2293 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Abu Maʿmar narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from Humayd al-Aʿraj, who said:

“A son of Saʿid ibn Jubayr came forward, whereupon Saʿid said, ‘In my view, the best state he could be in is to die, so that I may seek reward for him.’

Ibn ʿUyaynah—and likewise Ibn Ayyub—remarked: ‘People considered that son to be even more virtuous than Saʿid ibn Jubayr himself.’”
