سفيان (report 534; identity unresolved)

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Kūfī informed us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Qutayba related to us: Ibn Numayr related to us: I heard my father say: Ḥafṣ ibn Ghiyāth used to sit with Abū Ḥanīfa and was an assiduous seeker of hadith. Sufyān heard that he sat with Abū Ḥanīfa and was distressed. One day I saw him come to Sufyān and greet him. He said, ‘How are you, Ḥafṣ? How are you all? Where is your study circle today?’
