Muḥammad ibn Fuḍayl narrated, on the authority of his father:

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Nuʿm would remain in the state of iḥrām (pilgrim consecration) from one year to the next, continually proclaiming the talbiya, “Here I am at Your service!” and saying, “If this were mere display, it would have vanished.”

It is also related that he reproached al-Ḥajjāj for the multitude of killings he ordered. Al-Ḥajjāj therefore resolved to seize him, whereupon ʿAbd al-Raḥmān said, “Those beneath the earth are more numerous than those walking upon it.”

Abū Bakr ibn ʿAyyāsh transmitted this story from Mughīra and mentioned it in full.

Ḥafṣ ibn Ghiyāth reported, from ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī Sulaymān:
“We used to set out with ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Nuʿm while he chanted the talbiya in a plaintive voice. He would travel to Khurasan and to the farthest frontiers of the earth, yet still reach Mecca in the same state of iḥrām.

“He would break his fast only twice in the course of a month.”

I (the author) say: He died sometime after 100 AH.

I read this report before Isḥāq al-Asadī—(he informed you); Ibn Khalīl informed us; Abū al-Makārim al-Taymī informed us; Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥaddād informed us; Abū Nuʿaym informed us; Sulaymān ibn Aḥmad narrated to us; ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz narrated to us; Abū Nuʿaym narrated to us; and Yazīd ibn Mardānaba together with al-Ḥakam ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Nuʿm narrated from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Nuʿm, from Abū Saʿīd, who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn are the lords of the youth of Paradise.” (1)
