Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad al-Firyābī—who said: “Hishām ibn ʿAmmār narrated to us; ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Abī Ḥāzim, from his father, from Ibn ʿUmar:

He saw some people entering the mosque and asked, ‘Where have these people come from?’

They replied, ‘From the governor.’

He said, ‘If they see something reprehensible, do they forbid it? And if they see something good, do they enjoin it?’

They answered, ‘No.’

He said, ‘Then what do they do?’

They said, ‘They praise him while they are with him, and when they leave his presence they revile him.’

Ibn ʿUmar remarked, ‘In the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we used to regard hypocrisy as something less serious than this.’

Its transmitters are trustworthy, but the chain is not fully connected; I do not think Abū Ḥāzim actually heard it from Ibn ʿUmar.⦗1⦘

Through the same chain: Hishām ibn ʿAmmār narrated to us; Asad ibn Mūsā narrated to us; ʿAwf ibn Mūsā al-Baṣrī said, ‘I heard Muʿāwiya ibn Qurra say:

“To be kept free from hypocrisy is dearer to me than the whole world and everything in it; ʿUmar used to fear it, yet I feel safe from it!”’

Al-Bukhārī and others said: Hishām ibn ʿAmmār died at the end of Muḥarram in the year 245 AH.

His son Aḥmad—one of those who had recited the Qur’an to him—lived on until 316 AH.

The Imām, ḥadīth scholar, Abū Jaʿfar al-Jumahī, reliable and the principal transmitter of Baṣra.

He lived one hundred years.
