So he then asked who is the Faqih of
Madinah?
Ibn Abi Layla replied :

And who are these
Ibn Abi Layla replied: "From the non Arabs"
And then he asked who is the Faqih of Sham and Ibn Abi Layla replied
"Makhool " and who is he?
"From the non Arabs" replied ibn Abi Layla.
So he turned red with fury and then asked further who is the Faqih of Kufa and Ibn Abi Layla replied:
"Ibrahim Nakha'i and Amir Sha'biy" and who are these enquired Isa ?
Ibn Abi Layla replied: "They are from the Arabs" so Isa heaved a sigh of relief.
Ibn Abi Layla said if not because I was afraid of the evil that might come from him due to the anger I saw I would have said Ammar ibn Abi Sulaiman and Al Hakam ibn Uyainah
