Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31559 — A man afflicted by hunger

Wa'il bin Dawud said: I heard al-Hasan al-Basri relating that while a man was asleep he saw in a dream a caller calling out in the sky: "O people, take up the weapons for your alarm and fear." So the people set about it and took up weapons, until a man would come with nothing but a stick. Then a caller from the sky called out: "These are not the weapons for your alarm." A man from the people of the earth asked: "What are the weapons for our alarm?" He said: "They are these words: Allah is free of all imperfections, all praise is for Allah, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest."
