1485 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Ahmad ibn Ibrahim narrated to us; Musa ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us; ʿAbd ⦗214⦘ al-Hamid ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Muslim ibn Yasar narrated to us; Thabit al-Bunani told me:
I was in the presence of al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) when a blind beggar approached and said, “Give charity to one who has no guide to lead him and no sight to direct him.” Al-Hasan replied, “That is the owner of this house,” and he pointed to the neighbor behind him—meaning ʿAbd Allah ibn Ziyad. “None of his entire retinue serves as a guide to lead him toward good or advises him to it, and he himself possesses no inner vision by which he can see and benefit.”
١٤٨٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ ⦗٢١٤⦘ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ الْحَسَنِ (رحمه الله) فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ سَائِلٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ فَقَالَ: تَصَدَّقُوا عَلَى مَنْ لَا قَائِدَ لَهُ يَقُودُهُ وَلَا بَصَرَ يَهْدِيهِ، فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ: ذَاكَ صَاحِبُ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ وَأَشَارَ بِهِ إِلَى جَارِهِ خَلْفَهُ يَعْنِي عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زِيَادٍ مَا كَانَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ حَشَمِهِ قَائِدٌ يَقُودُهُ إِلَى خَيْرٍ وَلَا يُشِيرُ عَلَيْهِ بِهِ وَلَا كَانَ مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِهِ لَهُ بَصَرٌ يُبْصِرُ بِهِ وَيَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ "
