195 - ʿAbd al-Raḥīm ibn Yaḥyā narrated to me: ʿUthmān ibn ʿUmāra narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Zayd, he said: Farqad al-Sabakhī, Muḥammad ibn Wāsiʿ, Mālik ibn Dīnār, and I set out to visit a brother of ours in the land of Persia. When we passed Rāmhurmuz, we saw a small fire at the foot of a mountain, so we hurried toward it, and there we found a leper dripping with pus and blood. One of us said to him: "O man, if only you entered this city and sought medical treatment for this affliction of yours!" He raised his eyes to the sky and said: "My God, You brought these people so that they might make me discontent with You! To You belong honor and the right to be pleased, such that I shall never disobey You."
