قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ فِي زِيَادَاتِ الزُّهْدِ : حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ شَبَّةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ بِسْطَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أُنَيْسُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي إِمَارَةِ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ قَعَدَ لَهُمْ وَأَغْلَظَ ، فَتَفَرَّقُوا ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ ، مَا أَرَاكَ إِلَّا قَدْ أَسَأْتَ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ مُدَاهِنُونَ ، أَتَعْرِفُنِي ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا قَالَ : أَنَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ ، فَمَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ : مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : بَلَايَا بِالْعِرَاقِ وَذَلِكَ بِالْكُوفَةِ ، فَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الْبَصْرَةِ فَأَقْوَمُ الْأَمْصَارِ قِبْلَةً ، وَأَكْثَرُهُ مُؤَذِّنًا ، يَدْفَعُ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ .
4193 \ 2 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الطَّبَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ الْمُرِّيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الرَّبَعِيِّ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ سَتَنْزِلُ بِهِمْ بَلَايَا عِظَامٌ ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أَهْلَ الْبَصْرَةِ ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُمْ أَفْضَلُ أَهْلِ الْأَمْصَارِ قِبْلَةً ، وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤَذِّنًا ، يُدْفَعُ عَنْهُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ .

It is narrated from al-Ahnaf bin Qays (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I came to Madinah during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and there I saw a man with a thick beard (Sayyiduna Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him) sitting before the people and speaking to them very harshly, so that the people dispersed from there. I said to him: "O servant of Allah, I think you have gone too far (by speaking so harshly)." He replied: "These people are compromisers and flatterers (in matters of religion). Do you know me?" I said: "No." He said: "I am Abu Dharr. Who are you?" I said: "I am from the people of Basrah." He said: "Shall I not tell you a hadith that I myself heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: 'Trials and afflictions will come in Iraq, and they will be (especially) in Kufah. As for the people of Basrah, they are the most correct of all the cities in the direction of their qiblah and have the most callers to prayer (mu'adhdhins), and Allah Almighty wards off from them what they dislike.'"
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the people of Kufah and stated: "Great trials and calamities will soon descend upon them." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the people of Basrah and said: "They are the best of the people of all the cities in the direction of their qiblah, they have the most mu'adhdhins, and what is hateful and disliked is kept away from them."

وَقَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ : حَدَّثَنَا سَلَّامٌ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : مَا رَأَيْتُ أَخْصَاصًا إِلَّا أَخْصَاصًا كَانَتْ مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَدْفَعُ عَنْ هَذِهِ - يَعْنِي : بِالْكُوفَةِ .
قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : الْأَخْصَاصُ بُيُوتٌ عِنْدَنَا مِنْ قَصَبٍ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I have not found huts made of reeds and rushes to be like the huts that were available in the blessed time of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him); they were not like these (present lofty buildings of Kufah)."
Imam Abu Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him) says: By «al-akhsas» we mean houses that are made of reeds or rushes.
