English translation
[68] It was narrated that Hammâd bin Zaid said: "A man had been staying close to Ayyûb and listening to him, then Ayyûb noticed that he was missing. They said to him: 'O Abû Bakr, now he is staying close to 'Amr bin 'Ubaid.'" Hammâd said: "One day while I was with Ayyûb, and we had gone early to the market, he met that man. Ayyûb greeted him with Salâm and asked him, then Ayyûb said to him: 'I have heard that you are staying close to that man.'" Hammâd asked: "[Did] he name him," meaning 'Amr. "He said: 'Yes, O Abû Bakr. He tells us weird things.' Ayyûb said to him: 'We run away from' or 'we feel anxious about those weird things.'"
