He used to care a lot on giving service to his father except on Tuesday nights, when he would go to Sahlah Mosque. But afterward, he left going to the Mosque.

I was with that honorable man on a trip to Samarra. He had a chamber where he slept alone, and I had a chamber connected to his. I serviced him with care day and at night, people used to gather in his presence until late at night.
