6 瓦希希的记忆
6 Wahshi’s Memory
贾法尔·本·阿慕尔·al-杜马里说:
Ja‘far ibn ‘Amr al-Dumarī says:
我和‘Ubaid Allah ibn ‘Adī ibn Khiyór 前往Hims [叙利亚]。当时,Waúshī 也定居在ûimü,因此我们去拜见他。他一看到‘Ubaid Allóh,便问道:“你是‘Adī ibn Khiyór 的儿子吗?”
‘Ubaid Allah ibn ‘Adī ibn Khiyór and I went to Hims [Syria]. At that time, Waúshī was also settled in ûimü; therefore we went to go and meet him. As soon as he saw ‘Ubaid Allóh, he asked, “Are you the son of ‘Adī ibn Khiyór?”.
“是的,我是他的儿子。”‘Ubaid Allāh回答道,“但你怎么认得我?我以前从未见过你。”
‘Ubaid Allóh replied, “Yes, I am his son. But how do you know me, I have never met you before.”.
瓦哈什回答说:“我们确实从未见过面,但你出生的时候,我把你抱起来交给了接生婆。当我抱起你时,你全身都被遮盖着,只有你的双脚露在外面。今天你来的时候,我看到你的双脚,就认出了你。”
Waúshī replied, “It is true we have never met before, but when you were born I picked you up and gave you to the mid-wife. When I picked you up, everything was covered except your feet. Today, when you came I saw your feet and recognized you.”.
wahshī 在多少年后见到了 ʿUbaid Allah ibn ʿAdi ibn Khiyār?伊本·哈哲尔在《Fatḥ al-Bārī》中写道:“出生之后,他第二次见到他是在五十年之后。”14 令人惊奇的是,Wahshī 立刻就认出了他。15
Waúshī saw ‘Ubaid Allah ibn ‘Adi ibn Khiyór after how many years? Hafiz ibn Hajar writes in Fatú al-Barī, “After birth, he saw him for the second time after fifty years”.14 And the amazing part is that Wahshī recognized him immediately.15
历史类书籍和记载传述人生平的典籍中充满了此类事迹。首先,真主(SWTH)赐予他们非凡的记忆力;其次,他们对圣训满怀热忱,竭尽所能地迈出每一步、付出每一分努力去获取其中的知识。他们在这方面的奋斗与艰辛,在我们今天看来并不难理解和体会。
The books of history and the books on the biographies of the narrators are full of such incidents. Firstly Allah (SWTH) blessed them with extraordinary memories, and, secondly, they were so passionate about ahadith that they took every step and made every effort within their means to gain knowledge of it. Their endeavors and hardships in this regard are not difficult for us to realize and understand in our times.
