1396 — Ahmad ibn Ubayd informed us by authorization. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Dawud ibn Sulayman al-Wasiti informed us. He said: Abu Dawud al-Sijistani related to us; Amr ibn Awn informed us; Hammad ibn Zayd informed us, from Ibn Awn, who said:
“I lived among the people, and they spoke of nothing but Ali and Uthman, until there arose here an insignificant fellow called Sanusuwayh the grocer.”
He said: “He was the first to speak about divine decree.” Hammad said: “What do you think of a man whom Ibn Awn calls insignificant?”
