24 – ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; he said: Abū Kuraib narrated to us; Jābir ibn Nūḥ narrated, from al-Aʿmash, who said: Whenever Ibrāhīm was told, “So-and-so has learnt to recite the Qur’an,” he would ask about the man’s intelligence. If they answered, “He is sensible,” he would say, “I expect he will spend the night in a state of goodness.”
٢٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: ثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ثَنَا جَابِرِ بْنِ نُوحٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، قَالَ: كَانَ إِذَا قِيلَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: إِنَّ فُلَانًا قَدْ تَقَرَّأَ فَسَأَلَ عَنْ عَقْلِهِ فَإِنْ قَالُوا عَاقِلٌ قَالَ: «أَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ سَيَبِيتُ إِلَى خَيْرٍ»
