  "ar": "مر ابن عساكر ببغداد سنة ثلاث وثلاثين وعاد إلى دمشق بعد سنتين؛ وقد قال بنفسه إنه لما عزم على التحديث استأذن أعيان شيوخه ورؤساء البلد فقال كلهم «ومن أحق بهذا منك» فشرع في ذلك في سنة ثلاث وثلاثين {cite:tarikh-islam-dhahabi p. 79}، ومنذ دولة معين الدين أنر لم يفارق مدينته فتفرغ أربعين سنة للعلم {cite:encyclopaedia-of-islam-2 vol. 3 p. 746}.",
  "en": "Ibn 'Asakir passed through Baghdad in 533/1139 and reached Damascus two years later {cite:encyclopaedia-of-islam-2 vol. 3 p. 746}. Of his resolve to teach hadith he said: he sought the permission of his senior shaykhs and the notables of the town, and every one answered 'who has a better right to this than you?' — so he began dictating in 533 {cite:tarikh-islam-dhahabi p. 79}. From the days of Mu'in al-Din Anar onward he never again left his native city, devoting forty years to learning {cite:encyclopaedia-of-islam-2 vol. 3 p. 746}.",
