[Al-Hindibāʾī:] 我以前常去拜谒艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒的墓，后来停止了。过了一段时间，我做了一个梦，梦中有一个声音说：“你不再去拜谒圣行的典范了。”941

[Al-Hindibāʾī:] I used to visit Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal’s grave but then stopped. After some time had passed, I had a dream where a voice said, “You’ve stopped visiting the exemplar of the sunnah.” 94.1

[艾哈迈德·伊本·哈桑：] 我父亲引述艾布·塔希尔·阿尔-迈蒙的话说：“孩子，我在鲁萨法清真寺遇见一个人，那是在466年斋月的第二个月（即1073年12月）。我问他时，他告诉我，他为了到那里，走了六百里格的路。94。”2

[Aḥmad ibn al-Ḥasan:] My father cited Abū Ṭāhir al-Maymūn as saying, “Son, I met a man in the Ruṣāfah mosque—this was in Rabīʿ II 466 [December 1073]—who told me when I asked him that he had traveled six hundred leagues to be there. 94.2

“‘为什么？’ “‘有一个星期五的夜里，在我家乡，’他说，‘我梦见自己在沙漠里，或者在一片广袤的荒野中。创造中的所有人都站在那里，天堂的大门敞开着，天使正从天上降下。天使为某些人披上绿色的衣服，然后带着他们飞回天上。我问那些特别的人是谁。’ “‘是那些拜访过艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒的人。’ “我一醒来，就整理好自己的事务，来到了这里。我已经拜访过他好几次了，现在我要回家了，如果真主愿意的话。”[艾布·伯克尔·本·阿布鲁瓦伊赫：] 真主的使者和艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒在梦中向我显现。94.3

“‘Why?’ “‘One Friday night back home,’ he said, ‘I dreamed I was in the desert, or in a great wilderness. All the people in creation were standing there, the gates of Heaven were open, and angels were coming down. The angels were dressing certain people in green and flying back up with them. I asked who the special ones were.’ “‘The ones who visited Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal.’ “As soon as I woke up, I put my affairs in order and came here. I’ve visited him several times and now I’m going home, God willing.” [Abū Bakr ibn Abruwayh:] The Emissary of God and Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal appeared to me in a dream. 94.3

“使者啊，”我问道，“那是谁？”“这是艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒，他是真主的密友，也是真主使者的密友。听着，艹·伯克尔！每天，真主都会向艾哈迈德的坟墓看七万次，凡是他看到在那里的人，就会赦免他。”我醒来后洗了大净，为感谢真主，礼了两拜。然后我脱下衣服，把它们施舍给穷人，便动身去朝觐。此后，我前去拜谒艾哈迈德的陵墓，并在那里住了一周。

“Emissary of God,” I asked, “who’s that?” “This is Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, God’s ally and the ally of His Emissary. Listen, Abū Bakr! Every day God looks over at Aḥmad’s grave seventy thousand times and forgives anyone he sees there.” I woke up, washed, and prayed two cycles in gratitude to God. Then I took off my clothes, gave them away to the poor, and set off on the pilgrimage. After that I visited Aḥmad’s tomb and spent a week there.

[Abū Bakr al-Najjād:] 我曾听说，任何身陷困境的人，若在星期三前往艾哈迈德的墓地祈祷，便会从真主那里获得丰厚的给养。所以有一次我生活窘迫，便在星期三去了那座墓。我在返回的路上心情沮丧，这时一位老妇人从某处墓园里叫住了我。94.4

[Abū Bakr al-Najjād:] I had heard that anyone in need who visits Aḥmad’s grave on a Wednesday and prays there will receive generous sustenance from God. So once when I was in need, I visited the grave on a Wednesday. I was on my way back in a dismal frame of mind when an old woman called out to me from one of the cemeteries. 94.4

"阿布·伯克尔！"她说。

“Abū Bakr!” she said.

“这是什么？”“你母亲把一个袋子留给我，并嘱咐我，如果看见你显得穷困，就把它交给你。你需要吗？”“是的，”我说着，接过了它。袋子里装着—— 金额缺失了。愿真主眷顾那位传述这段故事的尊贵长者！ [Abū l-Ḥasan al-ʿUkbarī:] 我还是个少年的时候，身无分文，从ʿUkbarā一路走到巴格达。我在圆城内的清真寺里住了好几天［他或许还补充了一句：“没有吃东西。”］。星期三那天，我去拜访艾哈迈德的墓。在那里，我遇到一个人向我问好——我穿着体面的衣服523——他问我是不是饿了。我没有作声，他便给了我一些面包，还有足够维持一段时间生活的金币。此后一段时间，他还继续关照我。94.5

“What is it?” “Your mother left a bag with me and told me that if I saw you looking needy I should give it to you. Do you need it?” “Yes,” I said, and took it. In it was— The amount is missing, may God care for the worthy elder who transmitted the story! [Abū l-Ḥasan al-ʿUkbarī:] When I was a boy I traveled from ʿUkbarā down to Baghdad without any money to spend. I stayed in the mosque inside the Round City for several days [“without eating,” he may have added]. On Wednesday I went to visit Aḥmad’s tomb. There I found a man who greeted me—I was wearing fine clothes523— and asked me if I was hungry. When I said nothing, he gave me some bread and enough gold to live on for a while. For a while he continued to check on me. 94.5
