I heard ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd Allāh say: I heard my father say: Abū Sufyān is among the trustworthy transmitters. Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Khalīl al-Nasawī related to us. He said: Ghassān ibn Yaḥyā al-Nasawī related to us. He said: Abū Sufyān related many reports from Abū Ḥanīfa and kept his company extensively. I saw Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan transmit from him and mention his jurisprudence, self-restraint and righteousness.
حدثنا عبد الله بن عبد الله، قال: سمعت أبي، يقول: أخبرنا محمد بن سلام، عن علي بن الحسن بن شقيق، عن النضر بن محمد رحمة الله عليه قال:جاء حروري إلى أبي حنيفة، فسلّ سيفه فقال له: سبّ عليًا وإلا قتلتك، فسكت أبو حنيفة ولم يجب، وقال: علمت أني ما دمت ساكتًا لا يستحلني.

ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd Allāh related to us. He said: I heard my father say: Muḥammad ibn Sallām informed us, from ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Shaqīq, from al-Naḍr ibn Muḥammad, may God have mercy on him, who said: A Ḥarūrī came to Abū Ḥanīfa, drew his sword and said: “Revile ʿAlī, or I will kill you.” Abū Ḥanīfa remained silent and did not answer. He said: “I knew that as long as I remained silent, he would not consider killing me lawful.”
