[Al-Marrūdhī:] 我听到艾哈迈德说："我直到四十岁才结婚。" 62.1

[Al-Marrūdhī:] I heard Aḥmad say, “I didn’t marry until I was forty.” 62.1

【作者：】他的第一位妻子是阿巴萨·宾特·法德勒，她是萨利赫的母亲。

[The author:] His first wife was ʿAbbāsah bint al-Faḍl, who was Ṣāliḥ’s mother.

[Al-Khallāl:] 艾哈迈德·本·罕百勒的孙子祖海尔向我们口述了以下内容。

[Al-Khallāl:] Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal’s grandson Zuhayr dictated the following to us.

“我的祖父，愿真主怜悯他，娶了我父亲的母亲阿拔斯·宾特·法德勒，她是麦地那郊外的一位阿拉伯人。她只生下一个孩子——我的父亲——之后便去世了。” 62.2

“My grandfather, God have mercy on him, married my father’s mother, ʿAbbāsah bint al-Faḍl, an Arab from just outside Medina. She had only one child—my father—and then she died.” 62.2

[Al-Marrūdhī：] 我听到艾哈迈德说：“萨利赫的母亲和我一起生活了三十年，从未有过争执。”315 62.3

[Al-Marrūdhī:] I heard Aḥmad say, “Ṣāliḥ’s mother and I lived together for thirty years and never had an argument.”315 62.3

他的第二位妻子，雷海娜（Rayḥānah），是阿卜杜拉的母亲316

HIS SECOND WIFE, RAYḤĀNAH, ʿABD ALLĀH’S MOTHER316

[Zuhayr:] 在萨利哈的母亲阿巴萨去世后，我的父亲娶了一位名叫莱哈娜的阿拉伯女子。她只为他生了一个孩子：我的叔叔阿卜杜拉。62。4

[Zuhayr:] After Ṣāliḥ’s mother, ʿAbbāsah, died, my father married an Arab woman named Rayḥānah. She bore him only one child: my uncle ʿAbd Allāh. 62.4

[穆罕默德·本·巴哈尔：] 我听我叔叔转述说：“当我们都聚集起来为艾哈迈德和穆罕默德·本·雷汗的妹妹举行婚礼时，她的父亲对他说：‘艾布·阿卜杜拉，她是——’并用手指按了按自己的眼睛，意思是‘她是独眼’。62。”5

[Muḥammad ibn Baḥr:] I heard my uncle report: “When we all gathered to marry Aḥmad and Muḥammad ibn Rayḥān’s sister, her father said to him, ‘Abū ʿAbd Allāh, she’s—’ and laid a finger on his eye, meaning ‘She’s one-eyed.’ 62.5

“艾哈迈德说：‘我早就知道。’”[艾哈迈德·本·安巴尔：] 当萨利赫的母亲去世后，艾哈迈德对家里的一位女眷说：“你去找我的某某堂妹，问她是否愿意嫁给我。” 62.6

“Aḥmad said, ‘I knew that.’” [Aḥmad ibn ʿAnbar:] When Ṣālih’s mother died, Aḥmad said to one of the women of the house, “Go to my cousin So-and-So and ask her if she’ll agree to marry me.” 62.6

堂兄讲述说:“于是我去求婚,她同意了。但我回来时,他问:‘她的姐妹在旁边听着吗?’”“我告诉他,那位姐妹——她是独眼的——一直在旁边听着。他说:‘你回去,为那位独眼的求婚。’于是我去了,她接受了。”这位女子就是阿卜杜拉的母亲。结婚七年后,她问他:“表哥,你觉得我们的生活怎么样?有没有什么你不喜欢的?”“没有,”他回答,“只是你的那双凉鞋会吱吱作响。” 阿勒-海拉勒也说:“我记得赫塔ब·伊本·比施尔曾说,艾哈迈德的一位妻子在进入家门几天后对他说:‘我有没有做错什么?’ 62.7

The cousin reported: “So I went and asked, and she agreed. But when I came back, he asked, ‘Was her sister listening?’ “I told him that the sister”—who was one-eyed—“had been listening. He said, ‘Go back and ask for the one with one eye.’ So I did, and she accepted.” This was ʿAbd Allāh’s mother. After seven years of marriage, she asked him, “Cousin, how do things seem to you? Is there anything you don’t like?” “Nothing,” he answered, “except that those sandals of yours squeak.” Al-Khallāl also said: “I remember Khaṭṭāb ibn Bishr saying that one of Aḥmad’s wives said to him a few days after she came into the household: ‘Is there anything I’m doing wrong?’ 62.7

“‘没有，’他回答说，‘只是你穿的那双凉鞋在先知的时代并不存在。’”于是她把它们卖了，买了一双maqṭūʿ，她便穿着它。

“‘No,’ he answered, ‘except that those sandals you’re wearing didn’t exist at the time of the Prophet, God bless and keep him.’” So she sold them and bought a maqṭūʿ,317 which she would wear.

阿卜杜勒·哈拉勒补充说，他所说的那位妇女就是此人，即阿卜杜拉的母亲。

Al-Khallāl added that the woman he was talking about is this one: that is, ʿAbd Allāh’s mother.

他还听到al-Marrūdhī说，他听到Aḥmad提到一位妻子，并为她祈求真主的怜悯。随后他说：“我们一起生活了二十年，从未发生过争执。”这位女子就是ʿAbd Allāh的母亲。

He also heard al-Marrūdhī say that he heard Aḥmad mention a wife and ask God to have mercy on her. Then he said, “We lived together for twenty years and never had an argument.” That’s this woman: ʿAbd Allāh’s mother.

[作者:] 我此前已引用艾哈迈德的话,说萨利赫的母亲与他共同生活了三十年;而这份最后的记载则说,他与一位妻子共同生活了二十年。尽管这两则记载都归于马鲁然迪名下,但其中必有一则有误。艾哈迈德直到四十岁才结婚,并且直到萨利赫的母亲去世之后才再次结婚。如果他与她生活了三十年,又与第二位妻子生活了二十年,那他就必须活到九十岁。然而他只活到七十七岁。此外,他若要娶阿卜杜拉的母亲,就得在七十岁以后才成婚;但我们知道,在他去世之时,阿卜杜拉早已在传述他的圣训、并与他一同旅行。艾哈迈德常说,阿卜杜拉——他在父亲在世时就已开始求学圣训,并听过许多老师讲授——记忆圣训的能力很好。因此,我认为艾哈迈德与之共同生活二十年的那个人,是萨利赫的母亲——但真主最为知晓。62.8

[The author:] I’ve already quoted Aḥmad as saying that Ṣāliḥ’s mother lived with him for thirty years, and this last report says that he and a wife lived together for twenty. Although both reports are attributed to al-Marrūdhī, one of them must be wrong. Aḥmad did not marry at all until he was forty and did not marry again until after Ṣāliḥ’s mother had died. If he spent thirty years with her and another twenty with the second wife, he would have to have lived for ninety years. Yet he only lived to be seventy-seven. Moreover, he would need to have married ʿAbd Allāh’s mother when he was over seventy, but we know that by the time he died, ʿAbd Allāh was already transmitting his reports and traveling with him. Aḥmad used to say that ʿAbd Allāh— who had already begun seeking Hadith and had heard many teachers while his father was still alive—had a good head for memorizing Hadith. Therefore, I think that the person Aḥmad lived with for twenty years was Ṣāliḥ’s mother—though God knows best. 62.8

无论如何，这两位是他所知的妻子。我们没有听说过第三位。

These, in any case, are the two wives he is known to have had. We have not heard of a third.
