٤٢٥ 425 Chapter 41: His Refusal to Accept Help Even in Distress We cite Ismāʿīl ibn Aḥmad al-Samarqandī and Muḥammad ibn Abī l-Qāsim al-Baghdādī, who cite Ḥamd ibn Aḥmad al-Iṣbahānī, who heard Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥāfiẓ report that he heard Mūsā ibn Hārūn report that he heard Isḥāq ibn Rāhawayh say: [Isḥāq ibn Rāhawayh:] When Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal made the journey to study with ʿAbd al-Razzāq, he ran out of money, so he hired himself out to a camel driver for the duration of the journey to Sanaa. His companions had offered help, but he refused to accept anything from anyone. Sulaymān ibn Aḥmad said that he heard ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad report that al-Fatḥ ibn Shakhraf wrote to him in his own hand saying that he heard ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd say: [ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd:] ʿAbd al-Razzāq told us: “Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal came and stayed here for almost two years. At one point I said to him, ‘Aḥmad, there’s no way for you to make any money in this part of the world, so take this’”—and here ʿAbd al-Razzāq put out a handful of dinars to show us what he meant—“‘and spend it on yourself!’ But Aḥmad said, ‘I’m fine,’ and refused to accept anything from me.” We cite Ismāʿīl ibn Aḥmad and Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Bāqī, who cite Ḥamd ibn Aḥmad, who cites Abū Nuʿaym al-Ḥāfiẓ, who heard Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Qāynī302 report that he heard Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥusayn ibn Muḥammad al-Junābadhī say that he heard ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad ibn Idrīs say that he heard Aḥmad ibn Sinān al-Wāsiṭī say: [Al-Wāsiṭī:] I heard that Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, as he was leaving Yemen, pawned his sandals to a baker in exchange for some food. He also hired himself out to some camel drivers when he left. ʿAbd al-Razzāq offered him some perfectly good dirhams,303 but he wouldn’t take them. 41.1 41.3 41.2 ٤٢٦ 426 v e $Xv wÚß1/» wc/ 01 v ( ) $X`aÇ Þ= TB ?@ / # # PÃ Ì ¡ Þ w媫ÿp :. / 01 á= TB * D E !
