[伊本·胡沙拉姆：] 有人向毕什尔询问艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒的情况，我听见他回答说：“你何必在乎像我这样的人对艾哈迈德的看法呢？他经过了熔炉，出来时已是赤金。”80 13.37
[Ibn Khashram:] Someone asked Bishr about Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, and I heard him reply, “Why should you care what someone like me has to say about Aḥmad? He went into the bellows and came out red gold.”80 13.37
[Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith:] 艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒被放入熔炉，出来时像一块赤红的黄金。13。38
[Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith:] Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal was put into the bellows and came out like a chunk of red gold. 13.38
[Ibn Khashram:] 我听到比舍尔·伊本·哈里斯说："艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒被放进熔炉，出来时像一块红金。"艾哈迈德得知此话后说："感谢真主，比舍尔认可了我的所为！"13.39
[Ibn Khashram:] I heard Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith say “Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal was put into the bellows and came out like a chunk of red gold.” When Aḥmad learned of this, he said, “Thank God Bishr approves of what I did!” 13.39
[Al-Tammār:] 当艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒在宗教裁判期间遭受鞭刑时，比舍尔来见我。“艾布·纳斯尔，”他说，“今天那个人做到了其他所有人都未能做到的事。我希望真主（God）因他的学识而嘉许他。”13.40
[Al-Tammār:] When Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal was flogged during the Inquisition, Bishr came to see me. “Abū Naṣr,” he said, “today that man has done what everyone else has failed to do. I hope God counts his learning in his favor.” 13.40
[Muḥammad ibn al-Shāh:] 宗教审讯结束后，有人向Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith询问Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal，他说：“他是伊斯兰教的楷模领袖之一。” 13.41
[Muḥammad ibn al-Shāh:] After the Inquisition was over, Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith was asked about Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal and said, “He’s one of the exemplary leaders of Islam.” 13.41
[易卜拉欣·本·哈里斯：] 当艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒遭到鞭打时，比舍尔的同伴们说："你要是出去说‘我和伊本·罕百勒站在一起！’就好了。" 13.42
[Ibrāhīm ibn al-Ḥārith:] When Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal was flogged, Bishr’s associates said, “If only you had gone out and said, ‘I stand with Ibn Ḥanbal!’” 13.42
“你想让我做先知们所做的事吗？”81 比什尔回答道，“艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒正在做的就是这件事。”[阿萨迪说：] 当艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒被带去受鞭刑时，有人去找比什尔·伊本·哈里斯，对他说：“他们已经带走了艾哈迈德，还拿出了鞭子。你必须站出来说话。”13.43
“Do you want me to do what the prophets did?”81 replied Bishr. “That’s what Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal’s doing.” [Al-Asadī:] When Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal was taken away to be flogged, people went to Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith and said, “They’ve taken Aḥmad and they’ve brought out the whips. You need to speak out.” 13.43
“你是要我做先知们做过的事吗？”比舍尔说，“我做不到。愿真主保佑伊本·罕百勒免受一切危难！”[阿卜杜拉：]当他们鞭打艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒时，有人要比舍尔说些什么，他回答说：“你们是要我站到先知们所站的位置上吗？
“Do you want me to do what the prophets did?” said Bishr. “I can’t. May God keep Ibn Ḥanbal safe from every danger!” [ʿAbd Allāh:] Bishr was asked—when they were flogging Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal—to say something, and he replied, “You’re asking me to stand where the prophets stood?
“这正是艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒所做的。”13.44
That’s what Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal is doing.” 13.44
[Al-Ṭabbāʿ:]我听到 Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Baynūnī 说,他是一位 Worshipper(崇拜者),年八十二岁。他说:“我问 Bishr 为什么不做 Ibn Ḥanbal 所做的事。他说:‘你是想让我与众先知并列吗?’或者‘……想把我抬到众先知的位置吗?’”
[Al-Ṭabbāʿ:] I heard Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Baynūnī, who was a Worshipper, 82 say, “I asked Bishr why he wouldn’t do what Ibn Ḥanbal had done. He said, ‘Do you want me to stand on a level with the prophets?’ or ‘… to lift me up to where the prophets are?
“我的身体太虚弱了，承受不住那样的。愿真主保护艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒，使他免受眼前与身后、上方与下方、左右两侧的一切危险。”13.45
My body’s too weak for that. May God guard Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal from every danger before him or behind, above or below, and from either side.’” 13.45
[Ḥanbal ibn Isḥāq:] 海赛姆·阿比丹（Al-Haytham the Worshipper）说："我当时在比舍尔（Bishr）那里，有人进来说：'艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒（Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal）已经挨了十七鞭了。'比舍尔听后伸出脚说：'为了那个人，没有脚镣的腿看起来多难看啊！'" 13.46
[Ḥanbal ibn Isḥāq:] Al-Haytham the Worshipper said, “I was at Bishr’s and someone came in saying, ‘Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal’s been struck seventeen lashes so far.’ At that, Bishr stuck out his foot and said, ‘How ugly my leg looks without a fetter on it in defense of that man!’” 13.46
Ḥanbal补充道:我的一位老师,他本人是一位崇拜者,告诉我:“当人们抓走艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒时,我去找比舍尔·伊本·哈里斯,说:‘来吧,我们去帮帮这个人。’他回答:‘这是先知才会做的事;我做不到。’”[易卜拉欣·伊本·哈尼厄·奈沙布尔:]有一次我与比舍尔·伊本·哈里斯一同礼拜,我举起了双手。礼拜领拜者示意礼拜结束后,比舍尔说:“艾布·伊斯哈格,我很惊讶你和你的老师艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒还举手。我听侯沙伊姆引述穆吉拉的传述说,易卜拉欣过去常叫人礼拜时让双手垂下。”83 13.47
Ḥanbal added: One of my teachers, who was himself a Worshipper, told me, “When they took Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, I went to Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith and said, ‘Come on, let’s go help the man.’ He replied, ‘That’s what a prophet does; I can’t.’” [Ibrāhīm ibn Hāniʾ al-Naysābūrī:] Once when I was praying with Bishr ibn al- Ḥārith, I lifted my hands. After the prayer leader had signaled the end of the ritual prayer, Bishr said, “Abū Isḥāq, I’m surprised that you and your teacher Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal lift your hands. I heard Hushaym report, citing Mughīrah, that Ibrāhīm used to tell people to let their hands drop when they pray.”83 13.47
我去找艾哈迈德,把比舍尔所说的话告诉了他。他回答道:"使者的二十七位同伴曾经举手(祈祷)。"接着他诵读了:«违背他命令的人应当警惕»,并评论说:"举手使拜功更加美好。"于是我回去找比舍尔,把艾哈迈德所说的话告诉了他。"我与他相比算什么?"他惊呼道,"我与他相比算什么?他比我更懂。他比我更懂!"[穆罕默德·伊本·贾法尔:]我听易卜拉欣转述,引述他的叔叔贾赫姆·欧格巴里的话。此人曾经既去拜访艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒,也去拜访比舍尔·伊本·哈里斯。他说了以下的话:"有一天我去拜见艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒。他正把他的遮羞布披在身上……"85
I went to Aḥmad and told him what Bishr had said. He replied, “Seventeen of the Emissary’s Companions used to lift their hands.” Then he recited, «Let those who go against his order beware»84 and remarked, “Lifting one’s hands makes the ritual prayer more beautiful.” So I went back to Bishr and told him what Aḥmad had said. “Who am I compared to him?” he exclaimed. “Who am I compared to him? He knows better. He knows better!” [Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar:] I heard Ibrāhīm report, citing his uncle al-Jahm al- ʿUkbarī, who used to attend both Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal and Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith, the following: “One day I went to see Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal. He had draped his breechclout85
“他的一侧肩膀上搭着衣服，但衣服已经滑落，露出了他身上的伤疤。”他或许还补充道：“我的眼眶湿润了。”他接着说：“艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒看到我在注视，便把衣服拉了回去。13。”48
over one shoulder but it had slipped down, revealing his scars.” He may have added, “My eyes filled with tears.” He continued: “Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal saw me looking and pulled the garment back up. 13.48
“后来我去拜访毕什尔·本·哈里斯，把这件事讲给他听。”他惊叹道：“你要是知道就好了！他们给他带来的伤害与痛苦，正使艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒在伊斯兰中高高飞扬。”我把这个故事讲给艾布·伯克尔·马鲁陀疾听，他很喜欢，并把它记了下来。
“Later I went to see Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith and told him the story. ‘If only you knew!’ he exclaimed. ‘With the hurt and pain they brought him,86 Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal has flown high in Islam.’” I repeated this story to Abū Bakr al-Marrūdhī, who liked it and wrote it down.
[易卜拉欣·本·伊斯哈格·哈尔比：] 我听到比什尔·本·哈里斯说，他听到穆阿法·本·伊姆兰说，有人请苏夫扬·塞乌里解释什么是“futuwwah”（侠义精神）。
[Ibrāhīm ibn Ishāq al-Ḥarbi:] I heard Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith say that he heard al- Muʿāfā ibn ʿImrān say that Sufyān al-Thawrī was asked to explain what futuwwah is.
苏夫扬答道:"武瓦(futuwwah,即品格与侠义精神)在于谨慎与谦逊。它始于自律,并因修养忍耐与良好的品行而更显光彩。在其最高境界,它要求具备宗教知识,并严格避免可疑的行为。具有武瓦精神的人规律地礼拜,善待父母与亲属,慷慨施舍,并关照邻人。他不傲慢自大,也不偏离常理;他保持尊严,避免注视不该看的事物。他说话温和,热情地问候他人,并支持其他正直、明理的青年(fityān),他们知道神要他们做什么、不做什么。他说实话,避免发誓。他友善、开朗、和蔼可亲,并且善于倾听。"
Sufyān replied as follows: “Futuwwah is mindfulness and modesty. It starts with selfdiscipline, and it gains luster by the cultivation of forbearance and good manners. In its highest form, it demands religious knowledge and the scrupulous avoidance of dubious activities. A man of futuwwah prays regularly, treats his parents and relatives kindly, spends freely, and cares for his neighbor. He is not overbearing, nor does he diverge from common practice; he maintains his dignity and avoids looking at things he shouldn’t. He speaks gently, greets others cheerfully, and supports any other rightthinking fityān who know what God wants them to do and not to do. He speaks the truth and avoids swearing oaths. He is friendly, cheerful, convivial, and a good listener.
他懂得保守秘密，掩盖他人的过失，并且妥善保管托付给他的一切。他从不背后捅人刀子，言出必行。在人群中他保持沉默，但若有需要，他也能坚定地表达自己的立场；即使无需谦卑，他依然谦逊地行事。他尊敬长辈，善待晚辈，并尽其所能帮助穆斯林兄弟。遭遇逆境时，他坚忍忍耐；顺境之时，他不忘感恩。futuwwah的完满境界在于敬畏伟大而尊贵的真主，凡具备这些品德的人，便是真正的fatā。” 13.49
He knows how to keep a secret, to conceal the shortcomings of others, and to take good care of whatever is entrusted to him. He stabs no one in the back and he keeps his word. He keeps silent in company, though he can hold his own if he must, and walks humbly even when he need not do so. He respects his elders, treats younger people kindly, and does whatever he can to help his fellow Muslims. When things go badly, he suffers patiently; when things go well, he remembers to be grateful. The full perfection of futuwwah is fear of God, mighty and glorious, and anyone who posesses these virtues is a true fatā.” 13.49
bishr ibn al-Ḥārith 随后说道："按照Sufyān的说法，Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal确实是一位fatā，因为他具备所有这些美德。不仅如此，他还穿着一条用捻过的布做的遮羞布。"
Note: names and transliterated terms are kept as they appear in the original, and the reply is the translation only.87
Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith then said, “According to Sufyān, then, Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal was a fatā, since he did have all those virtues. Not only that: he wore a breechclout of twisted cloth.”87
