Aḥmad ibn Janāb al-Miṣṣīṣī

Ṣāliḥ ibn Muḥammad al-Asadī related to us: Aḥmad ibn Janāb al-Miṣṣīṣī, Mahdī ibn Ḥafṣ, and Hishām ibn ʿAmmār related to us. They said: ʿĪsā ibn Yūnus informed us, from Abū Ḥanīfa, from Ḥammād, from Ibrāhīm—may God have mercy on them—from ʿAmr ibn Ḥārith ibn al-Muṣṭaliq, who said: I used to hear ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd’s recitation at night, while he was in his house and I was in mine, when he rose for night prayer. Abū Ḥanīfa—may God have mercy on him—said, ‘There were houses between them.’
