٣٢٥٥٨ - حدثنا حسين بن علي عن (عبد الملك) (١) بن أبجر قال: بعث ابن ⦗١٠٠⦘ أوسط بالشعبي إلى الحجاج وكان عاملًا على الري، قال: فأدخل على ابن أبي مسلم وكان الذي بينه وبينه لطيفًا، قال: (فعذله) (٢) ابن أبي مسلم وقال: إني مدخلك على الأمير فإن ضحك في وجهك فلا تضحكن، قال: فأدخل عليه.
It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abjar, may Allah have mercy on him, that Ibn Awsat sent Sha’bi, may Allah have mercy on him, to Hajjaj while he was the governor of Rayy. The narrator says that he was brought to Ibn Abi Muslim, and there was a cordial relationship between the two. Ibn Abi Muslim reproached him and said, "I will take you to the Amir. If the Amir laughs in front of you, do not laugh." The narrator says that after this, he was brought to Hajjaj.
