Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34637 — Reports on Basrah

Muhammad bin al-Muntashir (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed the people of Basra neither open a door of guidance nor give up a door of misguidance and error. And indeed the flood has been lifted from the people of the whole earth, except Basra."
