The Angelic Side of Human Beings

It has been narrated by Ad-Dhahabi:

وعن رجل قال: عندنا بخراسان يظنون أن أحمد لا يشبه البشر، يظنون أنه من الملائكة

ENGLISH:

One man said: "In Khurasaan, they did not think that Imam Ahmad resembled a human being. They thought that he resembled the Angels."

NEDERLANDS:

"In Khurasaan dachten de mensen niet dat Imam Ahmad op mensen lijkt. Ze vonden dat hij op Engelen lijkt."
