A Funny Tabi’ii

Some people visited Sulayman al-A’mash, who was a funny Tabi’ii:

جاء شبيب بن شيبة وأصحاب له إلى الأعمش ، فنادوه على بابه : يا سليمان اخرج إلينا ، فقال من الداخل : ” من أنتم ؟ ” قالوا : نحن من الذين ينادونك من وراء الحجرات ، فقال الأعمش من الداخل : ” أكثرهم لا يعقلون

They knocked on his door, shouting: “O Sulayman, come out!!!”

He shouted back from inside his dwelling: “Who are you?!”

They replied, reciting the Qur’anic verse: “We are from “THOSE WHO CALL YOU FROM OUTSIDE THE DWELLINGS…”. [Qur’an 49:4].

Al-A’mash completed the verse saying: “… MOST OF THEM HAVE NO SENSE.” [Qur’an 49:4].

[“Hilyat al-Awliyaa”, 6446].
