Mention in the report text

أخبرنا عمر بن إبراهيم الكتاني قال ثنا أبو بكر قال ثنا أحمد يعني ابن مغلس قال ثنا علي بن المديني قال سمعت يوسف بن خالد السمتي يقول كنا نجالس البتي بالبصرة فلما قدمنا الكوفة جالسنا أبا حنيفة فأين البحر من السواقي فلا يقول أحد يذكره إنه رأى مثله ما كان عليه في العلم كلفة وكان محسودا

ʿUmar ibn Ibrāhīm al-Kattānī informed us: Abū Bakr related: Aḥmad—that is, Ibn Mughallis—related: ʿAlī ibn al-Madīnī related: I heard Yūsuf ibn Khālid al-Samtī say: We sat with al-Battī in Basra. When we came to Kufa we sat with Abū Ḥanīfa. What comparison is there between the sea and irrigation channels? Nobody who mentions him can say he has seen his equal. Knowledge came to him without strain, and he was envied.
