ʿAlī ibn Dāwūd al-Qanṭarī

Salih ibn Abi Rumayh wrote to me; he said: ʿAli ibn Dawud al-Qantari related to us; he said: Adam ibn Abi Iyas related to us; he said: Faraj ibn Fadala related to us, from Abu Hanifa, from Hisham ibn ʿUrwa, from his father, from ʿAʾisha, may God be pleased with her; she said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: No man has a greater reward than a righteous minister with a ruler, who directs him toward what pertains to God, and he obeys him.
