أخبرنا أحمد بن محمد، قال: حدثنا زكريا بن يحيى بن سفيان، قال: حدثنا محمد بن جناب، قال: أخبرني أبي، قال: كنت إلى أبي حنيفة رضي الله عنه، وكان مرّ بالأعمش، فرأى منه جفوة، فحضره، فقد ذهب رجل يتناول الأعمش، فزبره أبو حنيفة، وقال: ألأبي محمد تذكر؟ أبو محمد شيخنا وكبيرنا.

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad informed us: Zakariyyā ibn Yaḥyā ibn Sufyān related to us: Muḥammad ibn Janāb related to us: My father informed me: I was with Abū Ḥanīfa—may God be pleased with him. He had passed by al-Aʿmash and experienced some coldness from him. He attended him, and a man began disparaging al-Aʿmash. Abū Ḥanīfa rebuked him, saying, ‘Is it Abū Muḥammad you speak of? Abū Muḥammad is our shaykh and our elder.’
The opening and successive pronouns are terse in the supplied Arabic; no further circumstances are supplied.
