٤١٥ 415 39: His Forbearance and His Readiness to Forgive [Isḥāq ibn Hāniʾ:] We were once at Aḥmad’s house with al-Marrūdhī and Muhannaʾ ibn Yaḥyā l-Shāmī. There was a knock on the door and someone called out, “Is al-Marrūdhī here?” Since al-Marrūdhī didn’t want anyone to know where he was, Muhannaʾ ibn Yaḥyā put his finger on the palm of his hand294 and called back, “Al-Marrūdhī’s not here. What would he be doing here anyway?” Aḥmad laughed and did not seem to disapprove. Chapter 39: His Forbearance and His Readiness to Forgive We cite ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī l-Qāsim, who cites ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad al-Anṣārī, who heard Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Jārūdī report that he heard al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Jaʿfar report that he heard his father report that he heard Abū ʿAlī l-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Khiraqī report: [Al-Khiraqī:] I heard Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal say, “I forgive al-Muʿtaṣim for flogging me.” We cite ʿAbd al-Malik, who cites ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad, who cites Abū Yaʿqūb, who cites Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Laʾʾāl (the trader in pearls), who cites Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm al-Ṣarrām: [Al-Ṣarrām:] I heard Ibrāhīm ibn Isḥāq report that al-Mutawakkil took the partisan of ʿAlī who had denounced Aḥmad to the government and sent him to Aḥmad so he could recommend a punishment for him. But Aḥmad forgave him, saying, “He may have children who would be grieved if he were killed.” That was the gist of the story.295 We cite Ismāʿīl ibn Aḥmad and Muḥammad ibn Abī l-Qāsim, who cite Ḥamd ibn Aḥmad, who heard Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh report that he heard al-Ḥusayn ibn Muḥammad report that he heard ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Ziyād report that he heard Ibn Hāniʾ report: 39.1 39.2 39.3 ٤١٦ 416 Á01 á= ! )01 $X 9!°̄P i  * + , ¢01 _¤£im nX_?@ / #01» w !
