ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Rabāḥ al-Jumaḥī

Concerning ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Rabāḥ: Abū ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Ḥafṣ mentioned this in the book he composed on Abū Ḥanīfa’s merits. That book was read to the jurist and hadith master Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn Manṣūr al-Bukhārī, God have mercy upon them, in the year four hundred and fifty-one. He said: Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm ibn Aḥmad al-Sarakhsī informed us: the imam Abū Bakr Aḥmad ibn Saʿd related to us: Abū Sahl Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sahl ibn Ḥafṣ al-ʿIjlī informed us: Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Abī Ḥafṣ al-ʿIjlī informed us: my father, the teacher Abū Ḥafṣ al-Kabīr, informed us: ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ḥimmānī informed us: Abū Ḥanīfa related to us, from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Rabāḥ, from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī: He prayed in one thick shirt, without a waistcloth or mantle, although he had garments beside him that he could have taken if he wished.
