Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34411 — Reports on Abdullah bin Masud

Malik bin al-Harith (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Abu Khalid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I came with a delegation to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he gave the people of Sham preference over us in the gift. We asked him about this, and he said: "O people of Kufah, are you upset that I gave the people of Sham preference over you in the gift because of the distance of their journey? Indeed, I have favored you with Ibn Umm Abd (may Allah be pleased with him)."
