ʿUmar ibn Ibrāhīm the Qurʾan reciter informed us: Makram ibn Aḥmad related to us: Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Mughallis related to us: Al-Ḥasan ibn al-Rabīʿ related to us: Muḥammad, the nephew of ʿĀfiya ibn Yazīd, related to us: My uncle sent money with me to deliver to people who would distribute it, naming Dāwūd al-Ṭāʾī among them. I came to Dāwūd and knocked at his door. He came behind the door. I said, “Would you come out so I can speak to you?” He said, “They used to dislike excessive speech.” I said, “My uncle sent me to you, sends greetings, and says: distribute this money to whomever you see fit; you have discretion over it as over your own money.” He said, “Return it to your uncle, and tell him to return it to whoever sent it to him, to fear God, and not involve himself in what does not concern him.”
