'Amr ibn Sa'id said, "Al-Hajjaj visited Ibn 'Umar while I was with
him, He asked, 'How are you?' 'Sound,' he replied. He asked, 'What is wrong
with you?' He replied, "I have been afflicted by the business of carrying
arms on a day when it is not lawful to carry them.' He was referring to
al-Hajjaj.*"
Al-Harith ibn 'Abdullah al-Ansari said, "I saw Umm ad-Darda' going to visit (a sick) Ansari man from the mosque and she was on her mount in an uncovered howdah."
Nafi' reported that when Ibn 'Umar visited someone who was ill,
he would ask him how he was. When he left him, he would say, "May Allah
choose what is best for you." He did not say more than that.
