Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31999 — Those who disliked earning a living

Abu Iyas Mu'awiyah bin Qurrah said: I was a guest at the home of Amr bin al-Nu'man bin Muqarrin. When the month of Ramadan came, a man came to him from Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr with two thousand dirhams and said: "The Amir sends you his greetings of peace and says: 'We have not left out any good reciter of the Qur'an without some wealth from us having reached him. So use these for your expenses this month.'" Amr said: "Convey my greetings of peace to the Amir and tell him: 'By Allah, we do not recite the Qur'an for the sake of this world.'" And he sent this gift back.
