Muhammad ibn Humayd also narrated to us; Jarir narrated to us from Mughira, who said:
ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Abi Nuʿm used to break his fast in Ramadan twice.
He further said: Whenever we asked ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Abi Nuʿm, “How are you, Abu al-Hakam?” he would answer, “If we are among the righteous, then we are noble and God-fearing; but if we are among the wicked, then we are base and wretched.”
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَيْضًا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي نُعْمٍ يُفْطِرُ فِي رَمَضَانَ مَرَّتَيْنِ قَالَ: وَكُنَّا إِذَا قُلْنَا لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ: كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا الْحَكَمِ قَالَ: إِنْ نَكُنْ أَبْرَارًا فَكِرَامٌ أَتْقِيَاءُ، وَإِنْ نَكُنْ فُجَّارًا فَلِئَامٌ أَشْقِيَاءُ "
