وقال محمد بن الحسن حين رآه محمد بن أبي رجاء في المنام وقال له: ما فعل الله بك؟ فقال: إن الله تعالى قال لي: لم أجعل حكمتي فيك لأعذبك. فقيل له: كيف حال أبي يوسف؟ فقال محمد بن الحسن: هو أعلى مني بدرجة. فقيل: وكيف حال أبي حنيفة؟ فقال: هيهات هيهات في أعلى عليين رحمهم الله تعالى.

When Muḥammad ibn Abī Rajāʾ saw Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan in a dream, he asked: “What has God done with you?” He replied: “God said to me, ‘I did not place My wisdom in you in order to punish you.’” He was asked about Abū Yūsuf and replied: “He is one degree above me.” Asked about Abū Ḥanīfa, he said: “Far, far above, in the highest heights!” May God Most High have mercy on them.
