Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

I said, “This runs contrary to the Sunnah, and the prohibition against reciting the entire Qur’an in less than three days is soundly established.” ⦗1⦘

Yazīd narrated to us from ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī Sulaymān, from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr: he used to complete the Qur’an every two nights. ⦗2⦘

Yaʿqūb al-Qummī related—from Jaʿfar ibn Abī al-Mughīra—that whenever the people of Kūfa came to Ibn ʿAbbās for rulings, he would say, “Is not Ibn Umm al-Dahmāʾ among you?”—meaning Saʿīd ibn Jubayr. ⦗3⦘

Ibn Mahdī reported—from Sufyān, from ʿAmr ibn Maymūn, from his father ⦗4⦘—who said: “Saʿīd ibn Jubayr has died, and there is no one on the face of the earth who is not in need of his knowledge.”

Dirār ibn Murrā transmitted from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr that he said, “Reliance upon Allah is the sum of faith.”

He would often supplicate, “O Allah, I ask You for true reliance upon You and a good opinion of You.” ⦗5⦘

Abū ʿAwāna narrated—from Hilāl ibn Khabbāb—who said: “I travelled with Saʿīd ibn Jubayr in Rajab, and he entered ihram (a state of consecration) from Kūfa for ʿumrah. After completing the ʿumrah he returned, and in the middle of Dhu al-Qaʿdah he entered ihram again for the pilgrimage. Each year he would enter ihram ⦗6⦘ twice: once for Hajj and once for ʿumrah.”

قُلْتُ: هَذَا خِلاَفُ السُّنَّةِ، وَقَدْ صَحَّ النَّهْيُ عَنْ قِرَاءةِ القُرْآنِ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثٍ (١) . يَزِيْدُ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ المَلِكِ بنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيْدِ بنِ جُبَيْرٍ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْتِمُ القُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَتَيْنِ (٢) . يَعْقُوْبُ القُمِّيُّ: عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بنِ أَبِي المُغِيْرَةِ: كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِذَا أَتَاهُ أَهْلُ الكُوْفَةِ يَسْتَفْتُوْنَهُ، يَقُوْلُ: أَلَيْسَ فِيْكُمُ ابْنُ أُمِّ الدَّهْمَاءِ؟ -يَعْنِي: سَعِيْدَ بنَ جُبَيْرٍ (٣) -. قَالَ ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ: عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بنِ مَيْمُوْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيْهِ (٤) ، قَالَ: لَقَدْ مَاتَ سَعِيْدُ بنُ جُبَيْرٍ، وَمَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى عِلْمِهِ. وَقَالَ ضِرَارُ بنُ مُرَّةَ: عَنْ سَعِيْدِ بنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ: التَّوَكُّل عَلَى اللهِ جِمَاعُ الإِيْمَانِ. وَكَانَ يَدْعُو: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ صِدْقَ التَّوَكُّلِ عَلَيْكَ، وَحُسْنَ الظَنِّ بِكَ (٥) . أَبُو عَوَانَةَ: عَنْ هِلاَلِ بنِ خَبَّابٍ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ سَعِيْدِ بنِ جُبَيْرٍ فِي رَجَبٍ، فَأَحْرَمَ مِنَ الكُوْفَةِ بِعُمْرَةٍ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ مِنْ عُمْرَتِهِ، ثُمَّ أَحْرَمَ بِالحَجِّ فِي النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذِي القَعْدَةِ، وَكَانَ يُحْرِمُ (٦) فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ؛ مَرَّةً لِلْحَجِّ، وَمَرَّةً لِلْعُمْرَةِ.
