Chapter 25: His Age When He Began Teaching Hadith and Giving Legal Opinions It is noteworthy that Aḥmad—God be pleased with him—would sometimes give legal opinions even in his youth and would recite Hadith if asked, without being concerned about his age, as we learn from the following report. Ismāʿīl ibn Aḥmad and Muḥammad ibn Abī l-Qāsim both cite Ḥamd ibn Aḥmad, who heard Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥāfiẓ report that he heard Sulaymān ibn Aḥmad report that he heard Mūsā ibn Hārūn report that he heard Nūḥ ibn Ḥabīb al-Qūmisī report: [Al-Qūmisī:] In 198 [814], I saw Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal leaning against the minaret at the mosque of al-Khayf.242 When the Hadith scholars arrived, he began teaching them Hadith and legal implications and answering their questions about the pilgrimage rites. We cite Muḥammad ibn Abī Manṣūr, who cites ʿAbd al-Qādir ibn Muḥammad, who was informed by Ibrāhīm ibn ʿUmar, who was informed by ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Jaʿfar, who cites Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Khallāl, who cites ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad, who heard Nūḥ ibn Ḥabīb al-Qūmisī: [Al-Qūmisī:] In 198 [814], when Ibn ʿUyaynah was still alive, I saw Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal at the mosque of al-Khayf, delivering legal opinions on all kinds of subjects. I had never seen him before, so I joined the group around him and asked someone who he was. “You’re not from here, are you?” “No.” “That’s Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal.” 25.1 25.2 ٣٥٠ 350 * D E! 01 Ê =T@ / #01 _ Ý7: I/ AB $X § " # ?# * D E7^@ / # 01¤@ / #P i  * + , ¢01P _aÇÞ wx@ / #01îb !
