Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37320 — The words of Abu al-Darda

It is narrated from Abu al-Bakhtari that he said: Once a fire was burning under a cooking pot of Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him, when suddenly Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) heard a sound from the pot. Then that sound became a sobbing sound like the voice of a child. The narrator said: Then the pot fell and turned over, and then it returned to its place, and nothing had spilled from it. So Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) began calling out: "O Salman! Look at this strange thing! Look at something the like of which neither you nor your father has seen!" Sayyiduna Salman said: "Had you remained silent, you would have heard some of the great signs of Allah Almighty."
