Pisarash Abdulloh meguyad: «Dar zamoni khilofati Vosiq dar tangdastii shadide budem. SHakhse mekhost chahor hazor dirham ba unvoni hadya ba padaram bidihad, ki onro az padarash ba irs burda va bino ba izhori on shakhs na az sadaqa bud va na az zakot. Bo vujudi isrori on shakhs padaram az qabul kardani on hadya khuddori namud. Pas az chande dar in mavrid bo padaram suhbat kardam, guftand: «Agar onro qabul mekardem, hamai onro masraf karda budem va chize az on boqi namonda bud». Abudovud meguyad: «Majlisi Imom Ahmad majlisi okhirat bud, ki dar on az lazzatho va khushihoi dunyo yode nameshud va hej goh Imom Ahmadro nadidam, ki lazzathoi dunyoro zikr kunad».
Abujafar Muhammad ibni YAqubi Saffor meguyad: «Hamrohi Ahmad ibni Hanbal dar Somarro budem, az u talabi duo kardem, guftand: «Parvardigoro, Tu medoni, ki mo beshtarin amolero, ki dust medori, anjom medihem, pas moro hamesha bar amole, ki dust medori, qaror bideh», sipas sukut kardand. Talabi duoi beshtare kardem, guftand: «Parvardigoro, ba rosti mo az Tu ba vasilai on qudrate, ki baroi osmonho va zamin gufti: «Biyoed dar zeri amru hukmi Man, chi bikhohed va chi nakhohed, guftand: Omadem itoatkunandagon», talab mekunem, ki moro muvaffaq ba anjom dodani amole kuni, ki dar on rizoyati Tust. Parvardigoro, mo az faqr ba Tu panoh mebarem, magar az faqiri va muhtoji ba Tu, panoh mebarem ba Tu az khoriyu zillat, magar az khoriyu zillat baroi Tu, Parvardigoro, bar mo ziyod nemat madeh, ki sarkashi mekunem va nemathoyatro bar mo kam makun, ki nematro faromush mekunem va baroi mo az rahmatat va rizqat on chiro bubakhsh, ki moro muvaffaq ba toatu ibodati Tu mekunad va moro bo fazlu karamat beniyoz kun»».
Ibni Kasir (r) pas az in ki dar borai zuhdu taqvoi Imom Ahmad sukhan meronad, meguyad: «Habarhoi voridshuda az u dar mavridi zuhdu taqvo bisyor ziyod ast va Imom Ahmad dar mavridi zuhd kitobe bisyor purmanfiat talif kardaast, ki hammonandi on to kunun navishta nashudaast, hamesha dar haddi tavoni khud zindagi mekardand».
