He said: Khallād ibn Yaḥyā related to us, from Abū Ḥanīfa, may God be pleased with him, from ʿĀṣim, from Abū Razīn, from Ibn ʿAbbās, may God be pleased with them both, who said: Anyone who has intercourse with an animal is not subject to a prescribed punishment.

He said: Abū Ḥanīfa, may God be pleased with him, related to us, from Ḥammād, from Ibrāhīm and Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, who both said: Al-Madāʾin and places like it, from Kufa—meaning, concerning shortening the prayer.

This is a compressed place-reference in the Arabic. The translation retains its abbreviated form without supplying a complete legal ruling.

Muḥammad ibn al-Qāsim al-Balkhī related to us. He said: Saʿīd ibn Ṣāliḥ al-Hilālī related to us. He said: Khallād ibn Yaḥyā related to us. He said: Abū Ḥanīfa, may God be pleased with him, related to us, from Abū Bakr ibn Abī al-Jahm, who said: I saw Ibn ʿUmar, may God be pleased with them both, circumambulate the House after praying the dawn prayer. Then he left and did not pray the two units until the sun had risen.

Al-Ḥārith ibn Asad al-Asadābādhī related to us. He said: I heard Maʿrūf ibn al-Ḥasan say: I heard Khallād ibn Yaḥyā say: Abū Ḥanīfa, may God be pleased with him, is the imam of the East and the West. Anyone who does not acknowledge his leadership has deprived himself of his due.

And al-Ḥārith ibn Asad related to us. He said: Maʿrūf ibn al-Ḥasan related to us. He said: Khallād ibn Yaḥyā related to us, from Abū Ḥanīfa, may God be pleased with him, who said: I have never seen anyone held in greater favor by ʿAṭāʾ than Ibn Jurayj. He used to ask many questions. Sometimes ʿAṭāʾ would shout at him, saying: “How much longer?” Ibn Jurayj would reply: “One can never have enough knowledge.”

Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAlī al-Tirmidhī related to us. He said: Aḥmad ibn Ḥibbān related to us, from Khallād ibn Yaḥyā ibn Ṣafwān, who said: Misʿar ibn Kidām said: I came to Abū Ḥanīfa while he was standing in prayer. I stood for a long while, but he did not turn toward me. I took a pebble, placed it on his garment, and left. I went away for as long as God willed. [Then I returned to him], and the pebble had not moved. Misʿar then said: ‘We pursued theological disputation with Abū Ḥanīfa, and he surpassed us. He joined us in asceticism and surpassed us. He joined us in jurisprudence and produced what you see.’

Muḥammad ibn Sahl al-Marwazī related to us. He said: Muḥammad ibn Hāniʾ related to me. He said: I heard Khallād ibn Yaḥyā in Mecca say: Misʿar said—and he mentioned a similar report.

The Arabic abbreviates the account with مثله; the preceding report’s narrative is not repeated here.
