134 - ʿAbdullāh narrated to us, saying: And Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us, saying: Abū Wahb Muḥammad ibn Muzāḥim said: "Al-Naḍr ibn Muḥammad has no brothers." That reached al-Naḍr, so he said: "I did not know of a single brother for Muḥammad ibn Thābit, and yet he enjoyed the status he had among the people—that is, of love."

135 - ʿAbdullāh narrated to us, saying: Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Majīd narrated to me, from al-Muʿammal ibn Ismāʿīl, who said: I heard Sufyān, May Allah have mercy on him, say: "I would love to know people, while they do not know me."
