[Machine] About Hassaan, the freed slave of Malik ibn Abdullah al-Khath'ami, who was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "I saw Malik ibn Abdullah making ablution and there was a vein written on his leg for Allah, so I started to look at it. He said, 'What are you looking at? This was not written by a scribe.'"  

الطبراني:١٦٧٧٠حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْأَبَّارُ ثنا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَزَّانُ ثنا ضَمْرَةُ عَنْ رَجَاءَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ

عَنْ حَسَّانٍ مَوْلَى مَالِكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ وَكَانَ مَالِكٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «رَأَيْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ» يَتَوَضَّأُ وَكَانَ فِي سَاقِهِ عِرْقٌ مَكْتُوبٌ لِلَّهِ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «أَيَّ شَيْءٍ تَنْظُرُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكْتُبْهُ كَاتَبٌ»

ahmad-zuhd:828ʿAbdullāh > Hārūn > Ḍamrah > Rajāʾ Ḥuddithnā > Ḥassān a freed slave of Mālik b. ʿAbdullāh

[Machine] There was a written vein on his leg that said "Allah." I looked at it while he was performing ablution and he asked, "What are you looking at?" I replied, "Isn't it written by a writer?"  

الزهد لأحمد:٨٢٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْرَةُ قَالَ رَجَاءٌ حُدِّثْنَا عَنْ حَسَّانَ مَوْلَى مَالِكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

كَانَ فِي سَاقِهِ يَعْنِي مَالِكًا عِرْقٌ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهِ «اللَّهُ» فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَقَالَ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ تَنْظُرُ؟ أَمَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكْتُبْهُ كَاتِبٌ
