Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27472 — A man who is asked: How are you this

Ibn Awn said: I passed by Amir al-Sha'bi while he was sitting in the courtyard of his house, and I asked: "How are you?" He said: When Shurayh was asked "How are you?" he would say: "I am in His favours," and he would point with his index finger towards the sky.
