【Bilāl al-Khawwāṣ:】我在以色列人的旷野中，忽然发现一个人走在我身边。我很惊讶，但随即有人使我明白，他就是 al-Khaḍir。16.1

[Bilāl al-Khawwāṣ:] I was in the desert of the Israelites when suddenly I found a man walking beside me. I was surprised, but then I was given to realize that he was al- Khaḍir. 16.1

“我指着真主起誓，”我说，“你是谁？”“你的兄弟赫德尔。”“我想问你一件事。”“请说。”“你怎么看沙斐仪？”“他是那些支柱之一。”105

“I ask you by God,” I said. “Who are you?” “Your brother al-Khaḍir.” “I want to ask you something.” “Go ahead.” “What do you think of al-Shāfiʿī?” “He’s one of the Pegs.”105

“Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal 怎么样？”“一位讲真话的人。”106

“What about Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal?” “A truth-teller.”106

“那么，比舍尔·本·哈里斯呢？”“他是他那一类人中最后一位了。”“那我怎么能见到你呢？”“因为你孝顺你的母亲。”[一位巴格达人说：]我乘船旅行，我们在一个岛上靠岸。岛上坐着一位白发苍苍的老人。我向他问好，他问我从哪里来。16.2

“What about Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith?” “He’s the last of his kind.” “So how is it that I’m able to see you?” “Because you were kind to your mother.” [A man of Baghdad:] I was traveling on a ship and we landed on an island. There was an elderly white-haired man sitting there. I greeted him and he asked me where I was from. 16.2

“我说：‘从巴格达来。’”

“From Baghdad,” I said.

“当你到达那里时，”他说，“请替我向伊本·罕百勒问好，并告诉他：«要忍耐！真主的应许是真实的；不要让那些不肯确信的人使你灰心。»”107

“When you get there,” he said, “give Ibn Ḥanbal my regards, and tell him, «Have patience! God’s promise is true; let not those who will not be convinced make you discouraged.»”107

然后他消失了,我们才意识到他就是al-Khaḍir。

Then he disappeared, and we realized that he was al-Khaḍir.
