30 – Muhammad ibn Idris narrated to me; Haywah ibn Shurayh narrated to us; Baqiyyah narrated from al-Masʿudi, who said: Awn ibn ʿAbd Allah would place his hand beneath his beard, tilt it up toward his face, gaze at it, and weep, saying, “My Lord, have mercy on my gray hair.”
٣٠ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنِ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ، قَالَ: كَانَ عَوْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ لِحْيَتِهِ، ثُمَّ يُمِيلُهَا إِلَى وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا فَيَبْكِي وَيَقُولُ: إِلَهِي ارْحَمْ شَيْبَتِي
