55 – The judge Abū al-Qāsim informed us; Abū ʿAlī narrated to us; ʿAbdullāh narrated to us; Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Azdī narrated to me; from Ṭalq ibn Ghannām, who said: “I asked Ḥafṣ ibn Ghiyāth about the meaning of the Prophet’s—peace and blessings be upon him—saying, ‘Seek your needs from those of pleasant faces.’ He answered, ‘It is not a matter of mere physical comeliness; rather, it refers to the beauty of one’s face when he is approached with a request for kindness.’”}
٥٥ - أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاضِي أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَزْدِيُّ، عَنْ طَلْقِ بْنِ غَنَّامٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ حَفْصَ بْنَ غَيَّاثٍ، عَنْ تَفْسِيرِ حَدِيثِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: «اطْلُبُوا الْحَوَائِجَ مِنْ حِسَانِ الْوُجُوهِ» ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِصَبَاحَةِ الْوَجْهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ حُسْنُ الْوَجْهِ إِذَا سُئِلَ الْمَعْرُوفَ
