Imām Ibn al-'Imād al-Ḥanbalī bercerita:
"Dulu, Ibn Hubayrah sangat ingin Imām Abū Ḥanīfah menerima jabatan sebagai Hakim (Qāḍhī) di kota Kūfah pada masa pemerintahan Marwān al-Ja'dī.
Tapi, Imām Abū Ḥanīfah menolak keras.
Karena penolakan itu, beliau disiksa dengan cambukan sebanyak 110 kali, dilakukan bertahap, 10 kali cambukan setiap hari.
Meskipun terus dicambuk, beliau tetap kukuh menolak jabatan tersebut.
Akhirnya, beliau dibebaskan.
Dan yang menarik, Imām Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal, setiap kali mengingat dan menceritakan kejadian ini, beliau selalu mendoakan rahmat untuk Imām Abū Ḥanīfah."

al-Imām Ibn al-ʿImād al-Ḥanbalī stated:
“Ibn Hubayrah had wanted him [i.e, al-Imām Abū Ḥanīfah] to take the position of judge in Kūfah during the days of Marwān al-Jaʿdī, but he refused. So he struck him one hundred lashes and ten lashes, ten each day, yet he persisted in refusing. Then he released him. And Imām Aḥmad, whenever he mentioned that [incident], would pray for mercy upon him [i.e, Abū Ḥanīfaḥ].” End quote
