20 – ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Ṣāliḥ narrated to me; Abū Usāmah reported to us, from Jarīr b. Ḥāzim, from Muḥammad b. Sīrīn, who said: ⦗29⦘
When evening fell upon the People of the Ṣuffah, one man would take another home, another man would take two, yet another might take five; but Saʿd b. ʿUbādah would take as many as eighty every single night.
٢٠ - حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: ⦗٢٩⦘ كَانَ أَهْلُ الصُّفَّةِ إِذَا أَمْسَوُا انْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ بِالرَّجُلِ، وَالرَّجُلُ بِالرَّجُلَيْنِ، وَالرَّجُلُ بِالْخَمْسَةِ، فَأَمَّا سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْطَلِقُ بِثَمَانِينَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ "
