It was mentioned to me that at Deyr Zaky there is an insane man of excellent speech. I went to him, and there I was with an old man of good appearance, seated upon a pillow, being of relaxed head and beard. I greeted unto him.
He responded the greetings and said, ‘From whom does the man happen to be?’ قَالَ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَهْلُ الظَّرْفِ وَ الْآدَابِ قَالَ مِنْ أَيِّهَا أَنْتَ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ قَالَ أَهْلُ التَّجَارِبِ وَ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ فَمَنْ أَيِّهِمْ أَنْتَ قُلْتُ أَبُو الْهُذَيْلِ الْعَلَّافُ قَالَ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ قُلْتُ بَلَى فَوَثَبَ عَنْ وَسَادَتِهِ وَ أَجْلَسَنِي عَلَيْهَا He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘From the people of Al-Iraq’.
He said, ‘Yes, the people of friendliness and etiquette’. He said, ‘From which (part) of it are you?’ I said, ‘From the people of Al-Basra’. He said, ‘People of experience and knowledge’. He said, ‘From which of them are you?’ I said, ‘Abu Al-Huzeyl Al-Allaf’. He said, ‘The speaker’. I said, ‘Yes’. He leapt from his pillow and seated me upon it.
ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ كَلَامٍ جَرَى بَيْنَنَا مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْإِمَامَةِ قُلْتُ أَيَّ الْإِمَامَةِ تُرِيدُ قَالَ مَنْ تُقَدِّمُونَ بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّ ص قُلْتُ مَنْ قَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ وَ مَنْ هُوَ قُلْتُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ Then he said after some talk had flowed between us, ‘What are you saying regarding the Imamate?’ I said, ‘Which Imamate do you intend?’ He said, ‘Whom are you placing forwards after the Prophet -saww ?’ I said, ‘The one who Rasool-Allah -saww had advanced’.
He said, ‘And who is he?’ I said, ‘Abu Bakr’. قَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا الْهُذَيْلِ وَ لِمَ قَدَّمْتُمُوهُ قُلْتُ لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ قَدِّمُوا خَيْرَكُمْ وَ وَلُّوا أَفْضَلَكُمْ وَ تَرَاضَى النَّاسُ بِهِ جَمِيعاً He said to me, ‘O Abu Al-Huzeyl!
