Question

What is the reference for this narration?
“It is narrated that Ibn Awn’s mother called him, and his voice rose above hers, so he feared (the consequences) and freed two slaves.”

 

Answer

Imam Abu Nu’aym (rahimahullah) has recorded this in Hilyatul Awliya.

(Hilyatul Awliya, vol. 3, pg. 39)

‘Allamah Ibnul Jawzi (rahimahullah) and ‘Allamah Dhahabi (rahimahullah) have also cited this.

‘Abdullah ibn ‘Awn’s (rahimahullah) mother once called him. His voice was at a louder pitch than hers. Out of fear (of being taken to task), he freed two slaves.

(Birrul Walidayn of Imam Ibnul Jawzi, pg. 6, Tarikhul Islam, vol. 7, pg. 104, Siyaru A’lamin Nubala, vol. 6, pg. 366. Also see: Min Adabil Islam of Shaykh ‘Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah -rahimahullah-, pg. 92)

‘Abdullah ibn ‘Awn (rahimahullah) was the student of Imam Muhammad ibn Sirin (rahimahullah), the great Tabi’i. Ibn Sirin (rahimahullah) himself was also known to speak in a soft tone when addressing his mother. See here

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
