1380 — ʿUbayd Allah ibn Ahmad ibn ʿAli informed us. He said: ʿAli ibn Ahmad ibn al-Jahm, the scribe, informed us. He said: Abu Saʿid ʿAli ibn al-Hasan al-Qasri narrated to us. He said: I heard Abu al-Hudhayl say:
One day, al-Maʾmun said to his chamberlain, “See which proponents of speculative theology are at the door.” He went out and then returned, saying, “At the door are Abu al-Hudhayl al-ʿAllaf, a Muʿtazili; ʿAbd Allah ibn Abad, an Ibadi; and Hisham ibn al-Kalbi, a Rafidi.”
Al-Maʾmun said, “Not one of the banners of Hell remains except that it has appeared.”
