97 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Qurayb narrated to us, from his uncle, who said: Khalid al-Qasri once asked a man of Quraysh, “What keeps you from asking us?” He answered, “The very moment I pose the request I have already accepted its price.”
٩٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عبد الله قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُرَيْبٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ خَالِدٌ الْقَسْرِيُّ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنَا قَالَ إِذَا سَأَلْتُكَ فقد أخذت ثمنه.
