Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Hayyan narrates from his father that Hazrat Amr bin Maymoon was a friend of Hazrat Rabee’ bin Khaytham. When life became difficult for Hazrat Rabee’ bin Khaytham, Hazrat Amr bin Maymoon said to his slave woman, “When he passes away, inform me.” She replied that Hazrat Rabee’ had said, “When I die, do not inform anyone about me and bury me secretly.” The narrator says that Hazrat Amr bin Maymoon spent the night on the platform of Bani Thawr until morning came, then he went to her.
