ʿAmmār (reports 245–246; identity unresolved)

ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Aḥmad al-Ṭawāwīsī related to us. He said: I heard Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥasan: I heard ʿAmmār say: Misʿar ibn Kidām saw a perfumed man walking at night and thought he was a bridegroom entering his wife’s house. He entered the mosque, stood in his place, pronounced the opening magnification, and began the Sūra of the Cow. He said: I thought, ‘He will reach halfway, then bow.’ He passed halfway. I thought, ‘He will finish it, then bow.’ He went beyond it and continued reciting until he completed the entire Qurʾān in one unit of prayer. When he finished praying, he left the mosque for his home. I caught up with him and found that he was Abū Ḥanīfa. May God have abundant mercy on him.
