Hārūn al-Ḥijāzī, father of Muḥammad (printed “أبي”)

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad informed us: Muḥammad ibn Hārūn al-Ḥijāzī related to us: My father related to us: al-Ṣabbāḥ ibn Yaḥyā al-Muzanī related to us: Abū Ḥanīfa—may God be pleased with him—sent to Zayd ibn ʿAlī, excusing himself for not joining him. He sent assistance, saying, ‘Use this to strengthen your companions.’

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad related to us: Muḥammad ibn Hārūn al-Ḥijāzī related to us: My father related to us: My father ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Sālim related to us, from Muḥammad ibn Sālim ibn Aflaḥ, who said: When Zayd ibn ʿAlī’s undertaking became established, he sent him to Kufa’s leading men to invite them to support him. Abū Ḥanīfa sent him word of an illness and his inability to go out, and sent money that he used for support.

The repeated ‘my father’ in the chain and the unnamed messenger in the narrative follow the supplied Arabic.
