38 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عِيسَى الطُّفَاوِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الزَّرَّادُ، قَالَ: رَأَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَاسِعٍ ابْنًا لَهُ وَهُوَ يَخْطِرُ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ: «وَيْحَكَ تَعَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ أُمُّكَ اشْتَرَيْتُهَا بِمِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ، وَأَبُوكَ فَلَا أَكْثَرَ اللَّهُ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِثْلَ ضَرَبِهِ» أَوْ قَالَ «نَحْوَهُ»

38. ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Īsā At-Tufāwī narrated to us (and said): Muhammad ibn ‘Abdillāh Az-Zarrād narrated to us and said: Muhammad ibn Wāsi’ saw one of his sons moving his hand back and forth when walking, so he said: “Woe to you. Come here. Do you know who you are? I bought your mother for two hundred dirham. And may Allāh not increase the example of your father among the Muslims.” Or he said: “Similar to him.”
