Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32305 — The Quran and authority

Amir bin Matar said: I was with Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "O Amir bin Matar, how will you be when the people take one path and the path of the Qur'an is separate? With which of the two will you be?" I said: "With the Qur'an; with it I will live and with it I will die." He said: "Then you will be very well."
