Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ibn Aun says that I passed by Hazrat Amir Sha'bi while he was sitting in the courtyard of his house, so I asked: How are you? He replied: When Hazrat Shurayh was asked, "How are you?" he would say: I am in His blessings, and he would point towards the sky with his index finger.
