纷喧哗抗议。阿卜杜·哈利克被转移到西岸的塔希尔宫(Harem of Ṭāhir),并于伊历470年ṣafar月15日星期四(公元1077年9月7日)在那里去世,那一天至今仍被人们铭记。他被葬在艾哈迈德的墓旁。人们在墓地旁守候了数日数夜。据说,几个月内,这里诵读《古兰经》全文的次数超过了一万次。100。48

When al-Qushayrī’s boy came to Baghdad and unrest broke out, ʿAbd al-Khāliq, who was severe in his treatment of innovators, fought to keep them down, and succeeded, though he was arrested and jailed.550 Hearing that he was in jail, the people raised an outcry. ʿAbd al-Khāliq was removed to the Harem of Ṭāhir on the West Side and died there on Thursday, the fifteenth of Ṣafar 470 [September 7, 1077], a day long remembered. He was buried in a grave next to Aḥmad’s. People spent days and nights by the gravesite. It is said that within months the Qurʾan had been read there in its entirety more than ten thousand times. 100.48

Muḥammad ibn Abī Ṭāhir ibn ʿAbd al-Bāqī ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Rabīʿ ibn Thābit ibn Wahb ibn Mashjaʿah ibn al-Ḥārith ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Kaʿb ibn Mālik al-Anṣārī（即三位留守者之一的圣辅士之一）。552 他生于公元1050年6月至7月（回历42年）的斯法尔月，出生于卡尔赫（al-Karkh）。他常说：“我出生时，父亲请来了一位占星师，母亲又请来了另一位。他们推算了我的命盘，一致认为我只能活五十二岁。可是如今我已年过九旬！”100。60

Muḥammad ibn Abī Ṭāhir ibn ʿAbd al-Bāqī ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Rabīʿ ibn Thābit ibn Wahb ibn Mashjaʿah ibn al-Ḥārith ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Kaʿb ibn Mālik al-Anṣārī (one of the three Helpers who stayed behind).552 Born in Safar of ’42 [June–July 1050] in al-Karkh. He used to say, “When I was born my father brought in one astrologer and my mother brought in another. They took my horoscope and agreed that I would live for fifty-two years. But here I am in my tenth decade!” 100.60

他是最后一位传述圣训的人,其所传圣训的师承包括阿布·伊斯哈格·巴尔马基、阿布·塔伊卜·塔巴里、阿布·塔利卜·乌沙里、阿布·哈桑·巴基拉尼、阿布·穆罕默德·贾赫哈里等人。他常说:"我七岁时就背诵了《古兰经》,凡是学问的分支,我没有一门不曾全部或部分研习过。我不认为自己一生中有哪一个小时是浪费在消遣或娱乐上的。"他在数学和遗产计算方面独树一帜。我去拜见他时,他已九十三岁,但其才智丝毫未减。他于回历535年拉哲卜月2日(公元1141年2月11日至12日)星期三正午之前去世,葬在比什尔·哈菲附近。他生命的最后三天,一直不知疲倦地诵读《古兰经》。

He is the last to have transmitted Hadith citing Abū Isḥāq al-Barmakī, Abū l- Ṭayyib al-Ṭabarī, Abū Ṭālib al-ʿUshārī, Abū l-Ḥasan al-Bāqillānī, Abū Muḥammad al- Jawharī, and others. He used to say, “I memorized the Qurʾan at the age of seven, and there’s no branch of learning I haven’t studied, either completely or in part. I don’t think I’ve wasted a single hour of my life with distractions or diversions.” He was unique in his mastery of mathematics and inheritance calculation. I went to see him when he was ninety-three, and he hadn’t lost any of his faculties. He died before noon on Wednesday, the second of Rajab 535 [February 11–12, 1141], and was buried near Bishr al-Ḥāfī. He spent the last three days of his life tirelessly reciting the Qurʾan.

Abū l-Barakāt ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn al-Mubārak al-Anmāṭī。在我所见过的圣训师长中，他听过的圣训最多，抄写的也最多，尽管他早已能够背诵。我从未遇到过一位比他更耐心地纠正我们诵读的老师，也从未遇到过一位比他更容易为之动容而落泪的人，尽管他平日性情欢快，待人热情。他生于 62 年赖哲卜月［公元 1070 年 4 月至 5 月］，卒于 538 年穆哈兰月。

Abū l-Barakāt ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn al-Mubārak al-Anmāṭī . Of all the Hadith teachers I have seen, he had heard the most reports and copied the most despite knowing them by heart. I never had a teacher who corrected our reading more patiently, or one more likely to be moved to tears despite his customary cheerfulness and the warm welcome he extended. He was born in Rajab ’62 [April–May 1070] and died in Muḥarram 538

[1143年7月–8月]。他葬于al-Shūnīziyyah。100。63

[July–August 1143]. He is buried in al-Shūnīziyyah. 100.63

Abū Bakr Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Dīnawarī。他师从Abū l-Khaṭṭāb al-Kalwadhānī学习教法，并且造诣精深。他在辩论方面也超过了同侪，以至于Asʿad al-Mīhanī评价他说：“Abū Bakr al-Dīnawarī从未见过一个他驳不倒的论点。”每当提到虔诚的人，他便会痛哭流涕，说道：“学者在真主那里有一定地位，或许……”553 在我的老师Abū l-Ḥasan al-Zāghūnī去世之后，我开始参加他的讲座，并跟随他学习了大约四年。他曾经为我背诵过：100。64

Abū Bakr Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Dīnawarī. Studied jurisprudence with Abū l-Khaṭṭāb al-Kalwadhānī and excelled in it. He also outdid his fellows in disputation to the point that Asʿad al-Mīhanī said of him, “Abū Bakr al-Dīnawarī never saw an argument he couldn’t poke a hole in.” Whenever the righteous were mentioned, he would break down and weep, saying “Learned men have some standing with God, and perhaps …”553 I began attending his lectures after the death of my teacher Abū l-Ḥasan al-Zāghūnī and continued with him for some four years. He once recited to me: 100.64

学者所需之物有六项。

The things a scholar needs are six.

这里有一份以韵文形式列出的清单。

Here’s a list of them in rhyme.

智慧、干劲、成熟的年龄、贫困。

Brains, drive, ripe age, poverty.

他老师的帮助，以及时间。554

His teacher’s help, and time.554

他还为我诵读了：100。65

He also recited to me: 100.65

你想要精通法学。

You want to be well versed in law.

还擅长辩论。

And a whiz at disputation.

但是不需要太多的工作，也没有痛苦或辛劳。

Abū Ḥakīm Ibrāhīm ibn Dīnār al-Nahrawānī。曾会见 Abū l-Khaṭṭāb al-Kalwādhānī 及其他师长。研习教法，参与辩论，并听闻了大量圣训。

Abū Ḥakīm Ibrāhīm ibn Dīnār al-Nahrawānī. Met Abū l-Khaṭṭāb al-Kalwādhānī and other teachers. Studied jurisprudence, engaged in disputation, and heard much Hadith.

他精于计算遗产分配。他是一位有学识的人，并将所学付诸实践。他常年斋戒、勤于功修，极为谦卑，宁愿不受人注意。他的忍让与自谦广为人所称道，我确实未曾见过在这方面能与他相比的人。他于556年（公元1161年6月19日至20日）第二个贾马达月二十三日星期二去世，次日清晨葬于比什尔·哈菲（Bishr al-Ḥāfī）附近。100.71

He was deft at calculating inheritances. He was a learned man who put what he knew into effect. He was given to fasting and worship, and he was extremely humble, preferring to be ignored. His forbearance and self-deprecation became proverbial; indeed I never saw anyone like him in that respect. He died Tuesday, the twenty-third of Jumādā II 556 [June 19–20, 1161], and was buried on Wednesday morning near Bishr al-Ḥāfī. 100.71

如果我们提及每一代中的所有人物，或为我们所列举的每个人撰写完整的传记，这本书将会变得更加冗长。因此，我们只限于提及每一代中最杰出的人物，并简要说明他们是怎样的人。我们感谢真主，并唯独向祂寻求帮助。100。72

If we had mentioned all the figures in each generation, or written complete biographies of the men we have listed, the book would have grown much longer. We have therefore confined ourself to mentioning only the most prominent figures in each generation and saying a few words about the sort of people they were. We give God our thanks and to Him direct our pleas for help. 100.72

本书至此结束。我们始终赞颂真主，并祈求祂赐福和保护穆罕默德ﷺ，这位不识字的先知，也是祂最优秀的受造物，同时祈求祂赐福其家人与众门徒。

Here ends the book. We give praise to God always, and ask Him to bless and save Muḥammad, the unlettered557 Prophet and the best of His creation, and his family and Companions.
