Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1262 — Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) relates
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَنْصُورٍ الْقُرَشِيَّ يَقُولُ : قُلْتُ لِمَعْرُوفٍ الْكَرْخِيِّ : يَا أَبَا مَحْفُوظٍ ، رَأَيْتُ فِي هَذَا الْبَلَدِ إِنْسَانًا قَدْ نَحَا نَحْوَ الْأَبْدَالِ ؟ فَسَكَتَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ ذَاكَ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ : بِشْرٌ الْأُمِّيُّ . قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ : فَسَمِعْتُ خَلَفَ بْنَ تَمِيمٍ يَقُولُ : قَالَ بِشْرٌ الْأُمِّيُّ : إِنَّ إِخْوَةً عَلَى النَّدَى أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ إِخْوَةٍ عَلَى الْيُسْرِ I " .
Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I heard Muhammad bin Mansur al-Qurashi (may Allah have mercy on him) saying: "I said to Ma'ruf al-Karkhi (may Allah have mercy on him): O Abu Mahfuz! Have you seen anyone in this city who has followed the way of the Abdal (the friends of Allah)? He remained silent, then said: 'O Allah, except for the one who is called Bishr al-Ummi.'"
Muhammad bin Mansur (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I heard Khalaf bin Tamim (may Allah have mercy on him) saying that Bishr al-Ummi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Brothers made on the basis of generosity and nobility are dearer to us than brothers made on the basis of wealth and comfort."
