［ʿAbd Allāh:］我父亲朝觐了五次：三次步行，两次骑乘。其中有些次，他只花了二十迪拉姆。591

[ʿAbd Allāh:] My father made five pilgrimages: three on foot and two riding. On some of them he spent only twenty dirhams. 59.1

[Ṣāliḥ:] 我听父亲说："我朝觐了五次，其中三次是步行去的。其中一次我只花了三十迪拉姆。" 59。2

[Ṣāliḥ:] I heard my father say, “I made five pilgrimages, three of them on foot. On one of them I spent only thirty dirhams.” 59.2

【阿哈迈德】曾对我说:“有些人只需十四个迪拉姆，就能从麦加回到巴格达。”59。3

[Al-Marrūdhī:] Aḥmad once said to me, “Some people can make it from Mecca back to Baghdad on only fourteen dirhams.” 59.3

“那是谁？”我问道。

“Like who?” I asked.

“我。”[阿卜杜拉：]我家的前厅里有一条长凳。父亲若有客人想私下单独交谈，便请对方坐在长凳上；若是其他来访者，他则站在门口，双手扶着门框，从那里与人说话。有一天，一个人来到我家，说道：“请告诉你父亲，是流浪者阿布·易卜拉欣来了。”59.4

“Me.” [ʿAbd Allāh:] In the anteroom of our house was a bench. When my father had a visitor he wanted to sit with privately, he would offer him a seat on the bench. With other callers, he would stand in the doorway with his hands on the doorposts and talk from there. One day a man came to the house and said, “Tell your father it’s Abū Ibrāhīm the Wanderer.” 59.4

两人在长椅上坐了下来。

The two of them sat down on the bench.

“向一位伟大的穆斯林问好，”我父亲对我说（或者说“穆斯林中最优秀的人之一”）。于是我向他问了好。随后我父亲说：“跟我们讲讲吧，艾布·易卜拉欣。”“我经过某某地方，”他说，“就在那里的修道院附近，我病得走不动了。我记得当时心想，如果我离修道院再近一些，修士们也许会给我治病。忽然出现一头巨大的狮子，走到我身边，用它的背温和地驮着我前行，直到我们抵达修道院，它才把我放下。修士们看到我骑着狮子的背到来，他们四百人全都皈依了伊斯兰教。”

“Say hello to a great Muslim,” my father told me (or “one of the best of the Muslims”). So I said hello. Then my father said, “Talk to us, Abū Ibrāhīm.” “I was passing through Such-and-Such a place,” he said, “near the monastery there, when I got too sick to walk. I remember thinking that if I were closer to the monastery one of the monks might treat me. Suddenly a great lion appeared, walked up to me, and carried me along gently on its back until we reached the monastery, where it let me down. When the monks saw me arrive on the back of a lion, all four hundred of them embraced Islam.

“现在轮到你跟我说话了，艾布·阿卜杜拉！”“朝觐前四五夜，”我父亲说，“我梦见了先知ﷺ。他说：‘艾哈迈德，去朝觐吧。’然后我醒了。每当我准备出远门时，我都会把一些碎面包放进袋子里。于是我也这样做了。”

“Now you talk to me, Abū ʿAbd Allāh!” “Four or five nights before the pilgrimage,” said my father, “I dreamed of the Prophet, God bless and keep him. He said, ‘Aḥmad, make the pilgrimage.’ Then I woke up. Whenever I prepare to travel, I put some crumbled bread in a bag. So I did that.

第二天早上,我动身前往库法,当天晚些时候便到达了那里。在主麻清真寺里,我遇见一位英俊的年轻人,身上带着宜人的香气。我向他问候,然后说了“真主至大”以开始我的拜功。拜完之后,我问他是否还有人要动身去朝圣。他告诉我稍等,等他的一位兄弟来。那位兄弟来了,结果发现他和我处于同样的境况。我们边走边聊,他问那个年轻人我们是否会被用牲口驮着走。308

The next morning, I started for Kufa, and got there later the same day. In the Friday mosque, I met a handsome young man with a pleasant scent. I greeted him and then said ‘God is great’ to begin my prayer. When I finished I asked him whether anyone was still leaving for the pilgrimage. He told me to wait until one of his brethren came along. When he came, he turned out to be a man in the same situation as I was. As we walked along, he asked the young man if we would be carried.308

“‘如果艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒与我们同在，’那年轻人说，‘那我们就去。’”那一刻我意识到他就是赫迪尔。于是我问我身边的那个人，是否想吃点东西。

“‘If Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal is with us,’ said the young man, ‘then we will.’ “At that moment I realized that he was al-Khaḍir. Then I asked the man with me if he wanted something to eat.

“‘你们吃你们的食物吧，’他说，‘我吃我的。’” “每当我们吃饭时，那个年轻人便会消失，等我们吃完才回来。三天之后，我们到了麦加。”309

“‘Go ahead and eat your sort of food,’ he said, ‘and I’ll eat mine.’ “Whenever we ate, the young man would disappear then return when we were done. Three days later we were in Mecca.”309
