Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Tariq bin Shihab that he said: I had an elder brother whose kunyah was Abu Azrah. He used to mention Hazrat Salman very frequently. So, after hearing my brother mention Hazrat Salman so much, I became eager to meet him. The narrator says: One day my brother said to me, "Do you wish to meet Abu Abdullah? He is staying at the place of Qadisiyyah." The narrator says: When Hazrat Salman would return from jihad, he would stop at Qadisiyyah, and when he would return from Hajj, he would camp at Mada'in. The narrator says: I said, "Yes (I wish to meet him)." The narrator says: So we set out until we arrived at his house in Qadisiyyah. He was sitting, and in front of him was a piece of cloth. He was either weaving a basket or tanning leather. The narrator says: So we greeted him and sat down. The narrator says: He said, "O nephew! You must have intention, for it is effective."
