أخبرنا أحمد بن محمد، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن يحيى الحازمي، قال: حدثني حسين بن سعيد اللخمي، قال: سمعت حفص بن حمزة القرشي، يقول: كان أبو حنيفة رضي الله عنه ربما مرّ به رجل، فيجلس إليه بغير قصد ولا مجالسة، فإذا قام سأل عنه، فإن كانت به فاقة وصله، وإن مرض عاده، حتى يجتره إلى مواصلته، وكان لأَكرم الناس مجالسةً.

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad informed us: Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā al-Ḥāzimī related to us: Ḥusayn ibn Saʿīd al-Lakhmī related to me: I heard Ḥafṣ ibn Ḥamza al-Qurashī say: Sometimes a man would pass Abū Ḥanīfa—may God be pleased with him—and sit with him without intending a visit or being a regular companion. When the man got up, he would ask about him. If he was in need, he would give him assistance; if he fell ill, he would visit him, until he drew him into continued companionship. He was among the most generous of people to sit with.
