Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Awn bin Abdullah that he said: During the turmoil of Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), a man was sitting in a garden in Egypt, worried and sad, scratching the ground. During this, he raised his head and found a man with a spade standing before him. The man with the spade said: What is the matter that I find you worried and sad? As if, considering him insignificant, he said: It is nothing. Upon this, the man with the spade said: If it is for this world, then the world is a present provision from which both the righteous and the wicked eat. And the Hereafter is a true time in which the Powerful King will judge. He will decide between truth and falsehood. Until he mentioned that its joints are like flesh. Whoever errs in any of them will have erred from the truth. When this man heard these words, he said: My worry is about the internal issue among the Muslims. The narrator says: Upon this, the man said: Soon Allah will grant you salvation because of your compassion for the Muslims, and you should ask. Who is the person who asked from Allah and was not given? Who prayed to Allah and was not answered? Who relied on Allah and Allah was not sufficient for him? And who trusted in Allah and Allah did not grant him salvation? The narrator says: So I began to say: O Allah! Keep me safe and keep safety with me. He says: Thus, the turmoil ended and I suffered no harm from it.
