حدثنا أحمد بن يحيى الهمداني الكوفي، قال: حدثنا عيسى بن عبد الله بن الهيَّاج أبو الهيَّاج، قال: حدثني عمير بن عمار، قال: سمعت زياداً، قال: خرجت إلى المدينة فكنت أجلس إلى مالك بن أنس كثيراً، فيذكر الكوفيين ويعرِّض بهم ويذكر أبا حنيفة، فكنت ربما خضت معهم في الفقه، فكان ينبسط إلي ويقبل علي، فذكر يوماً مسألة، فقلت: أرأيت؟ قَطَب ولَوى وجهه عني، وقال: ﴿وَلَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِي لَحْنِ الْقَوْلِ﴾ فعاودته فرأيته معرضاً عني، فتركت مجالسته.

Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyā al-Hamdānī al-Kūfī related to us. He said: ʿĪsā ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Hayyāj, Abū al-Hayyāj, related to us. He said: ʿUmayr ibn ʿAmmār related to me. He said: I heard Ziyād say: I went to Medina and often sat with Mālik ibn Anas. He would mention the Kufans, make indirect remarks about them, and mention Abū Ḥanīfa. Sometimes I joined them in discussing jurisprudence, and he would be friendly toward me and give me his attention. One day he mentioned a question, and I said: “What do you think?” He frowned, turned his face away from me, and said: “You will surely recognize them by the tone of their speech.” I approached him again and found him turning away from me, so I stopped sitting with him.
The quotation is Qurʾān 47:30. The brief question أرأيت is retained without supplying an unstated hypothetical case.
