Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32605 — Reports on talk about rulers
٣٢٦٠٥ - حدثنا ابن علية عن (١) عيينة عن أبيه قال: لقي (أبو بكرة) (٢) المغيرة بن شعبة (يومًا) (٣) نصف النهار وهو (متقنع) (٤)، فقال: أين تريد؟ (فقال) (٥): أريد حاجة، قال: إن الأمير يزار، ولا يزور (٦).
Uyaynah narrates that one day at midday Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) met Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him), who had a cloth drawn over his head. Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah asked: "Where are you going?" He said: "I am going for some need." He said: "People come to visit the governor; the governor himself does not go to visit anyone."
