Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32713 — Reports on talk about rulers
٣٢٧١٣ - حدثنا ابن عيينة عن إبراهيم بن ميسرة عن طاوس قال: ذكرت الأمراء عند ابن عباس، (فابترك) (١) فيهم رجل، فتطاول حتى ما أرى في البيت أطول منه، فسمعت ابن عباس يقول: يا (هزهاز) (٢) لا تجعل نفسك فتنة للظالمين، فتقاصر حتى ما رأيت في القوم أقصر منه (٣).
It is narrated from Tawus that the rulers were mentioned before Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). A man among those people began to revile the rulers heavily, and he drew himself up until I could see no one in the house taller than him. Then I heard Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) say: "O restless one! Do not make yourself a trial for the oppressors!" So he shrank down until I saw no one among the people smaller than him.
