ahmad-zuhd:1438ʿAbdullāh from my father > Muʾammal b. Ismāʿīl > Thābit > Ānṭalaqt

[Machine] Al-Hasan, if your father's flesh and blood are taken to atone for his sins, it is better for him than dying altogether and being consumed by the earth, and he will not be rewarded for that.  

الزهد لأحمد:١٤٣٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ قَالَ انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَالْحَسَنُ إِلَى صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ نَعُودُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي خُصٍّ مِنْ قَصَبٍ مَائِلٍ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا ابْنُهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ بِهِ بَطْنًا شَدِيدًا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ

الْحَسَنُ إِنَّ أَبَاكَ إِنْ يُؤْخَذْ مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَدَمِهِ فَيُكَفَّرْ عَنْهُ خَطَايَاهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمُوتَ جَمِيعًا فَيَأْكُلَهُ التُّرَابُ أَوْ قَالَ فَتَأْكُلَهُ الْأَرْضُ وَلَا يُؤْجَرُ فِي ذَاكَ
