For I never despised the men of Azd, although their country was far apart from mine. |

Al-Darakutni having been asked if Ibn Duraid was to be considered as a true transmitter of pieces preserved by tradition, replied that some doubts had been expressed on the subject; indeed, it is said that he was careless in his delivery of these pieces, attributing them to the first author whose name came uppermost. The philologer Abu Mansur al-Azhari relates that, having gone to see Ibn Duraid, he found him drunk, and therefore,” said he, “I never returned to his house again.” |

He is considered, however, as a correct and trustworthy Traditionist by all competent masters in that branch of knowledge. The greater portion of the works and pieces which he taught was dictated by him, from memory, without his having recourse to a book; it is said that the philological matter which he thus made known filled thirty thousand leaves of paper. It was this copiousness which exposed him to the imputation of falsehood. |

On their way, they passed by a bridge, and one of them said: “Let us write down the name of this bridge and ask him about it; we shall see what answer he makes.” |

A month afterwards, they put forward a person to question him about that same word, on which he replied: “Did you not ask me the same question a month ago, and did I not answer it so and so?” On hearing these words, the assembly was filled with admiration at his quick apprehension, acuteness, and promptitude in calling to mind the question and the time at which it had been proposed; but whether his answer was exact or not, they had no means of verifying. |
