Going to storytellers and sitting with them, and those who did so
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27863 — Going to storytellers and sitting
٢٧٨٦٣ - حدثنا وكيع عن إسماعيل قال: ذكروا عند الشعبي الجلوس مع ⦗٣٧٩⦘ القصاص كعدل (عتق رقبة) (١) فقال: لأن أعتق رقبة أحب إلي من أن أجلس مع القصاص أربعة أشهر.
Isma'il said that some people mentioned to Imam al-Sha'bi that sitting with a storyteller is equal to freeing a slave! At this he said: That I should free a slave is dearer to me than that I should sit in the company of a storyteller for four months.
