Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd al-Mubārakī related: Abū Shihāb narrated to us, from al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAmr, from his father, that he once went in to Ibrāhīm and said, “Abū ʿImrān.”

Ḍamrah ibn Rabīʿah said: I heard a man recount that when Ḥammād ibn Abī Sulaymān arrived in Basra, Farqad al-Sabakhī came to see him wearing a woollen robe.
