ahmad-zuhd:2121ʿAbdullāh from my father > Wakīʿ > al-Aʿmash

[Machine] I was with Ibrahim while he was reading in the Quran, a man interrupted him and covered it and said, "Do not let him see me, as I read in it every hour."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢١٢١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ قَالَ

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْمُصْحَفِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَغَطَّاهُ وَقَالَ «لَا يَرَانِي هَذَا أَنِّي أَقْرَأُ فِيهِ كُلَّ سَاعَةٍ»
