٣٨٤١٨ - حدثنا عفان قال: حدثنا حماد بن سلمة قال: أخبرنا حميد قال: كنا نأتي أنسا ومعنا ثابت، فكلما مر بمسجد صلى فيه، فكنا نأتي أنسا فيقول: (أين) (١) ثابت؟ (أين) (٢) ثابت؟ ((أين) (٣) ثابت) (٤)، (٥) (دويبة) (٦) أحبها (٧).
Hazrat Humaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says that we used to go to Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), and Thabit would also be with us. Whenever he passed by a mosque, he would pray in it. When we came to Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he would ask, "Where is Thabit? Where is Thabit? Where is Thabit? He is such a person whom I love."
