al-Junayd ibn al-Marzubān

My father related to us. He said: Asbāṭ ibn al-Yasaʿ related to us. He said: al-Junayd ibn al-Marzubān informed me. He said: Abū Ḥanīfa, may God have mercy on him, said: Sometimes I took my mother to ʿUmar ibn Dharr’s gathering. When something troubled her, she said to me: ‘Go to ʿUmar ibn Dharr and ask him about it.’ I went to ʿUmar and said: ‘My mother has been troubled by such-and-such, and she instructed me to come and ask you.’ ʿUmar ibn Dharr said: ‘You ask me about this?’ He said: ‘My mother instructed me, and she has a right.’ He said: ‘Tell me how it is, so I can inform you.’ I told him the answer, and he informed me. I went to my mother and told her that ʿUmar had said such-and-such.
