76 – al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; he said: ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; he said: Abū Kurayb narrated to us; he said: al-Muḥāribī narrated to us; he said: al-Aʿmash narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Murrah, who said:
Rabiʿ ibn Khaytham had been afflicted with paralysis. Water trickled from his mouth and ran down onto his beard. He raised his hand but could not wipe it away, so Bakr ibn Maʿiz came forward and wiped it off for him. Rabiʿ looked at him and then said, “O Bakr, by Allah, I would not wish that this affliction of mine be transferred even to the most defiant of the Daylam in Allah’s sight.”
٧٦ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ: حَدّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ خَيْثَمَ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ فَالِجٌ قَالَ: فَسَالَ مِنْ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَجَرَى عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَمْسَحَهُ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ بَكْرُ بْنُ مَاعِزٍ فَمَسَحَهُ عَنْهُ فَلَحَظَهُ رَبِيعٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا بَكْرُ وَاللَّهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ هَذَا الَّذِي بِي بِأَعْتَى الدَّيْلَمِ عَلَى اللَّهِ»
