Who is the Sufyan who said: "By Allah, when I disobey Allah, I recognize that in the disposition of my mount and the disposition of my wife"?
The statement in question is attributed to Fudayl ibn Iyad. Ibn Asakir mentioned it in Tarikh Dimashq with the wording: "Indeed, I disobey Allah, and I recognize that from the disposition of my donkey and my servant." Ibn Kathir attributed it to Fudayl in Al-Bidaya wa an-Nihaya with the wording: "Indeed, I disobey Allah, and I recognize that in the disposition of my donkey, my servant, my wife, and the mouse of my house." It was also attributed to him by Abu Nu'aym in Al-Hilya and Ibn Al-Jawzi in Sifat al-Safwa.
