1765 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿUmar al-Qawariri narrated to us; Jaʿfar—meaning Ibn Sulayman—narrated to us; Hisham narrated to us, from Hafsa bint Sirin, who said:
“Mawriq al-ʿIjli used to visit us. He would give the greeting of peace and I would return it. I once asked him, ‘How are you, Abu al-Muʿtamir? How are your family and children?’ He replied, ‘They are many.’ I said to him, ‘Then praise your Lord.’ He said, ‘By Allah, I fear that they may hold me back until ruin overtakes me.’”
١٧٦٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ -، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ مُوَرِّقٌ الْعِجْلِيُّ يَزُورُنَا فَسَلَّمَ فَرَدَدْتُ (عليه السلام) قَالَتْ: وَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ: كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ يَا أَبَا الْمُعْتَمِرِ كَيْفَ أَهْلُكَ وَوَلَدُكَ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّهُمْ لَمُتَوَافِرُونَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: فَاحْمَدْ رَبَّكَ قَالَ: «وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنَّهُمْ يَحْبِسُونِي عَلَى هَلَكَةٍ»
