1109 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Hāshim ibn al-Qāsim narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn Rāshid narrated to us, from Jaʿfar ibn ʿAmr, who said:

“We were a group of the sons of the Prophet’s ﷺ Companions. We said, ‘Our fathers have outstripped us by making the hijrah and by accompanying the Prophet ﷺ, so come, let us strive in worship; perhaps we may attain some of the virtues they gained’—or words to that effect.

ʿAbd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, Muḥammad ibn Abī Ḥudhayfah, Muḥammad ibn Abī Bakr, Muḥammad ibn Ṭalḥah, and Muḥammad ibn ⦗164⦘ ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Aswad ibn ʿAbd Yaghūth said:

“So we applied ourselves to worship night and day. Then we met Tamīm al-Dārī when he was an elderly man, yet we could neither keep standing with him nor remain seated for the length of his prayer.”
