8- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ السَّيَّارِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ
لَزِمَتْهُ شَهَادَةٌ فَشَهِدَ بِهَا عِنْدَ أَبِي يُوسُفَ الْقَاضِي فَقَالَ أَبُو يُوسُفَ مَا عَسَيْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ فِيكَ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَأَنْتَ جَارِي مَا عَلِمْتُكَ إِلا صَدُوقاً طَوِيلَ اللَّيْلِ وَلَكِنْ تِلْكَ الْخَصْلَةُ قَالَ وَمَا هِيَ قَالَ مَيْلُكَ إِلَى التَّرَفُّضِ فَبَكَى ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ حَتَّى سَالَتْ دُمُوعُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا يُوسُفَ تَنْسِبُنِي إِلَى قَوْمٍ أَخَافُ أَنْ لا أَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ فَأَجَازَ شَهَادَتَهُ.
8. AI-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from af-Sayyariy from Muhammad ibn Jumhur from those who narrated to him from ibn abu Ya’fur who has narrated the following:
“I had to testify in a case before abu Yusuf, the judge, who said, ‘O ibn abu Ya’fur I still say about you, when you are my neighbor, that I know you only as a truthful person of long nights (for worshipping Allah) except “that thing”.’ He then asked, ‘What is “that thing”?’ He (the judge) said, ‘It is your tendency to the al-Rafidah (rejectionists).’ Ibn abu Ya’fur then wept until his tears flowed down and said, ‘O abu Yusuf, you are ascribing me to a community of people. I am afraid of not being of them.’ The judge then admitted his testimony.”
