561. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, together from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Husayn Bin Ahmad Al-Munqary, from Yunus Bin Zabyaan who said: ‘I said to Abu Abdullah , Why do you  not forbid these two men from (criticising) this man?’ So he  said: ‘Who is this man, and who are these two men?’ I said, ‘Why do you  not forbid Hujr Bin Zaida, and Aamir Bin Juza’at, from (criticising) Al-Mufazzal Bin Umar?’ So he  said: ‘O Yunus! I  had asked these two to refrain from it, but they did not do it. So I called the two of them over, and asked both of them, and wrote to both of them telling them what I  needed from both of them, but they still did not restrain themselves from it. So, may Allah (azwj) not Forgive them both, for by Allah (azwj), there are many honourable ones in his cordiality than these two regarding what they are impersonating from my  cordiality. Where he has said, ‘Why does she think by the absence that I do not love her?’, then the two of them have not honoured me , but by Allah (azwj), had they both loved me , they would have loved the one whom I  love’.
