1242 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to us; ʿAbd al-Ṣamad narrated to us; Abū ʿAqīl Bashīr ibn ʿUqbah narrated to us; Yazīd—that is, Ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn al-Shikhkhīr—narrated to us. He said:

“We used to go to ʿĀmir ibn ʿAbd Allah while he was praying in his mosque. Whenever he saw us he would shorten his prayer, then turn toward us and ask, ‘What do you want?’ He disliked being seen while he was praying.”
