Yahyā ibn Ma’īn رحمه الله said:
I have never seen anyone like Ahmad ibn Hanbal.
We were with him for fifty years and he never boasted about anything.
He used to say:
“We are a people who are in need [of Allāh]. If it weren’t for Allah’s protection, we would have been exposed”
[Hilyatul Awliyā 9/181]
