Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29556 — Those who said: There is no

Abu al-Ashhab said that Muzahim al-Dabbi related to al-Hasan al-Basri that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: A man, in order to water them at his basin, was waiting for his camels that were about to come to that basin, when a thirsty rider came to him calmly and said: May I come to the water? He replied: No. So that person moved away and tied up his mount. When his mount saw the water, it approached the basin and burst the basin. Then the owner of the basin got up, took his sword from his neck and killed that man. The narrator said: So he went out to seek a fatwa, and he asked some of the Companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) (I will not name them), and all of them made him despair, until he went to one Companion, who said to the man: Are you able to turn him back from the water just as you brought him to it? He said: No. He said: Are you able to seek a tunnel in the earth or a ladder into the sky? He said: No. Then the man had gone only a little way when he called him back and asked him: Do you have parents? He said: My mother is alive. That Companion said to him: Go, carry her and serve her and obey her. If the other person enters Hell, then may Allah distance the one who distanced him.
