WITH AL-ḤASAN AL-BAṢRĪ
172 - ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us: Ḥamza ibn al-ʿAbbās narrated to me: ʿAbdān ibn ʿUthmān narrated to us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak informed us: Jarīr ibn Ḥāzim informed us, saying: We entered upon al-Ḥasan one day, filling his rooftop. He looked at the faces of the people and said: "I see eyes, but I do not see a true companion; acquaintance without sincerity, speech without action, mere figures wearing clothes."
