1312 — ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Ubayd Allah informed us. He said: Ahmad ibn al-Husayn informed us. He said: ‘Abd Allah ibn Ahmad narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to me. He said: Abu Sa‘id, the client of Banu Hashim, narrated to me. He said: I heard ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Abi Salamah say: I heard Nafi‘, the client of Ibn ‘Umar, say to a governor who was over Medina, “May Allah set you aright; strike off their heads”—meaning the Qadariyyah. He said: At that time, I myself was a Qadari, until I saw in a dream that I was disputing with some people ⦗784⦘. He said: So I recited a verse. When morning came, my companions came to me, and I said, “O people, I seek Allah’s forgiveness and repent to Him.” I then told them what I had seen. Some of them recanted, while others refused to recant.
