1976 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Ahmad ibn Ibrahim related to me; ʿAbd Allah ibn Musa narrated to us; Sufyan narrated, from Nusayr ibn Dhuʿluq, who said:
Al-Rabiʿ ibn Khuthaym would weep until his tears drenched his beard, and he used to say, “We encountered a people; beside them we were nothing but thieves.”
١٩٧٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ نُسَيْرِ بْنِ ذُعْلُوقٍ قَالَ: كَانَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ خُثَيْمٍ يَبْكِي حَتَّى يَبُلَّ لِحْيَتَهُ مِنْ دُمُوعِهِ فَيَقُولُ: «أَدْرَكْنَا قَوْمًا كُنَّا فِي جُنُوبِهِمْ لُصُوصًا»
