184 – Hārūn ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; he said: Muḥammad ibn Bishr told us; he said: Misʿar, from Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Muntashir, who said:
“Masrūq used to ride his mule every Friday and would let me ride behind him. We would make our way to an old refuse-heap in al-Ḥīrah; he would drive his mule onto it and say, ‘The world is beneath us.’”
١٨٤ - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، قَالَ: ثنا مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، قَالَ: كَانَ مَسْرُوقٌ يَرْكَبُ بَغْلَتَهُ كُلَّ جُمُعَةٍ، وَيَحْمِلُنِي خَلْفَهُ، فَنَأْتِي كُنَاسَةً بِالْحِيرَةِ قَدِيمَةً، فَيَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا بَغْلَتَهُ، وَيَقُولُ: «الدُّنْيَا تَحْتَنَا»
