[伊本·阿比·al-Dunyā：] 我听到阿布·尤苏夫·伊本·布赫坦（他是一位虔诚的穆斯林）讲述：艾哈迈德·伊本·罕百勒去世后，有人梦见每座坟墓上都有一盏灯。他问这是为什么，得到的回答是：“你没有看见吗？那人一被葬入他们之中，所有亡者的坟墓就都被照亮了。一些正在受刑的亡者也因此获得了宽恕。”95.1

[Ibn Abī l-Dunyā:] I heard Abū Yūsuf ibn Bukhtān—who was a good Muslim—report that when Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal died, someone had a dream where he saw a lamp on every grave. When he asked why, he was told, “Don’t you see? As soon as that man was put in among them, the tombs of all the dead were illuminated. Some of the dead who were being tormented were forgiven.” 95.1

[ʿUbayd ibn Sharīk:] 一个死去的变装皇后在梦中被人看见，他说：“我已经得到宽恕：当艾哈迈德被安置在我们中间时，所有已故并已埋葬的人都得到了宽恕。” 95.2

[ʿUbayd ibn Sharīk:] A drag queen524 who died was seen in a dream saying, “I’ve been forgiven: as soon as Aḥmad was placed among us, everyone dead and buried was forgiven.” 95.2

[al-Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad：] 当al-Qaṭīʿī的母亲去世时，他把她葬在Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal的墓旁。几夜之后，她在梦中向他显现。他问她过得如何，她说："愿真主保佑你，我的儿子！每天夜里"——或者说"每个星期五夜里"——"一股慈悲之波降临在你把我葬在其旁的那个人的墓上，它覆盖了所有葬在这里的人，包括我。"95.3

[Al-Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad:] When al-Qaṭīʿī’s mother died, he had her buried near Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal. A few nights later she appeared to him in a dream. He asked her how she had fared and she said, “God bless you, my son! Every night”—or “Every Friday night”—“a wave of mercy descends on the grave of the man you buried me near, and it covers all of us buried here, including me.” 95.3

[Al-Jammāl:] 一天夜里，在埋葬着艾哈迈德的墓地里，我诵读了经文 «其中有些人将受火刑，有些人将获福佑。»525 随后我打起盹来，听到一个声音说：“因着艾哈迈德的缘故，这里没有一个人受罚，感谢真主！” 95.4

[Al-Jammāl:] One night, in the cemetery where Aḥmad is buried, I recited the verse «Among those some shall be damned, and others shall be blessed.»525 Then I nodded off and heard a voice say, “Because of Aḥmad’s presence, no one here is damned, thank God!” 95.4

[作者:]据说一位早期的穆斯林讲述了以下故事。95.5

[The author:] One of the early Muslims is said to have told the following story. 95.5

在我住的地方，有一位老妇人，是一位虔诚的崇拜者，她侍奉真主长达五十年。有一天，她惊恐地醒来。

Where I lived there was an old woman, a Worshipper, who had spent fifty years serving God. One day she woke up in terror.

“昨晚一个精灵来找我，”她说，“他说他是我的男性对应者。”526

“Last night a jinni came to me,” she said. “He said he was my male counterpart.526

他告诉我,精灵(jinn)曾偷听到天使们互相慰问,说一位名叫艾哈迈德·本·韩百勒的虔诚之人即将去世,并将葬于某某地。凡在那附近定居的人,真主都会赦免他,所以如果你感到死亡临近,就去那里吧。请相信我,我这样告诉你是为了你好。你会在他去世的次日夜里死去。结果果然如此,我们便知道那是一个真实的梦。

He told me that the jinns had overheard the angels offering each other condolences on the imminent death of a righteous man named Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal who would be buried in Such-and-Such a place. God will forgive anyone who takes up residence nearby, so if you can go there when you feel death coming on, do it. Please believe me: I’m telling you this for your own good. You’ll die the night after he does.” And that’s what happened, so we knew it was a truthful dream.

[Abū l-Barakāt:] 我有一位名叫萨比特的朋友：他是一位虔诚的善人，诵读古兰经，劝人行善，禁人作恶。他去世时，我因为一件事情耽搁了，没有为他举行殡礼。之后他在梦中来见我。我向他问安，他没有回答，而是转身避开了。95.6

[Abū l-Barakāt:] I had a friend named Thābit: a righteous man who read the Qurʾan, called on people to do good, and forbade them to do ill. When he died, I didn’t pray over him because something happened to prevent me. Then he came to me in a dream. When I greeted him, he didn’t answer, and turned aside. 95.6

“Thābit！”我说，“我们一直是这么好的朋友，你怎么能无视我？”“既然我们是朋友，你为什么不为我祈祷？”我随即向他道歉，然后请他告诉我，既然他被埋葬在艾哈迈德的墓地，那里的情况如何。

“Thābit!” I said. “How can you ignore me when we’ve been such good friends?” “So if we’re friends, why didn’t you pray over me?” I apologized to him then asked him to tell me how things were in Aḥmad’s burial ground, since he’d been buried there.

“这里没有人能感受到火狱的痛苦，”他说。

“No one here feels the Fire,” he said.

“那古莱氏的墓地呢？”“关于那个，我不知道，”他说，“我已经把我所知道的都告诉你了。”“当有新人来加入你们时，你们会去拜访他们并询问他们的情况吗？”“我们会去拜访，询问他们留在世上的亲人。”[作者：]我读到过我的老师阿布·哈桑·阿里·本·欧拜杜拉·本·扎古尼的亲笔记载，内容如下：“当先知的后裔艾布·贾法尔·本·艾布·穆萨被葬在他旁边时，艾哈迈德·本·韩百勒的坟墓被暴露了出来。”

“What about the burial ground of Quraysh?” “I don’t know about that,” he said. “I’ve told you as much as I know.” “When someone new comes to join you, do you visit them and ask them questions?” “We visit and ask about the living people they’ve left behind.” [The author:] I read something my teacher Abū l-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn ʿUbayd Allāh ibn al-Zāghūnī wrote in his own hand, as follows: “When the Prophet’s descendant Abū Jaʿfar ibn Abī Mūsā was buried next to him, Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal’s tomb was exposed.

他的遗体没有腐烂，裹尸布也依然完好无损。”95。7

His corpse had not putrified and the shroud was still whole and undecayed.” 95.7

阿布·贾法尔在伊本·罕百勒去世后一百二十九年去世。

Abū Jaʿfar died 129 years after Ibn Ḥanbal.
