ahmad-zuhd:805ʿAbdullāh from my father > Wahb from my father > Ḥumayd b. Hilāl > Muṭarrif > ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn ؒ Ushʿirt

[Machine] He used to greet me, but when I got sick, the greetings stopped. So I said to him, "Did the greeting come to you from your head or from your feet?" He said, "No, rather it came from my head." I said, "But I do not know that you are dead until that happens." So when it happened later, he said, "I felt that the greetings have returned to me," then he did not live for long until he died.  

الزهد لأحمد:٨٠٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُمَيْدَ بْنَ هِلَالٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ قَالَ قَالَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ أُشْعِرْتُ

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُسَلَّمُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا اكْتَوَيْتُ انْقَطَعَ التَّسْلِيمُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِكَ كَانَ يَأْتِيكَ التَّسْلِيمُ أَمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَيْكَ؟ [123] فَقَالَ لَا بَلْ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِي قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي أَنْ تَمُوتَ حَتَّى يَعُودَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدُ قَالَ أُشْعِرْتُ أَنَّ التَّسْلِيمَ عَادَ لِي ثُمَّ لَمْ يَلْبَثْ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى مَاتَ
