حدثنا علي بن الحسن بن سعد البزاز الهمداني، قال: حدثنا محمد بن جعفر الزعفراني، قال: سمعت القاسم بن الحكم العرني يقول: لم أر في منزل أبي حنيفة كتابًا، ولا رأيت في يده كتابًا ينظر فيه، وكان لا يروي لأحد إلا ما حفظه حفظًا.

ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Saʿd al-Bazzāz al-Hamdānī related to us. He said: Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar al-Zaʿfarānī related to us. He said: I heard al-Qāsim ibn al-Ḥakam al-ʿUranī say: I saw no book in Abū Ḥanīfa’s house, nor did I see a book in his hand that he consulted. He would transmit to no one anything except what he had thoroughly memorised.
