أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: "كَانَ الْحَسَنُ يَكْتُبُ وَيُكْتِبُ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ لَا يَكْتُبُ وَلَا يُكْتِبُ".
Yunus bin Ubaid said: Imam Hasan al-Basri, may Allah have mercy on him, used to write and have others write, while Imam Muhammad bin Sirin, may Allah have mercy on him, neither wrote nor had others write.
