2039 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Bishr narrated to us; Misʿar narrated to me, from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn al-Muntashir, who said: Masrūq used to ride every Friday on a mule of his, seating me behind him. He would then go to an old refuse mound in al-Jizah, make his mule stand atop it, and say, “The world is beneath us.”
