حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى الْحَسَنِ نَعُودُهُ حَتَّى مَلأْنَا الْبَيْتَ فَقَبَضَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ نَعُودُهُ حَتَّى مَلأْنَا الْبَيْتَ فَقَبَضَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حَتَّى مَلأْنَا الْبَيْتَ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ لِجَنْبِهِ فَلَمَّا رَآنَا قَبَضَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " إِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِيكُمْ أَقْوَامٌ مِنْ بَعْدِي يَطْلُبُونَ الْعِلْمَ فَرَحِّبُوا بِهِمْ وَحَيُّوهُمْ وَعَلِّمُوهُمْ " . قَالَ فَأَدْرَكْنَا وَاللَّهِ أَقْوَامًا مَا رَحَّبُوا بِنَا وَلاَ حَيَّوْنَا وَلاَ عَلَّمُونَا إِلاَّ بَعْدَ أَنْ كُنَّا نَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَيَجْفُونَا .

ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿĀmir ibn Zurārah narrated to us: al-Muʿallā ibn Hilāl narrated to us, from Ismāʿīl, who said: We went to visit al-Ḥasan when he was ill until we filled the house. He drew up his legs, then said: We went to visit Abū Hurayrah when he was ill until we filled the house. He drew up his legs, then said: We went to the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, until we filled the house. He was lying on his side. When he saw us, he drew up his legs and said: “After I am gone, people will come to you seeking knowledge. Welcome them, greet them, and teach them.” He said: By God, we met people who did not welcome us, greet us, or teach us. We used to go to them, but they treated us harshly.
