869 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to us; Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd narrated to us, from Mujālid, who informed me that ʿĀmir related from Masrūq, who said: A man once said in the presence of ʿAbd Allah, “I do not wish to be among the Companions of the Right; to be counted among those brought near is dearer to me.” He replied, “Yet there is someone here who would be content that, when he dies, he not be resurrected”—meaning himself.
