139 – Ahmad ibn ʿImran ibn ʿAbd al-Malik al-Akhnasi narrated to us. He said: I heard Abu Khalid relay—from Ibn ʿAjlan, from Saʿid ibn Abi Saʿid al-Maqburi—that he said:

“It was among the supplications of the Prophet David, peace be upon him: ‘O Allah, if ever You see me forsake the assemblies of those who remember You for the assemblies of the arrogant, then break my legs, for that would be a favor You have bestowed upon me.’”
