Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37605 — The words of Masruq

It is narrated from Amir that a man used to sit with Masruq; the narrator knew him by his face but was not acquainted with his name. The narrator said: Then he went out to see him off. The narrator said: He was the last of those who bade him farewell. He said: "You are the greatest of all the reciters and their leader. In your honour lies their honour, and your disgrace is their disgrace. So do not talk to yourself about poverty or long life."
