‘Adullaah ibn Muhammad al-Karmaanee said:
I visited Muhammad ibn an-Nadhr, and said:
“It is as if you dislike socialising with the people.”
And he replied:
“That is correct; how I [yearn to] be left alone.”
…and [as a token gesture to suggest he does socialise], he said:
“I am a participant [in the conversation] of he who remembers me?!”
