ahmad-zuhd:1427ʿAbdullāh from my father > Sayyār > Jaʿfar

[Machine] "To his wife Asma, he said: 'Oh Asma, I feel a period tonight. So, when this amount of time passes during the night, wake me up.' She said: 'When the time was due, he woke up in a startled state and said: 'Indeed, someone has come to me.' So, he held onto the front part of his head and said: 'Oh Ibn Ziyad, stand up and remember Allah, for He will remember you.' Hisham said: 'By Allah, those hairs of his never stopped standing on end in the front part of his face, whether during his life or after his death. And indeed, we washed him and they were still standing on end.'"  

الزهد لأحمد:١٤٢٧حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ قَالَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْعَدَوِيُّ أَخُو الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ فَقَالَ مَالِكُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ لَهُ حَدِّثْهُمْ حَدِيثَ أَخِيكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ كَانَ أَخِي الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ يُحْيِي كُلَّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ فَجَاءَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ

لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَسْمَاءَ يَا أَسْمَاءُ إِنِّي أَجِدُ اللَّيْلَةَ فَتْرَةً فَإِذَا مَضَى كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَأَيْقِظِينِي قَالَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَتِ السَّاعَةُ انْتَبَهَ فَزِعًا فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي آتٍ فَأَخَذَ بِمُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِي قَالَ يَا ابْنَ زِيَادٍ قُمْ فَاذْكُرِ اللَّهَ ﷻ يَذْكُرْكَ قَالَ هِشَامٌ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زِلْنَ تِلْكَ الشَّعْرَاتِ قِيَامًا فِي مُقَدَّمِ وَجْهِهِ مَا صَحِبَ الدُّنْيَا وَبَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَلَقَدْ غَسَّلْنَاهُ وَأَنَّهُنَّ لَقِيَامٌ وَمَا سَكَنَّ
